WHAT IS THE LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE?
A one-year life-changing leadership development program for emerging children’s ministry leaders





LE is the best thing in children's ministry that ever happened in my life. Whoever came up with this idea must have had a quality listening time with God. Tusonge na mbele kwa hii safari (let's move on with this journey)!

I am re-envisioned, inspired and challenged with a more holistic and global view of children’s ministry and of leadership.

The ‘retreat’ nature of the time away was so refreshing, time to rest, recover, be built up by others, and space to engage properly with content that, at home, would easily be read and forgotten.

"Learning from not only the facilitators but also from other participants was very eye-opening and a huge blessing for me! Yes, there was a lot of new information we got - BUT it wasn’t the main thing that changed me. What truly had an impact on me were the relationships with the people I met and the experiences we shared. God changed my heart about children’s ministry."

"To experiment with a truly 'kingdom minded' attitude. Beyond a theory, to experience it with His truth, love and Spirit gave me a beautiful taste. Today I know it is possible to work fully for the Kingdom. I have been a beneficiary, and I am willing to take forward this attitude. Thank you!"

"There are over two billion children in the world – yet at the moment, most have never heard had an opportunity to hear of Jesus. The GCF Leadership Experience – with its emphasis on working together – has enormous potential to change this. Its aim is to invest in leaders who work locally to inspire and equip local churches to reach and disciple kids, and who network globally to collaborate on child-focussed projects, thinking and strategies."
