Student Leaders Speak

“One of the biggest things I’ve learned as a student leader is the importance of leading by example. Those who I lead watch how I carry myself, how I speak, and how I love others. I’m not perfect, but trying to reflect God in those areas has brought great things. Living in a way that…

“I took a few things away from the Equip Retrain Conference. Namely, I learned the importance of letting someone read the scripture themself and through your questions they will begin to process and  internalize the gospel. This excites and challenges me because in the past I was telling them what I know – but it…

“I help lead the Friday morning Bible study at Andover Middle School because Jesus changed my life and I want to help others come to know Jesus.
