LIT Training

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."
(1 Tim 4:12)

Our yearly North Country Baptist Youth Ministries LIT (leaders in training) weekend was held recently at His Thousand Hills. We were excited to have all new teens join us for the first time as LITs.

A program such as this needs to be continually rebuilding as the older teens move on into full leadership positions or off to college and jobs. We were also privileged to have 3 of our LIT alumni join in to help with the training and offer encouragement.

Some highlights of the weekend were hearing the LITs give a short devotional talk, a time for journaling and reflection, a foot washing and a special campfire where everyone present told about their own spiritual journey, Many topics were covered at the training; leadership styles, sharing your faith, prayer, conflict management and, for those coming to help at junior camp, we talked about common camper problems.

The LIT program has been a blessing for all. The teens learn and grow and get a chance to put the training to good use at camp or in their home churches. The adults are blessed by the faith and courage of these teens. And the younger children are given some great teen role models. We all come home knowing we are truly "One in the Spirit" as we seek to minister together in His name.
