“I’m a leader of small groups, and the leader of “Saved to Share,” a fundraising group for clean water wells. I started coming to the Summit because my church sponors a group to attend each year. I’ve only missed two over the last 12 years. I’ve learned so much, and have bonded with other leaders in our church. It’s funny because I always felt so inadequate, but since attending the Summit, I have taken on small leadership roles that I might never have considered previously–leading small groups and leading the fundraising efforts for the wells in particular.
The biggest impact of the Summit was a handout/study from several years ago about “The Hole in our Gospel” by Rich Stearns. It started a small movement in our church to provide clean water wells among other ministry efforts. These wells are provided through CAMA, our Alliance church relief agency, so all that we do is done in the name of Jesus. It’s opening doors in these countries to share the Good News.
The Summit is well worth the time and investment. You will never leave any Willow Creek Leadership Summit unchanged.”
