Testimonials | lead222

		Kyle Cooper “4 years ago we got connected to Lead222 and attended a servant leadership trip in Mississippi. We were looking for an event where our students could serve but also be challenged to become better leaders now. The experience started a movement in our student ministry where our core students take leadership over our ministry more and more seriously. Last year we hosted Servant Leadership here in DC with students fulfilling most of the volunteer roles on food, housing, projects…all the things that have to happen to make servant leadership work at a site. Lead 222's commitment to raising up the next generation of student leaders is incredible.”

		Kristi Hayes Lead 222 has provided me with like-minded people who understand youth ministry and know how to better me as a person as well as a leader. I strive to find people in my life who can teach me through their experiences. I have found great encouragement and leadership development in Lead 222. I have people I can take any concerns or questions about ministry or life in general too. I have developed life long friendships through this process. Lead 222 is a network of people I believe in and believe investing in.

		Chris Herning “When I entered my first season with Lead 222, I was burned out and ready to quit. I entered Lead with a dose of skepticism and apprehension. However, the first Sol Watch I went on with my wife was a huge turning point for me. I came away personally refreshed and with a renewed sense of "I can do this (ministry)!" It was the first time in 15 years of ministry where I felt like my wife was being rewarded for my ministry rather than sacrificing yet again for it. Since then, I have been involved in four great Servant Leadership trips that have greatly impacted our students. I have built some great friendships that have been a real blessing and encouragement to me and have been exposed to some great opportunities and people that I would never have crossed paths with otherwise. There has been nothing but good fruit from my involvement with Lead and I am really grateful.”

		Tim Homa “What has impacted me the most in being a part of Lead222 has been the interaction with youth leaders from all over the country. During my years with Lead I have always looked forward to the times when the leaders get together to plan and cast vision for the future in youth ministry. High level men and women sitting in a room sharing knowledge and wisdom is what makes me excited about leading youth. The ability to pick up a phone and call any of the leaders involved with Lead gives me the confidence to lead up be more effective in reaching students for Jesus. “

		Jody Skogen Lead222 is an incredible organization, and I have been so greatly blessed to learn from and be challenged by top-notch leaders who desire to honor God in their ministries and in the rest of their lives. Through peer-coaching groups, I have heard the perspectives and felt the prayer support from fellow partners in ministry. Through individual coaching, I have been stretched and have found accountability and shepherding regarding my personal life and the specifics of my ministry setting. Through Lead222 gatherings such as SolWatch, I have been encouraged and nurtured. It may sound “too good to be true” – but it really is true.
