This summer I am a Team Leader on the LP- that pretty much means I am leading three older girls who are Group Leaders at the LP. So I am helping them know more of Jesus this summer, as they are helping 4-5 girls in their room do the same.

I am so thankful to be at LP this summer and excited to see what the Lord will do in and through me throughout the rest of the summer. LP is always a stretching environment so I have been learning a lot about how to lead these girls well -pointing them to Jesus and not to myself, balancing my time between time with PC girls and the girls I am leading this summer, and how to lead through my weakness and depend on the Lord.

Here are some of the girls on LP (I would love for you to be praying for their summers !)

Leadership Project 2010

So this is my first post from the Leadership Project in Myrtle Beach. It has already been a whirlwind of a summer, but has been so fun to be back at LP and get to be a part of what the Lord is doing in students’ lives this summer.

Here is the rundown of what happens at LP: students from four campuses (PC, Furman, Wofford College, and Western Carolina University) move down to Myrtle Beach for 2 months and get jobs at local businesses in Myrtle Beach (for example: Wal-Mart, Sketchers, Build-a-Bear). At night we have different training times including Bible Study Training, Evangelism Training, Prayer Training, and Disciples Groups.

Here are some pics of the LP so far (I will try to explain through captions)

Welcome Day at the LP (my favorite day)

(each team had a theme- I was Hannah Montana...of course)

Our theme for the summer is Witness…so what does that mean and how does that impact our summer?

We have been learning that created us for a specific purpose as image bearers of Him. So as we begin to worship Him and He continues to transform our lives we bear his image and his message. Thus, we not only witness Him with our lives but also share Him with others as a result of worshipping Him. All of our meetings, talks, and training times will be viewed through this theme. We are all studying 1 Peter this summer and our theme verse is 1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”

Coming Soon: More LP updates!
