‘Emerging young leaders' meet in Keswick

A group of 15 “emerging young leaders” gathered at the Pencil Factory in Keswick, in the heart of the Lake District, to think about Christian leadership and learn how to understand and teach the Bible.

The Emerging Young Leaders programme is designed for 16-18-year-olds and run by Keswick Ministries. The organisation’s Kids and Youth Ministry Lead, Ben Pearson, told en: “There is something powerful about seeing young people commit to following Christ with an enthusiasm to open God’s word together, encourage one another, and think about how to serve God’s Kingdom.”

The weekend serves as a starting point for the young people to learn how to understand and teach the Bible; attendees spend time in small groups and take part in practical sessions on sharing and communicating the gospel. Upon completion of the programme, the young people are given the opportunity to teach on the Kids Team at the ministry’s annual Keswick Convention.
