The young people leaders of Lentegeur district met with the District Rector, Shepherd Gavin Van Der Hoven at Woodlands congregation after the morning divine service on Sunday 17 July 2022 for a coffee date.

Whilst enjoying their coffee and something sweet they engaged in a meaningful discussion which gave the YPL's an opportunity to voice their challenges and learning experiences in their congregations. The thoughts shared touched the hearts of all present.

The YPL's were reminded by the District Rector that they are always remembered in prayer by their leaders and were encouraged to always take on a Christ like leadership style.

The District Rector then shared some thoughts with the team on:

Y - young, not in age but in heart, let's not think for the young people. Be youthful in our approach. Do not allow the tough times in leadership to make us "old"

P - pioneering, we are living in unprecedented times, leadership styles of the past will not work today. A new way of leading is required - this group are pioneers of the modern day

L - leading, to lead in a way that inspires others to join the team

The YPL's were also thanked for the sterling work they are doing. All praise and thanks
