he was faithful to the Father.

American Heritage Girls Launches Presence Point
Shepherd Leadership Patch
                      American Heritage Girls launched the Shepherd Lead-
                      ership Patch in late April. Sponsored by Presence Point,
                      this patch will help girls of all ages better understand the
                      biblical concept of shepherding well those they influence
                      and impact.

                      The Shepherd Leadership Patch can be used by both girls and boys. If you
                      would like information about how to implement the Patch in your student
                      program, contact Holly Culhane at Holly@PresencePoint.com.

The Central Indiana YFC Workshop
The Central Indiana YFC team embraced the
shepherding message. Oh, how faithful our
dear Good Shepherd was during their annual
Vision Days gathering.

Memorable quips and questions from this experience:
• “Jesus invites us to shepherd with Him.” Great reminder!
• “Service + Sacrifice = Biblical leadership” So insightful!
• “May I use this to train our ministry leaders?” YES!
• “Can I use this to teach leadership to the kids?” YES!
• Is it cheapening the message to teach little bits of this message at a time?”
  No! The message is rich in snippets and you can build on it!
