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! Live Into Your Calling®
