Developing Leaders!

By Jeff Schofield,CO International Network Director
One of the great things about working in our office at the GRC (Global Resource Center) is that we have the opportunity to serve and resource staff from around the world on a daily basis. But our office is just one representation of the many resource teams that it takes to make Campus Outreach run effectively. There are 24 different franchises in the CO world and each franchise has a resource team to serve their individual staff and students.

Our GRC office has the privilge of not only resourcing our international teams, but we also look to resource the other 24 franchise teams. One of the ways we do this is by putting on an annual two day conference for the resource staff from every regional franchise. We just concluded our most recent conference last weekend. The purpose for this event is to provide training, development, and community for these developing leaders. This conference provides an avenue to build relationships, share ideas, successes, reach out for help, and to cast and renew vision.

We count it a privelege to put on this conference to serve and develop these leaders since they are the ones normally behind the scenes taking care of others. This allows them time to have some training and refreshing without worrying about running the conference. What a blessing to see how this group has grown over the past year. Many franchises that were under staffed last year, were able to bring one, two, and even three new staff members to the conference! What a joy to see the teams grow not only in numbers but in effectiveness and impact as we prepare as an organization to deepen and double our campus presence in both the US and around the world.

Thank you so much for being involved in our ministry and in our lives.
