One of our big goals with this blog site is to help people who are thinking about working at LT to understand why this is such a great place to work. So I thought I would take a second to explain why I love working at LT. I think three words describe why I work here: adventure, challenge, and impact.
Adventure: I have been at LeaderTreks for 8 years and it has been the most fun-filled, adventurous years of my life. My job has taken me from Bolivia to Alaska and so many places in between. I have paddled the coast of Baja in a sea kayak chasing dolphins. I have slept under the stars in the Rocky Mountains listening to the howls of wolves. I have held orphaned children in my arms while in the Dominican Republic . I have never had another job, nor could I dream of one, that would expose me to so many great people, take me to so many wonderful places, and allow me to have so many amazing experiences. When I explain my job to people just about everybody I talk to can't believe the kinds of things we do every year at LT.
Challenge: The last 8 years of my life have been some of the most growing and stretching years that I have ever lived. Many people have spoken into my life and I have changed in ways that I have never imagined. When I think about who I was when I started at LT and who I am today, I am amazed that God has taken me this far. Not only has God challenged me but I have also learned how to be a challenging person in others' lives. My time at LT has made me a better husband, father, mentor, and coach. In short, LT has made me a better person.
Impact: One of the biggest reasons I stay at LT is to be a part of the Kingdom building impact that this organization has. We get the opportunity to speak truth into the lives of students as we introduce them to what God is doing in the world. Not only do we help meet the needs of the poor in Appalachia or the orphans in Honduras but we also get the chance to help students find their role in God's Kingdom. When I see the impact students are having far beyond their time at LT I understand why working here is so important.
So if you are considering the Summit program, I can only tell you that I have not regretted any of the sacrifices I have made to be a part of the team at LT. This has been the greatest ride of my life and I can't wait to see where it will take me next.
Summit is part of the full time community at LeaderTreks. It is a hands on opportunity to learn cutting edge leadership skills, develop personally, grow spiritually and become a leader in the Kingdom of God.
Summit is a two year full time commitment, during that time Summiteers learn leadership through experience.
Summit is a part of the ministry and work of LeaderTreks in Carol Stream IL, just outside of Chicago.
The goal of Summit is to help develop you as a leader in God's Kingdom. We firmly believe that God's desire is to transform the world, and that his only plan to do that is you - the body of his Church.
