2. soul61: who is it for?
Soul61 isn't for everybody. We'll have around 35 places during each course, and although we are very nice people we won't be able to invite everyone to come and join us.
We'll interview and chase up references for those people we think are most suitable, but to give you a heads up below are the kind of people who we're generally after!
young and emerging leaders...
The course is specifically about leaders. This doesn't mean we're only looking for people who have already planted a church and seen thousands come to know the Lord. In fact if you've never led so much as a dog on a lead, that doesn't mean you won't be counted. However, we are looking for people who feel God is drawing them towards leadership as those who've started to realise that already will probably benefit most from the course.
over 18 but under 25...
We're not being age-ist but are gearing Soul61 to those aged between 18 and 25. The idea is to support, grow and encourage young leaders, rather than established ones. Please bear in mind that this isn't a formal course with a youthwork qualification, but a chance to come to learn and grow.
servant hearts...honestly...
We’re not looking for people who think they’ve got all the skills necessary to be an amazing leader and are just looking for a platform. You don’t need to think you’re a particularly good leader at the moment. What we are looking for are people who have a genuine and deep desire to develop their character and an openness to be used by God wherever He chooses.
