3. gap year ideas: soul edge
Soul Edge is all about encouraging young leaders to grow by helping them to learn to walk closer to Jesus. It's about living radical lives for Jesus and being taken to the edge spiritually...
the aim of soul edge...
Soul Edge is a leadership training course aimed at equipping and empowering young men and women to bring change wherever they are.
This is done though the development of a personal relationship with Jesus and by promoting an attitude that embraces challenge and change.
adventure...
Soul Edge is an adventure based gap year program. Each week during the training section of the course, we go out to various part of western Canada to encounter an adventure. This experiences span a wide range of activities from canoeing in Northern Saskatchewan, to mountain trekking in the Rocky Mountains, to snowboarding. We believed that for many young men and women too, this is a great way to be challenged and changed.
training...
Each day there are two teaching sessions taking a deeper look at topics relevant to young leaders, in order to bring change and challenge into their personal lives. During the course there is an in-depth look at: Identity, Spiritual Disciplines, Relationship with the Lord, Leadership, and the Kingdom of God. Physical training is also a part of Soul Edge because we believe the participants need to be pushed both spiritually, mentally, and physically. This is done through daily runs and strength building exercises.
outreach...
Our heart is to go to the hard places and to equip and empower young men and women to live out the great commission in everyday life. We believe that the best way to learn how to do outreach is simply by doing it.
A large segment of the Soul Edge program focuses on taking guys to places of great need to minister the love of Jesus. From the remote areas of Kenya, Africa to Mexico, to Northern Saskatchewan, we believe that there is no better training ground.
to sum up...
In its simplest form, Soul Edge is just providing the opportunity to really get to know Jesus. By giving the Lord three or five months out of your life, you can be transformed. We desire that you will be able to walk in the fullness of life that you have been created for! Stepping into this is possible because we serve such an amazing and powerful God!
