DESPERATION YOUTH LEADERS NETWORK
If you are a youth leader, we invite you to join us for several youth leader tracks at our June or July Desperation Conference. Listed below are several ways to connect at the conference with other leaders from around the country and gain new resources for your own ministry.
- Thursday Late Night Coffee and Dessert meeting with David Perkins
- Friday and Saturday Seminars geared specifically towards leaders
- Vow development and implementation discussions for your youth group
The early Morning Prayer Meetings on Friday and Saturday morning have become a highlight of the conference. Held in the World Prayer Center Chapel with a majestic view of the Rocky Mountains, these prayer meetings are the ultimate start to the day encouraging students and leaders alike to engage with God.
The late night concerts are for those that don’t want to go to bed too early!
