The Junior Leadership Training Academy (JLTA) is one
of the several options to help answer these questions. It is held
once a year with several camps taking place that will give boys
intense, professional training along with powerful spiritual
ministry. This training experience is designed to be a catalyst and
springboard of spiritual encouragement.
The goal of the JLTA is to prepare young men for a gradual, ever
increasing role of leadership in their local outpost. By itself,
the JLTA cannot accomplish this. It takes a local outpost with the
vision to provide a place of ministry for these older Ranges. |
 |
More importantly, it is an active outpost that continues to give the
sense of belonging with a highly skilled group of Rangers. The
inspiration and training the Ranger brings back to his outpost is a
source of rich ministry and edification to other boys in the outpost
It is typical that a young man will experience a deeper, more
meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ during his training at the
Academy. He will learn things about himself and what he needs
to do in order to follow the Lord's will for his life. That
high sense of spiritual awareness will become infectious to his
outpost. The entire outpost will desire to have the same
experience; to learn, to advance, and to respond to the challenge of
the JLTA. In short, through the JLTA, boys are learning the
importance of assuming their role of leadership within their church,
thus training boys to become leaders! |
