Your harvests will be so plentiful that they
will last for a year, and even then you will have to throw away what is left of
the old harvest to make room for the new.

JLTA Purpose and Description |
| In the ministry of Royal Rangers, boys have been
striving to achieve all that is held high in terms of standards,
growth, and honors. For years they have purposed to attain one
advancement to the next but only if there is a "next" challenge.
Some of these boys achieve the highest award a boy can receive, the
Gold Medal of Achievement. But often times after receiving
this award, there are no challenges in Royal Rangers for these boys
to work to overcome. It's not long before they are no longer
actively involved in Royal Rangers and sometimes not involve in
their church at all. |
|
 |
Many of these young men
are between the ages of 16 and 21; a time in their lives when they
have a need to devote themselves completely and begin to fully
develop their leadership skills. As a result, young men with
as many as ten years of training in the church begin to slip away
from the church. Years later, one or two of these young men
may reappear in the church and perhaps become involved as a leader
in the church, sometimes in Royal Rangers as a commander.
What happened to all those young men? What happened to all
those Gold Medalists? What could have been accomplished during
those years when the same young men wanted to do more in the Royal
Rangers ministry? |
| |
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! |
