Designed with the student in mind, we encourage young leaders to commit themselves to excellence, which SLU defines as the ability to rise above self, circumstances, obstacles, change and the crowd. Patterned after leading Fortune 500 corporate leadership seminars, each student is exposed to comprehensive programs focusing on leadership skills such as time and life management, goal setting, dealing with conflict and difficult people, and developing a Christian worldview. Combining in-depth classroom lectures with accelerated learning, interactive workshops and in-the-field edutainment experiences, SLU spans the globe with four comprehensive programs. From the Smithsonian to the British Museum, the Louvre to the Vatican, SLU displays the dynamic role that faith has played in shaping the arts and the culture. All four of our programs are based on the belief that the greatest catalyst for personal development occurs through the people you meet; the places you go; and the books you read.

Biography:
You may not know or even be aware of some of the sexual and emotional struggles your youth go through day in and day out, struggles that the church has often put on the backburner. These are issues many wish to avoid, but doing so speaks volumes to those lost on the other side of this neglect. You have to prepare yourself - you need to start asking yourself, "How should I respond?"
Many people fight silently and alone with the painful questions surrounding homosexuality. Teenagers struggle with their sexuality, wondering why they're attracted to the same gender, wondering if that's the way it has to be, but too afraid to tell the people they love. Parents watch their children engage in self-destructive lifestyles but aren't sure how to help them without pushing them further away.
These are not easy questions - they're truly heart wrenching. But you're not alone in this. Understanding that the majority of student ministries are not well-equipped to handle the epidemic issues surrounding sexuality, Ignite Student Outreach has developed a partnership with Exodus International in order to equip youth leaders to know how to effectively minister to their students who are looking for freedom in Christ. |
