PRE-TRIP PREP
You and your team will spend a few minutes each day, going thru the 20-day Leadership Field Guide. Following the book of Nehemiah, the pre-trip prep session will help you and your team sharpen each other to be better leaders at home, at work, at church, and in your community through study, reflection, prayer, discussion, and action.
During the pre-trip prep we will use WhatsApp to share our thoughts with one as we go through the Field Guide.
During this time you should make sure you have all the gear you will need for the trip. Use our Gear List: Lion's Head as a reference guide, being sure to note what is required, as opposed to recommended.
