Heroic Leadership Institute Justice-intensive in Maryland

Consider us psyched....today 12 students from the Heroic Leadership Institute arrive to join us here at the Central Maryland Vineyard for their "Justice-intensive". HLI is a boot camp for young (aimed at 18 to 35-ish) leaders in the body of Christ. It is a 9-month full-time training program currently based in Lewiston, Maine at the Pathway Vineyard.

The dream of HLI is to create a path within the Vineyard movement for our young leaders to be trained and released into significant ministry and as life-long lovers of Jesus and people. The hope is to create a green-house affect where the students are exposed in an intense way to three strategic venues of training. The rest of this week is going to be intense: filled with both serious hands-on justice training and experience on the street, formational prayer and soul care for a sustainable life of "Doing Justice", as well as some in-depth teaching and conversational reflection on Jesus' heart for the justice of the Kingdom!

As a way of preparation and focusing our attention on what God has given us to do, we've been meditating on this verse from Isaiah 30...why don't you join us throughout the rest of this week in praying through and meditating on this with us: “Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!”
