Journey with the Master

GenMin's primary program for developing young emerging leaders is Journey with the Master (JWM).

What is JWM? It's a two-year-long "journey" for older teens and young adults who travel in partnership with mentors and JWM faculty, seeking to discover and embrace the Spirit's call to go deeper in ministry with Jesus. JWM includes four weekend gatherings (intensives):

> The Master's Touch - discovering who you are in Jesus

> The Master's Ministry - ministering with and like Jesus

> The Master's Calling - hearing and answering the call of Jesus

> Fishing with the Master - becoming disciplemakers with Jesus

Between these gatherings, participants grow with help from mentors and JWM faculty. Those who discover a call to pastoral ministry are invited to participate in additional training, including pastoral internships.

> Who is JWM for? Most JWM participants are staff members in GenMin camps or missions - though all older teen and young adult believers (typically age 15 to 25) are welcome to participate. Mentors are encouraged to participate with them.

> Who conducts JWM? The program is led by GenMin trainers experienced in helping teens and young adults identify and pursue their calling to ministry with Jesus.
