Giving Hope to Teens: Shepherding the Heart of Your Teens
Shepherding the hearts of our young people is something that is at the forefront of the minds of those who care and watch for souls that have been entrusted to them. Young people need guidance for their futures as well as guidance for decisions of today. They search daily for direction with relationships, how to battle their temptations, and how to handle the trials that bombard their lives. Join us for The Wilds Youth Workers’ Conference as we focus on “Shepherding the Heart of Your Teens.” Some sessions will be designed to help you shepherd your teens through trials and temptations, and some sessions will be designed to help you personally as you pour your life into those whom the Lord has given you oversight. Along with the valuable and instructive sessions, there is much time to fellowship, pray, and engage with others who share in your burden to guide the hearts of young people.
