Catalyst

Our definition for Catalyst is an agent of change. Change in every sphere of life can be caused by a catalyst who is passionate about a cause and willing to instigate change even if it costs them personally.

April and May are the summer months here in Davao, no school and plenty of free time for the future leaders of families, churches, barangays, cities and even our country. Here at Global Impact we take advantage of all that free time by hosting the annual Catalyst Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) and Conquest Youth Adventure Camps.

Catalyst YLA is a four week intensive training for potential youth leaders, designed to be holistic and very fun. This year we are running a five week intern training along side the Academy with past Catalyst graduates who are interested in further leadership development. Students for Catalyst are joining us from all over our island (seven different tribes included) and the USA.

During the up and coming months we would appreciate your prayers and we will post photos and video on facebook when we can. We are running a campaign to help pay for the tribal kids Academy experience and if youwould like to help, let us know. $50 once off donation will pay for one student's tuition for YLA.

On a personal note Sarah and Ethan have started baseball at Faith Academy. Sarah feels a little like a fish out of water helping to coach the t-ball players when cricket is much more up her alley but Ethan is loving it just because it is a sport.

Also, we are excited to welcome Wendy Morton who will be joining us for a little over two weeks during the Academy and lending us a hand.
