Untapped: DeVos Urban Leadership Reunion 2013

We are in Houston, Texas at the DeVos Urban Leadership reunion with about 300 other graduates and their spouses. Stephanie graduated from the program in 2009 with 11 other urban youth workers from Kansas City. This program picks 12 leaders who work with youth in urban communities around the country for a 15 month training program, where they are equipped to be more effective in serving their youth.

Every 3 years DeVos has a reunion where graduates and their spouses are invited to rest and be encouraged by speakers like Dr. Perkins, who is an example to us all who have decided to work with youth and raise up leaders in under resourced communities. Dr. Perkins has been leading our morning devotions by breaking down the qualities of a leader in the urban context.

We have connected with old friends and have made new ones. This is a great program, and we are both honored to be here with such great people!
