2016PACKET

Mentoring the Next Generation of Leaders

Dear Leader,

I am filled with excitement that this packet has reached your hands!Greatamounts of prayer, planning, and counsel have gone into the opportunity in front ofyou!

One of the greatest joys I have as the Founder and Director of NextGenRGV is helping to develop and release young men and women into their destiny. Watching them face their fears of failure and becoming established in their God-given identity is very rewarding. It is truly an honor and privilege to see them thrive and overcomechallenges.

When I first started in ministry, I really didn’t have anyone expose me to different facets and orbits of ministry perspectives. Today, I am burdened for young men and women who havestepped into various ministry roles and need some type of exposure to great leadership models and lives. Due to the lack of finances, location, church structure, and time, most young leaders simply do not have the access to leadership insight.

This is why the TRIBEwas created. It is designed to give you access to other great leaders that are currently doing effective work for the Kingdom. The TRIBE offers youthe opportunity to develop your gifts while modeling godly integrity,leadership insight, and personal growth responsibilities. From having access to a team of seasoned ministry leaders, scheduledgatherings and resources, it all works towards the purpose of developing you and the call of God on yourlife.

It’s time for YOU to enter into a season of DESTINY TRAINING and this packet isthe first step in the right direction. Let us journey together in dedicating this journey to excellenceand transformation on all levels. It would be an honor to have you be a part of the TRIBE.This packet will give you more details for this uniqueopportunity.

Believing in you,

Abram Gomez

Founder andDirector of NextGenRGV & the TRIBE
