ANGLICAN LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE

“Thank you SO much for coordinating the ALI trip for Bishops. This was a great time to build bridges within the Anglican world and leadership. The fellowship, the teaching, and the coaching will go a long way to further Jesus' kingdom.” - The Most Rev. Foley Beach

 

“The ALI trip was amazing. I felt encouraged by the other guys and inspired by our time in the mountains. The coaching time was super insightful. I am grateful for the community, the challenge of the mountains, and the encouragement I received from the LORD.” - The Rev. Kris McDaniel

 

“This week in Colorado has done as much for the Kingdom as the GAFCON conference in Jerusalem. Thank you for the value of great adventure in the high country as it simplified life to the basic elements of loving each other and loving God.  I am deeply enriched by the gift ALI offered to me.”

- The Rt. Rev. Trevor Walters

 

“I found the week to be a time to deepen my relationship with God and better live out my call. I am also convinced that ALI is uniquely positioned to be used by God in a mighty way to bring about a renewal of servant leadership within the Anglican Church." - The Rev. Tripp Prince

 

“In the course of the week, the Lord increased my dependence on Him, recalibrated and renewed my heart, and set me free to press on with the upward call of Christ on my life. It is my expectation, and my hope and prayer, that ALI will be used by the Holy Spirit to help pioneer a new day for Anglican leadership in a Church and among Nations that are so desperately lacking passionate and Godly leaders.” - The Rt. Rev. TJ Johnston

 

“My time at the ALI Assistants Trip was really powerful and much-needed. I loved the opportunity to gather with seasoned leaders and glean wisdom [about] church leadership, family leadership, and overall life.” - The Rev. Dr. Jay Wright

 

“From start to finish this trip was outstanding – bathed in the Holy Spirit in the midst of God’s majesty! What a joy it was to have my calling reaffirmed and my leadership challenged to grow. I would recommend this trip for any leader in the church.” - The Rt. Rev. Dr. Eric Menees

 

"The ALI trip came at a perfect time in my ministry.   I felt my calling clarified during this week of high mountain adventure.  As far as I am concerned, this is the perfect learning environment for leaders!"

- The Rev. Alex Farmer

 

“My week on the ALI trip was a tremendous blessing. It provided me with a chance to connect with peers, connect with and learn from pastors farther ahead, provided a space for rest and reflection, and brought clarity about my identity in Christ, His love and His call on my life.” - The Rev. Peter Coelho

 

"The ALI retreat was tremendous. Re-engaging in my unique sense of call was exactly what I needed at a very deep heart level. The other pastors on the trip were amazing. From laughter and encouragement to peer coaching, I benefited greatly from the trip.” - The Rev. Jon Holland

 

“This ALI week helped clarify my call and give me the confidence to live with boldness over the next season of ministry. The ALI week also cultivated a greater sense of unity among the broader Anglican Communion.”  - The Rev. Billy Waters

 

“I experienced affirmation as a Christian and as a priest, as well as new clarity in my vocation - not to mention had a lot of fun! I have shared with my bishop the great experience I had on ALI.” - The Rev. Chris Schutte
