At the core of developing Daniel Leaders is Tentmakers leaders training, a 40-day training
and development experience sponsored by the W.R. and Floy Sauey Family Foundation.

The Daniel Leadership Institute: (for School Teachers, Coaches, & Youth Leaders)

The prophet Daniel was selected by King Nebuchadnezzar who provided him three years of training in preparation for leadership and service to his kingdom. Christian Educators Association International in partnership with Tentmakers is seeking "Modern-day Daniels" who will receive leadership training while serving at least three years as Daniel Leaders to help transform students lives with God's love and truth.

The training begins with the 40-day Daniel Leadership Institute, briefly summarized below:

Who:
For School Teachers, Coaches, & Youth Leaders

What:
A purposeful, 40-day personal development and training process to grow in the knowledge, disciplines, skills and attitudes of a "Modern-day Daniel." The 40-day training is followed by three years of service as a Daniel Leader with continuing study, application, coaching and reflection.

Why:
To help transform lives of young people with God's love and truth by serving as Daniel Leaders who strive to mobilize, equip and inspire Christian leaders to grow as disciples of Jesus. These leaders will bring His spirit into their classrooms and their relationships with students, parents, and the community.

The 40-day experience is held at Wilderness North Retreat, Training and Conference Center in the Lake Superior National Forest in NE Minnesota, approximately 50 miles north of Duluth. (WILDN.org)

  • Immersion in a community of learning with 20 participants plus instructors, coaches and mentors;
