LEAD TEAM
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE REVIVE LEAD TEAM
Thank you for your interest in the Revive Lead Team.
The Lead Team is an opportunity for students ages 16-21 (must turn 16 by June 1st) to serve, grow and be discipled in Christ while at camp and on retreats.
Lead Team gets to serve on several wonderful Revive retreats and camps. Attending these retreat and camps along with the pre-retreats is required if you are selected to serve on Lead Team. (Limited exceptions will be made on an individual and emergency basis only.)
Lead Team members will now be asked to raise their own support through the help of their local churches. Each student will raise $2500 (we will provide sample emails that you can send out). A portion ($2000) of that will go toward paying for your registration to Revive camps and retreats and the other ($500) will return to you as an honorarium. More info in your “Lead Team Welcome Packet” when/if you are selected.

Hey everyone! My name is Drew Read (aka D-Money) and I’m a sophomore at Klein Cain high
school. I’ve grown up going to Lakewood Methodist Church in Houston, Tx. A few things that
you should know about me are that I love to be creative whether it’s through the things I’m good
at like drawing and writing, or the things that I could still work on like music. This will be my
first year on Lead Team and I’m so excited to begin my journey of working in youth ministry as
my goal is to be a youth director when I’m older. My favorite bible verse is Isaiah 40:8 I read this
verse after my first year coming to Revive, and it reminds me that God is the only thing that will
remain with us in our eternity, so we might as well get to know him now.
