F.A.Q.
Have a question about LDC?
Our purpose is to provide teaching principles to inspire, encourage and equip youth leaders and teenagers in this generation for the long haul.
What is the LDC?
The Leadership Development Conference is a large event collaboratively organised by many churches and youth groups from the surrounding regions, creating a dynamic and impactful experience for all involved.
As we read the Gospels, we find a fascinating example of the leadership of Jesus, our supreme leader. Jesus led a group of young people, transforming their lives so they could later impact the lives of many others.
The LDC is a great opportunity to reflect on the leadership characteristics of Jesus that can help us build a youth ministry focused on developing disciple-makers.
Our Belief
We believe that as youth leaders build on their spiritual lives with lasting resources, they will begin to impact the lives of those they lead. So we all can be “rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” (Colossians 2:7).

Testimonies of the LDC
“I’ve been to the LDC 3 times now. They have all been super beneficial and helpful for many different reasons. It brought different perspectives and insights on different aspects of leadership. It was also extremely beneficial to meet fellow Christians with similar goals. Also, it allowed my church leaders to come together and help us be on the same page about what we want to see and need to do without our leadership”.
Jonah Jeitani – Grace Way
“Word of Life’s work and passion for youth ministry gives glory to God and serve as a tremendous inspiration and encouragement to me. The LDC event is something I look forward to every year, as it brings me great joy and encouragement. The message of urgency and the challenge to be faithful in proclaiming the gospel is clear during these events, offering all of us a vital wake-up call to prioritise reaching out to the unsaved.
It’s an ever-changing world in terms of culture and technological advancements among the youth, but the problem of sin remains the same, and the Good News of Jesus is constant and never-changing: It has the power to save! I am thankful for WOL and the LDC events for putting these in front of our minds and hearts, and allowing us to fellowship with and spur on other like-minded youth leaders.”
Carlos Tiongson – Elder and Youth Coordinator
