Teen Pathfinders Gather for Annual Convention


At Twin Rocks Friends Camp in Rockaway Beach, Ore., late January brought a rare weekend of sunshine, a fitting welcome for the bright smiles of around 40 Oregon Pathfinder teens and their adult ministry partners. The group gathered on the coast to welcome a new cohort of young leaders, and to continue the decades-long tradition of mentoring in ministry though the Teen Leadership Training program, or “TLT” for short.

The 2023 Oregon Pathfinder TLT Convention was held January 27-29 with about 75 teens and staff present. A dozen Master TLTs, as the program graduates are called, attended the convention and shared stories and encouragement with the new initiates. TLTs typically gather twice a year, but due to pandemic disruptions, this was the first solo convention since January 2020, and energy was high. Read more...
