Thinking about community today! Part of being Encircled is considering who you want to come around you to commit to your vision. Maybe it’s your mentor, maybe it’s someone from your faith community, maybe it’s your small group leader.
It can be tough to naturally invite people into our lives.... With Encircled, take the time to think about who those people might be!

Encircled Summer 2021 Update!
We are excited about two of our new partnerships!
One takes place on the Lakota Indian Reservation of Pine Ridge through their Pine Ridge Reconciliation Center (PRRC). PRRC supports and deeply cares for Native Youth in a challenging environment. This spring, we trained 4 new Coaches for PRRC to use Encircled as a tool to bring hope.
The other takes place in a Twin Cities suburb, where a men’s Bible study that decided they wanted a “Rites of Passage” for their kids as they transition from adolescence to adulthood. Encircled will help their kids to have sustained faith and a circle of friends, family, and mentors.
Lastly, coming fall of 2021, Encircled will launch our youth group curriculum, The Group Journey, to encircle more students than ever!
Would you consider a financial gift to help us launch our Encircled Group Journey? With $15,000 we can impact thousands of youth over the years to come.

What does it mean to be Encircled?
If you’ve been Encircled, you know that every student has the opportunity to come together with people they choose to surround them. These might be friends, family, or mentors from your life, and often from your faith community!
These people commit to encouraging you in your long-term faith journey.
Be Encircled today! Explore Your Giftedness!

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.
If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.”
- Romans 12:6-8
One part of the Encircled method is getting to know more about the gifts that you have been given through God’s grace. And when we say giftedness we mean everything from serving to leading and singing to swimming.
At Encircled we are Exploring Giftedness!

Can you believe it? The Birkie is just two days away! Today we bring you our final skier introductions— meet Ben and Steve:
“Encircled is helping students feel known and loved by God and their circles of support. Encircled also helps students better know how they are gifted to do cool things in the world. When students have a Circle of Support around them helping them live out this Giftedness, this gives them hope, sustained faith and confidence. I believe this creates more intentional relationships and a more meaningful life!”
⁃Ben
“I have a passion for helping young people grow in their faith and I know that they need a team of people surrounding them as they mature. I am delighted to contribute to the work of supporting young adults in finding their unique way of honoring God with their lives.”

It’s Friday! Today we have a couple more skiers to introduce: Dan and Brian will #Ski4You in next Thursday’s Birkebeiner. Swipe to read about their Birkie experience!
“Love the mission! Glad to help make the encircled process available to more youth. Kids need many people in their lives to encourage and support them and help point them toward a positive future.” - Brian
“The world is messy, lonely, and difficult. Without caring and invested people in the lives of young adults, there is a huge likelihood that these young people will fall through the cracks of society. Encircled keeps them from falling through the cracks and enables them to not only succeed in life but become a contributing member of their community.” - Dan
Be sure to check out our corporate donors as well: JP Willman in Minnesota, and Strong Tower in Colorado.

“Encircled is equipping students, and faith communities to do the most essential work of encircling students with a group of chosen trusted adults to help, and equip the next generation as they discover their giftedness and live it out as a part of God’s story. “ - John
“As a parent of a teenager and two young adults, I see the importance of bringing people in their lives and surrounding them with support and allowing them to grow and I see Encircled creating that same support system.

“Encircled identifies for the students the gifts that they have and helps them understand what those gifts will mean for them as they move forward in their faith journey. Beyond that, Encircled allows them to share those gifts with those who surround them to have encouragement and guidance as they move forward.”
⁃Encircled Parent
It’s not just about knowing your giftedness, but figuring out how you can celebrate it with the world around you.
Join Encircled and bring your circle together to speak into your giftedness as you look into the future.
#EncircledOfficial #YourCircle #MyCircle #Encircled #ExploreYourGiftedness #Guidance #Mentor #Mentorship #Encouragement #Wednesday #BeWhoYouAre
Encircled is a method of learning how God can work through you and your gifts!
Although you may be surrounded by supportive friends, family, and faith community now, these people are likely to shift as you grow and go out into the world. Encircled encourages students to surround themselves with people who want to commit to supporting them in living out their giftedness.
Our method takes intentional time to put 16-18 year olds in the drivers seat of exploring their gifts and developing a circle of support. The three meeting process allows students to meet with a coach and create a plan for their long-term faith journey.
