Catalyst West: A Convergence of Next Generation Leaders
This week marks the annual Catalyst West gathering in Irvine, California. One of sparkhouse’s product developers, Bethany Stolle, ventured to the Golden State for the youth-oriented event, which began on Wednesday. Catalyst provides opportunities for entrepreneurs, gifted communicators, youth leaders, and youth enthusiasts to come together and join forces for three days of passionate discussion and worship. As their site states, “Catalyst wants to connect you to others, and watch projects, initiatives, and ideas happen.” What a great way for collaboration and imagination to fuse!
In the past, the Catalyst main stage has been known to create some truly stimulating moments for both attendees and presenters. Musicians, leadership experts, and fringe thinkers lead discussions on community and the Spirit of God. We were excited to hear that Eugene Cho, one of the key speakers at Catalyst West this year, mentioned us on stage yesterday! Eugene is the co-founder and executive director of One Day’s Wages, an international grassroots movement with the vision of inspiring people around the world to simply donate one day’s wages to the cause of ending extreme global poverty. ODW and ReNew: The Green VBS are working together with Charity:Water, bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
Does this sound like an intriguing event? To learn more, follow Bethany on Twitter (@bethanystolle) on her adventure at Catalyst West (#catwest) or stay connected to the event itself by joining the Facebook page CATALYST.
