History of Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes

In response to the turbulent decade of the 1960s, with the lack of righteous leadership in the nation and many churches, the elders at the Corder Road Church of Christ in Warner Robins, Ga. asked their minister, Jack Zorn, to begin training their eight young men to be leaders in the church and community.  As few tools were available, in 1968, he began to write and develop methods to motivate and train these young men. 

Within only six months, each one of the eight boys gave a speech at the local church.  Soon, they were invited to other congregations, civic clubs, and even to speak before then-Governor Jimmy Carter. 

Other congregations asked Zorn to share with them his motivation and training materials.  Today, the congregation at Warner Robins still uses this proven tool.
