SLD Ministry Connextions
A leadership development opportunity that seeks to provide transformational Christian leadership development for all leaders (officers, local officers, employees, friends of the Army, etc.). It focuses on the development of the individual leader and is currently composed of the following two tracks:

Personal Leader Development Track 

A series of 3 modules, developed by Leader Breakthru, that each focus on a specific area of personal leadership development. These modules are designed to build on each other and can be taken in immediate succession or over an extended period of time, as is most beneficial for the individual leader. Because the modules build on each other, they should be taken in the order below.
