History of Proságo
The idea of founding
an adventure leadership program
came
as a result of Michael Bryant, Steve Archibald and Bruce Dunning
dreaming about how to use adventure to teach leadership to young adults.
The
program launched as LDP (Leadership Development
Program in 1994 with four participants (two men and two women)
and was designed as a 12-month program but it eventually evolved into a
10-month program for 12 participants. In 2009, the program transitioned from its previous name of LDP to
Proságo. Our desire is to build on the legacy of our LDP past as we look forward to a future as
Proságo
.
Proságo (LDP)
has
purposefully chosen to maintain an intimate training atmosphere by
limiting the numbers to a maximum of 12 people. It was created as a
win-win venture to significantly impact emerging Christian leaders
while maximizing the resources of Medeba.

Over the years
Proságo (LDP)
has
developed
an international flavor as participants have come from all around the
world including Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Germany,
Colombia, the Netherlands, the United States and Provinces all across
Canada. Another unique feature of the program has been the consistent
involvement of married couples over the years. Having a diverse
representation of nationalities, ethnic backgrounds and experiences has added to the richness of the
Proságo
experience.

Michael Bryant served as the Director of
LDP
from its inception in 1993 until 2008, assisted by Bruce Dunning and other Medeba staff members. Michael's skills, dedication, adventurousness and fun loving personality gave tremendous leadership to the program and helped lay a strong foundation. In 2008 Jodie Langemann, a graduate of the program from 1997 - 1998, joined the
Proságo
staff team. With a history of amazing leadership
we look forward to many
more years of impacting young
Christian leaders by using the tools of adventure and community. |
