Multiply 2024 talks: IMPRINT

Wole Agbaje and Jonathan Beecham of IMPRINT Church, London, reflect on the story of David and Samuel, and the model it presents us for nurturing young leaders.

By Wole Agbaje and Jonathan BeechamJuly 2024

Wole Agbaje, leader of IMPRINT Church, London, and Jonathan Beecham, IMPRINT’s project manager, took to the stage of Multiply 2024 in Leeds to share what they have learnt in identifying and developing young leaders.

Hear how Wole noticed a call on the life and skills of Jonathan in the context of IMPRINT, and how their experience parallels a model consistent with David’s story, in which Samuel identified the call on David’s life and nurtured him into a position of leadership.

To learn more about IMPRINT, why not read about their new youth-focused story at St Clement’s.
