대학을 졸업 후 얼마 지나지 않아 26 세도 되지 않았을 때, 폴 슬레이쿠는 두 가지 중요한 결정을 내렸습니다. 바로 소박한 집을 구입하고 인근에 있는 미네소타주 화이트 베어 레이크의 제일장로교회에 등록한 것입니다.

그리고 채 2년이 안 되어 청빙 위원회 위원 중 한 명이 그에게 다가와 말했습니다. "앞으로 3년 동안 섬길 새로운 사역 장로를 찾고 있는데, 혹시 해 볼 생각 있나요?" 폴은 매우 중요한 첫 번째 질문을 던졌습니다. "장로가 되려면 나이가 많아야 하지 않나요?"

Just a couple of years out of college and not yet 26 years old, Paul Slaikeu made two very important decisions — he bought a modest house and he joined a nearby church, First Presbyterian Church in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

Less than two years later a nominating committee member approached him and said, “We’re looking for new ruling elders for the next three years, would you consider that?” Paul asked the all-important first question, “Don’t I need to be older to be an elder?”

Apenas un par de años después de salir de la universidad y sin haber cumplido aún los 26, Paul Slaikeu tomó dos decisiones muy importantes: compró una modesta casa y se unió a una iglesia cercana, la Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana de White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

Menos de dos años después, un integrante del comité de nombramientos se le acercó y le dijo: ""Estamos buscando personas nuevas que se ordenen como ancianas gobernantes para los próximos tres años, ¿lo considerarías?" Paul hizo la importantísima primera pregunta: "¿No necesito ser mayor para ser una persona anciana?"

LOUISVILLE – One van, five days. That’s all it took to change the worldview of six young people. That, plus three committed adult leaders, a whole lot of faith and one big DREAAM. DREAAM, an acronym for Driven to Reach Excellence and Academic Achievement for Males, is a program designed to reach, teach and invest in African American boys at risk and to walk alongside them and their families beginning at the early age of 3 until they reach the age of 24.
