LEAD TEAM

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE REVIVE LEAD TEAM

Thank you for your interest in the Revive Lead Team.

The Lead Team is an opportunity for students aged 16-21 (who must have turned 16 by June 1st) to serve, grow, and be discipled in Christ while at camp and on retreats.

Lead Team has the opportunity to serve on several wonderful Revive retreats and camps. Attending these retreats and camps, along with the pre-retreats, is required if you are selected to serve on Lead Team. (Limited exceptions will be made on an individual and emergency basis only.)

Lead Team members will now be asked to raise their own support through the help of their local churches. Each student will raise $2500 (we will provide sample emails that you can send out). A portion ($2000) of that will go toward paying for your registration to Revive camps and retreats, and the other ($500) will return to you as an honorarium. More info in your “Lead Team Welcome Packet” when/if you are selected.

Will Gregory

About Will

Hi! My name is Will Gregory, and I attend DBU as a Biblical Studies major. Me along with Jo are your 2026 interns. I love Golf, fishing, and anything that has to do with sports. I can’t wait to see how God moves and leads us in this next camp season. My favorite verse is Mathew 6:33” seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you,” meaning keep your eyes on the Lord, and everything will work out.

I love the Lord, my cats and fish, my family and friends, Texas Roadhouse rolls, and coffee. This is my fourth year on Lead Team and first year as an Intern! I’m so excited to see what the Lord has in store for Revive this camp season. A verse that has been on my heart recently is Mark 10:45

About Ava

Hey friends! My name is Ava and I’m a senior in high school from San Antonio, where I grew up attending Coker GMC. This is my third year on Lead Team but first year as Chaplain, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead! Some fun facts about me—I’m a swimmer and water polo player, and I love to travel. One of my favorite verses is Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” I can’t wait to see all that God will do through Revive this camp season and to grow alongside everyone here!
