JP Advocate Nomination

Question Title

A Word about Nominating

Thank you for your interest in being an advocate! You are essential to your nominee’s success in the Josiah Project, both in the selection process and as the project progresses. Your nominee will need your help in finding prayer and financial support and connecting with the powers that be in your local church, diocese, synod, presbytery, conference, or what ever your denomination calls it. Not everyone would be willing to invest their time and effort in helping an unrelated young person as you are choosing to do.

As you work your way through this form please understand that we value your insights as well as your time. We need explicit information in order to select the right participants for this project. Your candor is very important: to us at Rock the World, to your nominee, to the other participants in the Josiah Project, and to the present and future mission of the church. We will keep all information confidential except for questions 1 & 2.

Please submit this recommendation ASAP but no later than April 30th, unless you or your student received a deadline extension.

Currently, it is not possible to save your responses and return to finish the nomination form later. We suggest you copy the questions below, write your responses, and return to fill in all your answers when you are ready. When you are completely finished, be sure to press the "Done" button at the bottom. If you don't, all your responses will be lost.

If you have questions as you fill out this nomination, please email us at josiahproject@rocktheworld.org

Be sure your nominee visits www.rocktheworld.org/josiah and clicks the Student Apply Now button to apply.

Well over 80% of Josiah Project graduates from the last 20 years continue in positions of Christian leadership today. Thank you for your time and your willingness to share an extraordinary young Christian with the wider church.
