NIKO

The NIKO is part of a worldwide activity run by KKI (King's Kids International). It is an outdoors experience to challenge young people and youth leaders into a deeper relationship with God while developing their leadership potential and preparing them for cross culture missions.

NIKO is a Greek word pronounced nee-ko. It means to subdue, conquer, overcome, prevail, and get the victory.

The NIKO lets you learn in the classroom of life by doing instead of only listening. This hands-on team experience teaches you to grow in interdependency. The lessons experienced during the NIKO will help you understand more about yourself and the gifts God has given you. You will begin to learn what motivates you and about your unique leadership style. A high priority is placed on teamwork and perseverance. You will be challenged to use your initiative, creativity, compassion, responsibility, and confidence through serving others. At the same time you will learn more about the others in your team, their unique gifts, leadership style, strengths and weakness, which will empower and prepare you for the outreach phase of DTS.

The NIKO will challenge you to discover your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional strengths and weaknesses. Your relationship with God and others will be tested and/or proven through this experience and its physical challenges. You will learn to confront issues of leadership and personal growth. You will be required to face and overcome many obstacles that will help you when you encounter future life decisions.
