Living it up in the mountains while serving and growing in the Lord. It honestly doesnt get much better then that. Through this program I have had plenty of opportunities to be challenged and grow from and lots of opportunities to get out and explore in creation. From speaking on Sunday mornings, leading the youth group in worship, attending staff meetings, building rock steps down to the river, silence and solitude trips, reading a number of books together, dozens of guest speakers, community service projects, Sunday morning church setup and tear down, capstone projects, and so much more.
