The last few months there has been a lot of change. God is doing some amazing work in my life. In January, a pastor friend of mine from Washington State, gave me the opportunity to lead a snow camp in Idaho. We were also able to stir the vision for a snowboard camp next winter for refugees. This is going to be an amazing time: we will bring together refugees from Burma (the Karen people) and other cultures to teach them this wonderful sport while fostering community in their lives and showing them the magnificence of God. I also had the privilege of leading a team building day with his staff. God is blessing me with opportunities to share some of my story. He's using my story to encourage greater transparency in peoples' lives! Which leads to greater intimacy with God. This is so humbling...so powerful. God is good.
The internship with Sojourn as been very stretching, while finishing up my thesis in adventure education. My thesis focuses on what technology is doing to adolescents today and how it can impede them developing healthy community. Latest studies show students are spending over ten hours and forty five minutes a day with technology. My heart is broken for this generation. I want to meet them where they are. I want to use adventure education as a bridge to serve public schools. I am dreaming about helping school’s build healthy community through providing adventures for the students...To be present in public schools with tools that can shape student’s future and show them the magnificence of God while allowing them to see how great they can be is what I am dreaming about...
Peace,
