Soldier's Mountian Conqured!

On a more serious note, the youth group conqured Soldier's Mountian today. The mountian is an intense, steep, and very rocky mountian on camp. The camp is located at about 9,000 feet and the top of Solider's Mountian is over 10,000 feet. For the first time since we starting coming to coming to Colorado Chellenge, we decided to hike the mountian together and not let the youth spread out while hiking. This allowed us to build community within the group and let the youth that were better hikers encourage those that were not the best hikers. It was a great experience and I must be honest in saying that the 6 times I have hiked Soldier's Mountain that this was by far the easiest hike up Soldier's for me. The idea of hiking the mountian together stemmed from a sermon Pastor George taught on a few weeks ago. How much easier and more rewarding is things when we set together and trust in God? This was definately evident in todays hike. At the top of the mountian is one of the most amazing views I and many of the youth have ever seen. Also at the top of the mountian is an old rugged cross over looking camp. It was an amazing experienc for myself and the rest of the group.

In Christ,
