Journey Quest
Alright folks here is my next update. I'll start with where I left off my blog that I wrote over a year ago. I
was working at Journey Quest and was loving the time that I had with all
of these awesome people!

Group departure = sad day |
This group was a ton of fun. We had lots of fun adventures: Duckies, Rafting, Rock Climbing, Rappelling, and great food. An awesome part of this trip was we had many kids accept Christ into their hearts and a few more kids get baptized.

The rest of my summer was an absolute blast with several other extended trips. One of those trips I actually had the privilege of leading and organizing. This trip was with New Life Community Church from Gardner, Kansas. This group was a men's retreat and it included a day of whitewater rafting, Rock climbing and Rappelling.

One of the most awesome things about leading this group of men was that through all the adventurous stuff we did, it challenged each and every man. Someone may ask, but they're grown men. And my response would be that yes they are, but we are all human each with our own fears. Some may have been scared of heights and so climbing was challenging or they may have been afraid of water and so rafting was challenging. No matter what we did they were challenged, but the awesome thing is that we were able to be there to encourage them in that challenge and they were all able to overcome.
The rafting trip we took was a full day Royal Gorge from JQ to Pink house, it was an awesome time and the men were thrilled!!
