Thank You from LDW 2008!

Leadership and Discipleship in the Wilderness 2008 was a grand success! Thirteen people journeyed together for six weeks in the Wyoming wilderness for the purpose of developing character, competence, and confidence that will allow students to be Christ-centered, transformational leaders throughout the world. (Click here for more information on LDW.)


All this could not have happened without you! Your prayers, financial support, and encouragement provided staff to instruct the course, finances for students to participate, safety during the course, perseverance to prepare well and finish strong, and a transformational experience for many students. Words cannot not say how much we appreciate you, but here they are anyway: Thank you!

Please stay tuned over the next few weeks as I collect and post stories from LDW 2008 participants. They learned so much and I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing about it!

Below is a slideshow highlighting our journey this summer. You can simply watch, flip through at your own pace (click pause, then use the arrows), or click the lower right-hand corner to see the pictures all at once. Enjoy!

And here are a couple video clips for your viewing pleasure.

(Not the best quality, but it will give you an idea of the location, and you can hear why it's called the Wind River Range!)

Students are learning how to glissade (a controlled slide) and self-arrest with their ice axes.
