Spiritual Warfare

RMH 3 is going great so far. We have however been under an immense amount of spiritual warfare. I don't know exactly what God is doing, but I know that the enemy is scared of what is going on here. Praise God for that, because that means that we're doing something right. So far this week we have seen students get mad at each other and we have seen the reconciliation that comes after that. We have also seen one cadet repent of four years worth of mistakes to the people who she hurt by those mistakes. God is definitely working in the lives of the students this week.

Please join me in standing in the gap for these students as they finish up their trek. I am waiting anxiously to hear the stories that come from trek about how God spoke into the lives of these men and women.

RMH 2 - Couldn't have gone better

I think that this session went just about as well as any RMH session I have seen since I've been at Spring Canyon. The group bonded very well, and I believe that some life long friendships were formed. Praise be to God for what he did in the lives of the cadets and mids that came.

This session we were blessed with a new problem. We had too many students for the mountain we were climbing. Due to the fact that Mt. Yale is part of the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area the U.S. Forest Service regulates that groups are limited to 15 people. Our trek this week was 21. So for the first time since I've been here we had to run a split trek. Thank you to Louie Lindberg for agreenig to come along side Bryan Burt and Jim Marsh to help as instructor for the week. So we split the group into two different groups. This was an added challenge because we had to find a second set of basecamps so that we wouldn't be breaking Forest Service rules. God was good, and everything worked out great. It also worked out that the two groups passed each other on the trail just long enough to take a group photo.

RMH 3 is now underway and is our largest session of the summer (as of right now) at 18. This week we will be hiking Mt. Shavano, so we will not have to worry about group size restrictions like we did on Yale. Please pray for the group that God speaks to each and every cadet.

RMH 1 was a success

Here is the group photo from RMH 1. It was a great group and everything went very well. CPT Scott Carow and MAJ Morgan Reese came out from West Point to be the instructors for the week. They did an awesome job. Thank you to both of you for taking the time to come out and invest into the lives of these 10 young men and women.

I haven't checked the records but this is the first session in a while that I can think of that has had representation from all four service academies. This is also one of our smallest sessions of the year with 10 students.

This week they summited Mt. Columbia of Colorado's Collegiate Peaks. It was a great trip and they had great weather on the peak (a little chilly on the ascent though). Thank you to all of you who came and participated in this week.

RMH 2 is now underway. We have a total of 16 people here this week. Due to the large number we are going to have to split the group and run two different treks. This is the first time that I've had to do this since I've been here. Please pray that everything goes smoothly.
