The pictures above are from a mission's trip to South Africa. Zac is in the top picture, this is the first time I am able to show a picture of this student, where as before he was a part of the state system. I met Zac at a Youth Services Center or Detention facility where I'm the Chaplain at. I believe in meeting youth where they are at in their spiritual journey to allow Christ to transform their lives and become contributing members of society. Zac gave back to the community by pouring his life into children and youth of South Africa. He told his story of turning to relationships and substance abuse to fill the void in his life, but all he needed was Christ. We are fulfilling the call God has given us with Wilderness Experiential Ministry. Zac is just one story of God's redemptive spirit. Continue to pray for him and South Africa, both stories continue to be a spiritual journey that He cares about.

Totally random comment for you Gareth. This is (well use to be) Cindy Aronson from Sarles. I ran into Paula and we were discussing old friends from camp. Your name came up and she told me about what you were doing. How GREAT!! If you want to write back it's cynthiaskoda@yahoo.com otherwise we'll keep you and your church in our prayers. Take care.
