Spiritual emphasis
Devotions, messages and music are a combination of our staff, guest speakers, school sponsors and students. We desire to have sharing times and have found that some of the best come from the schools and students gathering corporately and informally around campfires, pianos, guitars and other items and locations. Hallways have been places of worship and repentance. Sharing takes place on ski lifts and sidewalks. We have seen students share their faith to rafting guides, ski instructors and other tourists. What a great ministry God has given us and it often starts with the incredible testimony of the students and ends many times after they go home and our vendors ask "What is so different with your kids?!'
