Eleven students and 2 pastors made for an exciting summer! After the initial fear of creepy crawlies at church was delt with, we settled into a long summer of hard work and lots of fun! We ran 3 timed 5K's and 1 10K, it might not have been easy but no one back down. Rock climbing, airsoft, and many leadership initiatives gave us lots to think about and pull lessons from. Several people gave devotionals for the first time. We really learned to feed each other with what God taught us from His Word. Our main study was on leadership and mentoring. Everyone went home with the goal of seeking out a mentor and a mentee.	Early in the summer we went to Miyakonojo to build a house in the rain!
Most of us were challenged by the rock climbing.	We had the opportunity to minister in four national churches and two chuch plants.
Pastor Dean Graber and Pastor Lee Abuhl really made the summer a great time of learning for all of us.	We had a great group, everyone bonded and pulled together even when the going was tough.
Most of the students had opportunites to give their testimony when we traveled for weekend ministry.	The rock climbing and rappelling will definitly stand out as a hightlight for most of us!
