Rock Staff Retreat 2013


We were really suffering for the Lord this past week in Colorful Colorado.

The Rock Staff & (most of our) Associate Staff traveled over 800 miles out to Estes Park, Colorado for our annual Staff Retreat. We reconnected, prayed and dreamed through our vision and strategy for bringing the Gospel to Mizzou, planned through our first few weeks in the Fall, prayed some more and were counseled by a pastor friend through connection as a staff team.


And what better way to team build than to go white water rafting? We ventured north to Ft. Collins and were taken on an 8-mile run by one of our Colorado-native students (who doubles as a raft guide), Casey, on the Poudre River. After five of us ended up swimming in class 3 and 4 rapids at any given point, we survived and have a story to share as a team.

Mostly importantly, we sought the Lord and he met us in a big way in Colorado. I've come back refreshed, focused and beginning the final weeks of summer dedicated to seeking the Lord.

Join me in praying for provision in raising $245 in regular monthly gifts and in preparation for the Fall.

God bless,
Chris
