Summer Season

The WILD Retreat summer season is coming to a close. We had a great summer. The Salt Lake Area retreat was a success despite the occasional rain. It was an amazing weekend filled with extraordinary feats of courage, persistence and discovery. Even playing some crazy games in the lodge while God showered the earth with rain resulted in new friendships, laughs and gave us rest before we experienced a deep worship time around the fire.
I will remember you women always and hope we keep in touch occassionally to know what you are up to.
I got to go to Peoria , IL for a retreat in July. It was a blast! Literally. We shot shot guns, rifles, pistols and even an AK-47. Wow. Admist all the action: ATV's water polo, ulitmate frisbee women met Christ in new ways; some for the 1st time and some allowed him to work in their life in a new way. The women there are an amazing community and it was a blessing to spend the weekend with them.
Lastly, in Aug. it was back up to Big Canyon for the SMCC WILD Retreat. Many new women came, connected and made new friends. Old fears were conquered and dreams were reclaimed. We added a luau to saturday nights festivities and all I can say is: ALOHA! Thanks to all the gals for being good sports. In the end the campfire worship and committment time allowed women to turn their life over to God and encouraged them to embark on a new journey with Him at the helm.
Thanks to Sheri and Karen and Tracy for their dedication and committment to WILD Quest.
And thanks to all the team leaders, worship leaders and especially the women for allowing God into their hearts.

Spring

Summer retreat season is gearing up. God is active with WILD Quest so far this year and is moving our ministry along at his pace. It is exciting to be adding an additional WILD Retreat June 12 - 14. It is open to Salt Lake area women and should be a great time. Check out the camp schedule for more information.
We need lots of prayer though as we prepare for the camps, and for the women who God wants there.
Happy Easter to you all.

Soul Quest

We had a wonderful soul filled time at Soul Quest. God gave us fresh snow for the weekend - it was beautiful. There were many opportunities to spend time in the word, in prayer and listening to God. Teaching sessions included information about contemplative prayer, meditation, silence and solitude. We also got introduced to many different ways to meditate and journal. Several women enjoyed the meditation room, and others enjoyed the igloo. All enjoyed watching a movie and eating truffles and chocolate.
I'm so encouraged by the weekend that a fall Soul Quest is in the works already...
Thanks to those who came, to Sheri and Karen for their dedication and service and of course to Big Canyon Christian Adventures and Retreat (it just keeps getting better).
