According to Peak 7's website, "Peak7 Adventures Ascent is a 5-day backcountry wilderness trip aimed at providing both an outdoor experience and spiritual growth." A typical trip involves hiking, camping (you carry everything including your tent in your pack), summitting a peak, alone time with God, rappelling, and meals. It's a great opportunity for youth and gives the staff more time to work with individuals and get to know them with the hopes of sharing the gospel with them.
Jon is really excited to begin the season! Backpacking is something Jon really loves! While he is in charge of rafting season, his coworker Austin Dannen is in charge of ascent season. Throughout the summer Jon will spend a couple of weeks guiding trips. This involves leaving Monday morning and arriving home Friday evening/night. However, Jon is still in charge of rock climbing trips which occur throughout ascent season.
Please keep us in your prayers throughout the summer. For Jon, please pray for safety and a chance to make a difference in peoples' lives. For Michelle, please pray for strength as she endures those times when Jon is out on trips and unable to communicate until the week's end.
