Why were you called to this ministry?

“From my very first experience with Christian guides at the trailhead of the Grand Teton in Summer 2005, I have sensed God stirring me to lead a ministry devoted to building His Kingdom through bringing His Church into His incredible creation to experience Him, be trained, and return to the "real world" better equipped to serve and lead. This calling has been affirmed over and over and the vision has clarified greatly in the last year.”
