Winter Fun
As the snow piled up in the mountains we met at the park-n-ride in Golden, Colorado. Six students and two leaders set out with great expectations of two days in a cabin in the mountains. We spent the evenings discussing the topic of “Disappointment with God”, stemming from the book by Phillip Yancey, and spent the days skiing and boarding at the Keystone Resort. It was a great time of fellowship and being sharpened.



One highlight of the trip was from a student by the name of Caleb. Caleb has been a regular since our inception. This trip especially impacted him for two reasons. The first being that he literally impacted the slopes after launching off a jump sideways and broke his nose upon landing. The second is that when he got back he told me that through our discussions he decided he needed to re-evaluate his relationship with God and some misconceptions he had previously held. Caleb is a very intellectual Christian and I sense that God is now working on his heart.

Prayer post
We are very excited to have a new staff member, Shayla Jaquot, coming on in March. You can read her blog via a link from ruggedministries.org. This is a huge addition as we have been in need of a female staff member to focus on the girls that are a part of Rugged.
Please pray for focus and stamina as things are getting a little stressful for me trying to work two jobs. Also for continued financial and prayer support to come in.
