Lighthouse Church in Wanaka

To encourage team bonding, the staff for the Snowboarders DTS took a road trip down to Wanaka. We stayed at the Lighthouse Church and spent a lot of time fasting and praying for our students. We will be sending a team down every weekend on the school to help serve the Lighthouse staff as they reach out to their community on the mountain. They have planted a church in a place where people from all over the world come to for the winter season. They use this opportunity to build relationships with other snowboarders and skiiers by inviting them to free dinners at the house, Bible studies and small groups, and they have a church service on Sunday nights. If you want to know more about the ministry down there go to www.mammothlighthouse.com. Check it out!

Pit Stop

Winter Wonderland. It took us 6 hours because it was so snowy.

We had a blast in Wanaka, but we are so excited for the students to arrive and to begin this awesome adventure of discipling and helping them grow closer to Jesus Christ. One more week to go. We officially start on July 9th.
