How to prepare for LIFT. What will LIFT prepare you for?

Hi!

Here is another quick update on LIFT 46, as well as some thoughts.  
LIFT is busy with many things, I promise.  Now, there are pictures and videos below that focus on the adventures, which make for very nice photos and memories, but... 

...the heart of LIFT extends beyond the outdoors.  Perhaps the adventures reflect growth in other areas of life...

So, a few images here, but KEEP READING!

How can YOU prepare for LIFT 47? 
I asked LIFT 46 students, and here are some responses:
  • "Pray that God would teach you, grow you and humble you in ways you wouldn't expect."
  • "Start memorizing."  (for now, focus on Matthew 5 & 6)
  • "...Continue to stay present in the day to day right now."
  • "Train with distance running."
  • "...Write out what you believe and why you believe it."
What will LIFT prepare YOU for?
Now, here is what is happening in LIFT 46, and what some students are considering for after LIFT.
This last picture is Lida.  She was nervous to hike terrain so steep that it requires special tools like an ice axe, but she knew she could do it.  And she did!

Lida is considering going to northern Africa next year as a missionary.  She will join several friends there on a project planned specifically for LIFT alumni.  This plan is exciting, and makes her nervous, but she knows she can do it.  Some of the same people that helped her up an icy mountainside will be there in northern Africa, and they will lift one another to do greater things.

What will LIFT prepare you for?  
I hope it prepares you to do greater things because of your love for Christ, and for the kingdom of God.  Be a light wherever you go; that will be your mission.
