YOU CAN HELP US START AN OUTDOOR ADVENTURES MINISTRY IN PERU!

YOU CAN HELP US START AN OUTDOOR ADVENTURES MINISTRY IN PERU!

I have the privilege to partner with many incredible outdoor adventures ministries all over the world. This month we are hoping hundreds of like-minded friends will help us get behind Joca and his sand boarding ministry (called Inca Thakhi) that works with very poor young people in Peru. Inca Thakhi is dedicated to sharing the Gospel with young people through sand boarding. In order to celebrate our new WMI logo (which Joca designed) we are printing T-shirts and giving them to anyone who makes a donation to WMI on behalf of Inca Thakhi.

MOUNTAINEERING COTOPAXI NATIONAL PARK | WHY LIMITATIONS ARE GOOD

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attempt a 16,000’ foot peak in Cotopaxi National Park in Ecuador with about 20 youth leaders from all over Latin America.

You could stick a fork in me. I was baked.
