The Lord has been using the wilderness for thousands of years as a place of accelerated growth and mentoring. Leaders are equipped and transition from where they are to where God is calling them. In this time of refining preparation, there are traits and experiences that need to be instilled in us before we can lead well.
Many Biblical leaders spent formative time in the wilderness, resulting in a greater understanding of their Identity, Mission, and Source. Begin your journey August 17th - 27th 2023 on a ten-day trip in the wilds of "The Winds Wilderness Area".
