To ponder:

1. There is a biblical precedent that the wilderness has always been a special place where God has formed and shaped catalytic mission leaders, young and old.
2. People function best on teams, and outdoor adventures are uniquely effective in forming community and team.
3. We learn best through experience
4. Think of the stories you and your group will tell for weeks if not months and years after the experience. Remembrance is a common theme in the Old and New Testaments.
