Carson, Stacy, and myself (Doug) lead up our first PRIVATE swamp hike over the weekend, and it was a big hit! We were blessed to outfit 20 men (including ourselves) from one of our favorite churches - Calvary Church of Clearwater - for this unique adventure to one of the rarest terrains in the world. God blessed us immensely in several ways (which we will share more about in upcoming posts). One of those blessings was the fact that on this trip Carson was the pilot, Stacy was the co-pilot, and I was the "flight instructor" which is part of our "passing of the torch" "building the plane as we fly it" 2-year plan. Carson & Stacy did a fantastic job! I couldn't be more pleased. (And this trip showed that for a 55 year old guy that God is reviving I still have many years of involvement remaining in this ministry in a variety of capacities as God allows... so for all our old school GTD'ers I'm not leaving... just passing on some key positions to the next generation of leaders as God expands GTD).
Special thanks to Kirsten (our Volunteer Coordinator), Andrew (our Equipment & Asset Coordinator), Laurie (our Missions & Prosperity Director), & Traci (our s'mores maker!) for all their help and hard work prepping for this event!! We could not have done it without you!!
Aaaaaaaaand, of course, a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our supporters, encouragers, & pray'ers for all that you do to help us to do what we do! We love you!!
