Recently during the week proceeding resurrection weekend, after our local church performed a play,  one of MOA’s former participants made this comment to me:  “The Colorado trip was the best thing I’ve ever gotten to do in my life.”   You see this young man was able to go on the first “pursuit of the King” trip.  The impact of this trip we will never really know, each person it effects differently.  What we do know is that it is one of the most powerful tools I know of.  There is something about the mountains that makes one spirit come alive.  No matter who you are or where you’ve come from it will impact you.  I have several ideas why this is but I wont go into all that.  What I do know is that when these young people are removed from the hellholes they call home and are brought into an environment away from their yuck, their spirits are able to awaken to the glorious beauty and majesty that surrounds them.  It is a place that man has not destroyed. A place where they can let down and allow the presence and peace of God to fill their hearts and minds with his never ending love.
