A WORD FROM YOUR TEAM LEADER

Tim Trezise

“Our team will learn from the trekking tour guides about the culture and how to interact and share with them as we journey through the remote foothills of the Himalayas.  We will trek into some of the most unreached corners of this world spiritually. It is a time of eternal investment and purpose.  It will take physical and spiritual preparation.  Warning: This will change you and the way you see the world! ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’”

Memorable Moments

  • “A memorable moment on the trip was when I shared about the passing of my mother and father, and how both they and I have the sure hope of eternal life in Jesus.”

    — Curtis M.

  • “One of the most memorable and meaningful moments of the trip was when we were on the top of the mountain and looked out at the massive valley filled with many villages. The sobering moment for me was when it was pointed out which Christians lived where. This was impactful because there were so few Christians who had persevered through persecution. It was a great way to show the intense need in the community.”

    — James S.

  • “One of the best moments was swimming in the glacier river after 5 days of trekking. We had just made it over the pass where we were rewarded with incredible views. The water was refreshing and rejuvenating.”

    — Ben S.

  • “This trip pushed my limits mentally, physically, and spiritually in a new place and culture. It was incredible to be surrounded by men from different walks of life who offered a range of perspectives. I flew there with strangers and returned with friends.”

    — Max B.
