Voice of Wilderness

Voice of Wilderness Voice of Wilderness is a Christian backpacking ministry based out of Mountain Light Lodge in the San Juan Mountains. (Romans 1:20)

The primary goal of Voice of Wilderness is to communicate the reality of Jesus Christ and the practical application of the teachings found in the books of the Bible. In a complex society such as ours, man has virtually ignored this vital part of an educational process. The wilderness setting is used as a tool to relate Biblical principles to the everyday needs of the individual. God used the wilde

rness to deal with His people. Moses, Elijah, David, John the Baptist, and Jesus were all led into the wilderness. The solitude of the natural environment seemed to be the place where God could develop the characteristics that were needed to carry out a given task. Where life is basic, man is more likely to realize his need for dependence on his Creator. Here, an individual can see God's creation and understand more of His power. Free from day to day distractions, one can clearly examine the life Christ claimed to give. The wilderness is truly a voice that declares God's "invisible attributes, eternal power and divine nature."

Fireside Chat with Chet - up for discussion was (A) the size of fish he caught or (B) the size of cake he wanted. Might have been both, but you know whatever it was - the conversation was a GREAT one!

We are blessed to call him "ours"! Join us in wishing Chet a very happy birthday (month) as his true date was last week.

"The greatest privilege I have had is to share God’s Word in His majestic creation and witness the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to transform and restore lives."

One of our day hike locations is Opal Lake. Annabelle, Kopka and I enjoyed the hike yesterday. The faitly steep initial climb to a beautiful aspen forest where flatter terrain leads you to the beautiful mountain lake. The mountain air and sounds of the season were good for our souls!
