Below are paper excerpts from some of our trip participants from this year's wilderness backpacking trip.
*CER’s annual 15-day backpacking trip serves as an opportunity for our students and interns to unplug from the responsibilities and distractions of daily life and experience the great outdoors. CER has been leading wilderness backpacking trips since the 1970’s.
"Trust. Dependence. Patience. Grace. Redemption. Communication. Time. Servanthood. Healing. Unguarded. Uprooted. Yoked. Foundation. Rest. Endurance. Hope. One day at a time. The Lord equipped me with these words, one a day, that reflected my heart posture and process for the day." - Madi
"When I reached the top [of the rock climb] all the pain and suffering was worth it. Not because I did it but because I realized how much I needed God and how willing God is to lend strength. It was beautiful because it solidified and dug my foundation deeper - finally understanding what being saved by grace meant." - JJ
"The Lord reassured me that He was not angry with me for being scared. He said, “Fear is something that the devil plants inside you and you have to decide if you are
going to water that seed or trust me to remove it.” His words [allowed] me to be patient with myself and my fear." -Natalee
