SUMMER 2021 On Friday, March 19, eleven students traveled from their senior trip at Lost Valley Ranch to Journey Point Church at Central Park in East Denver where they attended orientation with Pastor Chris Phillips, a church planter in the area. On Saturday, they partnered with what will soon be the first Laotian church in all of Colorado to distribute food to people facing short-term or long-term food insecurity. Sunday morning, the group attended church at Storyline Fellowship in Arvada, Colorado with pastor J.T. English. After church, they traveled to Longmont, Colorado to prayer walk around the city in partnership with a future church plant. On Monday, they served in the Boulder, Colorado community and partnered with a group from Gainesville, Florida and local church leaders to meet physical and spiritual needs in the area. Tuesday began with discipleship training by J.T. English, and was followed by serving "Packs of Hope" to fill up over 50 backpacks with clothes and personal items for children entering the foster care system. On the final day of the journey, the group attended discipleship and evangelism training with Matt Horn, pastor of Calvary New City Church. Pastor Horn's church is on Colfax Street in East Denver; a street infamously nicknamed "The wickedest street in the west." He shared the first-hand story of a Syrian refugee who helped him clean up parts of Colfax Street and minister to vulnerable members of the Denver community. The 2021 Denver GME provided countless servant leadership opportunities, in-depth discipleship, partnerships and friendships that will last a lifetime, and the hands-on experience it takes to develop godly leaders who will impact their culture and change it.
