For the past month, I've been living, working and worshipping in Sequoia National Park through a program called A Christian Ministry in the National Parks (www.acmnp.org). This picture shows me with some members of our ministry team after our first worship service together.
Basically, all of us work secular day jobs in the park (mine is sort of high altitude fast food), and we do some ministry stuff in our off hours, primarily in the form of leading worship on Sundays for campers/co-workers.
Should anyone who reads this blog want to visit a service, they're at 10 a.m. in the ampitheaters in both Grant Grove and Lodgepole (I'll be at one or the other depending on the week...you can e-mail me to find out on any given week).
More updates to come.

Hey
So this is kind of weird because I don't know you but I am looking at working with ACMNP this summer at Sequoia-Kings Canyon. I'm trying to figure out whether this is something that I want to do or not. I've heard some good things and some bad things about the ACMNP. So I was wondering if you could give me some info on what it looks like out there. Is there a good amount of free-time to explore the Park? What is the pay like? (private question, I know, but what I am most curious about is the fact that they automatically take money out for lodging and food. Does this make the final sum pretty small?) Are you enjoying it? Is it worth three months of summer to come out there from Michigan? Anyways, let me know if you can. My email is charlie.walter@hope.edu Thanks so much. God bless.
cheers.
charlie
