For those wanting to know why its been quiet for the past few months – Here you go! The Last Well has been gearing up for some exciting news and trips for 2009.
As of January 2009 The Last Well is an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit. A special thanks to those who made this happen.
February 26 – March 1, 2009 The Last Well will be taking a team to do a Winter Summit of Mt. Washington, NH. This time the team is made up of new and veteran members of the Mt. Elbrus expedition. For being a rather short mountain at just 6,288ft, Mt Washington is home to some of the world’s most extreme weather. During winter months it is not atypical to see temperatures in the -20 degree farenheit range with wind chill. It is also noted that Mt Washington holds the worlds fastest recorded wind gust at 261mph. Bundle up team! We’ll pray God keeps you warm and safe!
In April 2009 The Last Well be doing another stateside climb. We’ll be traveling to California’s Inyo National Forest to attempt to summit Mt. Whitney – the Highest peak in the lower 48 United States. Mt. Whitney is 14,505ft and is positioned in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. An interesting fact is Mt. Whitney, the highest point, is only 2 hours away from the lowest point in the United States – Badwater (Death Valley), CA. Pray for their safety – that’s bear country!
The most exciting news to announce is the partnership of Global Impact, the world missions arm of Frontline, and The Last Well. In June of this year two teams totaling 26 members will be traveling to Africa for two weeks. Week one will be spent with Manna doing outreach work in Arusha, Tanzania. Week two the teams will attempt a summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro – the Highest point in Africa and one of the fabled Seven Summits. This is an amazing oppurtunity for all organizations involved and a chance to continue sharing our faith while pursuing our passions.
Please check back for more information as the details for each one of these trips develop.
