Nine students and four staff from the Ft. Wayne Crossing camped out at Stillwater Retreat Center this past week for two days of service and team-building. One of the challenges we faced was early on a crisp, beautiful morning, led by Jim Stoppenhagen who runs the retreat center. Challenge Goal: To help everyone make it safely across the bridge Keys to crossing the separating logs without falling off: 1. Face each other 2. Lock hands 3. Maintain eye contact at all times 4. Keep arms and back straight 5. Trust each other completely We accomplished our goal and learned a few lessons about life along the way. Life goal: To help everyone make it safely through life’s challenges   Keys to making it through life together: 1. Face each other = Challenge each other. Encourage each other. 2. Lock hands = I’m here with you. I’m not leaving. 3. Maintain eye-contact = Stay focused. Don’t get distracted. 4. Keep arms and back straight = Have integrity. Don’t get weak or give up. 5. Trust each other = Trust is a two-way street. Commit. Go all in. Nate Lowe Region 3 Principal Crossing Educational Center]]>
