Session 3 | Day 8
On June 24th, in the 2007th year of our Lord, the ardently determined students of Summit Ministries undertook the daunting tasks of scaling Pike's Peak and rafting the mighty Arkansas River. Both groups began their adventures at 6:00 am and returned by 2:00 this afternoon. Roughly 50 young men and women rose to the lofty height of 14,110 feet above sea level, atop the scenic and majestic Pike's Peak. A second group of about 100 went rafting down the Arkansas River through raging rapids. Both groups returned to the Summit Hotel with excitement and enthusiasm about the warm showers and long naps to follow the long days activities.
Summit has been a roller coaster for those who have attended the third session. Tonight we watched a video on the warlike and terrifying actions of Muslim extremists. The video covered the ideas of how history is beginning the process of repeating itself with the Radical Islamics following in the Anti–Semitic ideologies of Adolf Hitler.
For me, Summit has shed light on many of today's topics that were previously in the dark. I have learned about the Leftist theologies of University Professors and the atheistic ideas that they profess. I have been armed with the knowledge to defend my Christian faith in a world where Christianity is no longer looked upon kindly. Doc Noebel, Frank Beckwith, Mike Haley and countless others have demonstrated to us the means and ways to recognize and counter the Worldviews that are in conflict with our own God–centered Worldview.
As we look to the remainder of our time here in Manitou with the hippies, we are eager for more knowledge. We continue to pray and act with faith in Jesus Christ and grow in our faith with one another. In honor of our most noble Doc Noebel, peace freedom justice revolution!!!
