The Trail Journal: Stories & Spiritual Growth in the Wild

Wilderness Ministry & Faith Based Outdoor Education

What You’ll Find Here:

These articles explore wilderness ministry and how SROM uses outdoor adventures to change lives. You’ll read about how God has always used wild places to shape His people. Moses at the burning bush. Jesus in the desert. That same power is at work today.

We cover the biblical roots of wilderness ministry and share practical ways to connect with God on the trail through devotionals. You’ll read real stories of SROM participants who found their calling in the mountains. You can even earn college credit through wilderness courses.

At SROM, we don’t just take you camping. The wilderness becomes a place where faith gets real, friendships go deep, and leaders emerge. Whether you need spiritual renewal, want to grow as a leader, or crave a real encounter with God, these stories show what’s possible.
