40 Year Legacy
God and Jesus meet with us in the wilderness! They connect with us, we connect with Christ, and we connect with the indwelling Christ in each other. As a result our lives are forever changed. We want to celebrate God’s goodness to connect with us (!) and the beauty of connection with one-another. Celebrate with us some of the stories of connection over the past 40 years at SROM.
Steve McFarland: 80s
I was on the very first SROM trip when I was 13 years old. The biggest impact from that trip was having the leadership pour into us and engage with us. To get away and not have distractions combined with having Christian mentorship was extremely valuable. This was my first introduction to someone who was a Christian being purposeful in trying to foster a new believer. 40 years later I am still involved in discipleship and mentoring others. It’s something that I value, and I was introduced to this through Solid Rock.
Tracy Nichols: 90s
The very last day our students had a terrible, terrible day. They were leading themselves and got in very very late. My co-instructor, Alison, said, “We’re washing feet.” I had never done something like this, but I knew from her story and from working with her that her relationship with God was authentic. I trusted her. So, we had hot soup for the students, and we washed their feet. It was so transformative and so beautiful for the students. And so transformative and so beautiful for me to wash all these feet.
Jessie Cruickshank: 00s
What the people at SROM taught me was what Christian community could be– what a life of faith could look like, what disciple-making actually was, and what the Kingdom felt like. Once you experience that, you can’t go back.
Sam Strohkorb: 20s
SROM gives you the opportunity to connect with both God and people in the wilderness, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. Being disconnected from our digital world where we always have things vying for our attention– this is a time you get to intentionally spend to connect with God and connect with those on your course, and it will change your life. It changed mine.
