New Bro Joins the Team

Brad Carlson has joined the team! He is from Roseville, California, and is a boss on the slopes. He has a big heart for ministry and snowboarding just like the rest of us. He felt lead to enter snowboarding ministry, got in contact with Snowboarders for Christ in Tahoe, and they connected him to us. Brad will be living with us in Truckee as a fifth teammate spreading the good news and fighting for the glory of God. This decision took intense prayer in Chicago and in California, and we are very excited God has extended our team to five.

Keep checking the blog! Video bios are soon to come!

T4 was in the school paper


We had the blessing of being in the school paper this past week. We were interviewed and gave a summary of what our mission in Tahoe will be. This allowed us to get the word out around campus to the student body mass. One thing that is really important to us as students is to have the support of our peers. This was a huge help.

The pieces- falling together.

Truckee, CA- this tiny town is the launch pad for excursions to the local hills and resorts. It's here that desperate ski bums, vacationing millionaires, and the eager migrant make their home. This is going to be our base of operations for the next couplde of months. Our mission is a little different though, we're obsessed with the people not just the mountains. We love mountains, don't get us wrong. We just love the God who made the mountains more.....and we want Truckee to worship Him for who He is.



In the team headlines- we've got a bid out for a local house. It's got everything we want, let's just hope that we can make the price right. Also when it comes to jobs, we're switching it up. We're no longer looking at Squaw Valley, but we're now focused on working as snowboard instructors on small, family-style hills. We've already got some interviews lined up! Stay tuned to see how God keeps changing our plans and puts us right where we need to be.

Prayer Requests

Housing: We have narrowed down a few choices for a house to live in, but the cost of living is very high in the Tahoe area. The average ski lease is roughly around $1400 per month. Time is short, pray that God would lead us to the right house and supply all of our financial needs.
Jobs: We need jobs at a ski resort so we can be directly involved with the people working and living in the Tahoe area. Our team has a few options, but getting a job will most likely require us going out there for the training sessions. Pray God would direct us to the jobs He wants us to have and will supply the means of getting those jobs. God is faithful! Thank you for your prayers!
