Sink or Swim

In July we got a new group of Master's Commission students here in El Salvador. You can enter in the program in January or July. The students were nervous yet eager to start this adventure that we call Last Harvest Master's Commission. We take them through a vigorous process called bootcamp where they will learned to be trained physically and to die to self daily. It is not for the weak. Those who heard the call of Jesus to enter this program will finish strong on top. It is a neat process to watch. These are the students who made it through....our July 2011 promotion.

One of the challenges that these brave warriors had to overcome was the SINK OR SWIM CHALLENGE. We blind folded them and took them all around the campground talking about faith. They had to do a few faith jumps/falls that were really no big deal at all, however with a blindfold you never know. We ended the session on our 20ft (ish) dock where they had to jump off! It was awesome. Some call it cruel and unusual punishment....but I call it awesome. We did take the blindfolds off right before and I had the privilege of being the life guard below to catch them. Here are some photos of our challenge.

Leading them to the dock!
