A Rocha goes to Whistler!

Early Monday morning, six of our interns at A Rocha and the Humphreys headed up to Whistler for a couple of days. The trip up was not just to ski and enjoy the outdoors (although we did do a bit of that), the reason for our trek north was to connect with the Whistler School, a part time discipleship program that runs through the winter months in Whistler, BC. Our interns joined in on the classes and Matt led them through 3 lectures on creation care.

Since the class met in the afternoon, that meant that we had time in the morning to ski and tour around the town. For Phanet and Shai, who are from Cambodia and Singapore, it was their first time on skis and a very exciting experience for them. For myself (Roxy), it was a bit more of a humbling experience as I fell within minutes of being on skis and bruised my tailbone. Nevertheless, it was lovely to get the opportunity to spend some time outdoors.

For one of our evening meals, Kenton, an intern at A Rocha, made a whack load of pizza dough and a number of people from the Whistler School and the local church came came over and brought toppings. It was great to connect with the folks up there and we hope to continue to the relationship in the future.
