That's right! After 186,000 miles of being "rode hard and put up wet" (sometimes literally) the Suburban used by the ministry of the Outdoor Wisdom Leadership School to pull our trailers and haul kids, gear, food, and other necessities proved she had given all she had to give on the way back from the Nantahala Gorge the last weekend of September.
Outdoor Wisdom Leadership School is a non-profit Christ-focused ministry teaching life skills, spiritual lessons, communications, and leadership through participation in outdoor challenges and experiences. Historically, over 93% of our participants are disadvantaged youth requiring full scholarships in order to experience these OWLS Adventures.
Those OWLS Adventures already on the calendar in the weeks and months ahead will require over 8,000 miles of pulling and hauling. These experiences are crucial to the social, spiritual, and emotional development of the kids and families we serve and cannot happen unless we obtain a capable replacement for "Beauty" who served us so well for so long.
If you feel led to serve the Lord by helping us with a replacement, please contact me immediately. If you cannot help the OWLS ministry at this time, please forward this link to anyone who might be ministry minded and in a position to help. Of course, I always enjoy hearing from you for whatever the reason so please fire off an Email to me.
Thank you for your understanding and compassion.
Blessings,
Ben Simms, Director
