Our Credentials?

Leading 7 to 14 day wilderness challenge trips teaches our staff practical scripture applications for working as a team (what 1 Corinthians 12 refers to as a body) under challenging circumstances. In addition, instructors read books, attend trainings, and get certifications (currently on staff: master’s level degrees in administration and ministry management, and a certificate in conflict resolution) that enable them to hone that scriptural foundation with practical tips and principles. Eventually, those staff learn to operate Discovery Ministries using those principles so that we model what we teach. After they show competence at operating the whole ministry, they are ready to share those principles with other organizations.
