Spiritual Preparation

Participants who are spiritually prepared for Trek will be more likely to have a positive experience. We will stay in touch with monthly and weekly invitations for participants to spiritually prepare for Trek by engaging in activities that enhance personal reflection and help participants deepen their understanding of the pioneer experience. We invite you to prepare in the following ways:

• Practice daily scripture study and prayer.

• Seek out pioneer history and share what you learn with family, your seminary class, or your church group.

• Consider why the pioneers trekked across the plains. What made them commit to uproot their lives and gather in a new place?

• Journal about your preparations for Trek and reflect on the perseverance and faith of the original pioneer trekkers.
