Dear Friends,

With the year 2019 soon coming to an end we hope to take a deep breath here at Sola – Appalachian Christian Retreat. This was our first year at our new church in New York and first year working here in gospel ministry with hikers on the Appalachian Trail. Each winter should be a time for us to take a deep breath as the hiking season is at its nadir and we focus on preparing for the next. This year was, in some senses, a trial run for us; next year we should see many more visitors as word gets out about our ministry. Please pray for our preparations for 2020. Please consider becoming a financial supporter as there is much work in this field.
