TWR 1.5: the world race prerequisite – pack hike

~~~
our entire squad had to complete a mile hike out in thailand trails with all of our gear and packs before we could officially move forward on our route. it should be noted that we are a pretty tough crew! ;0)

TWR 1.6: the camp life scene
~~~
our training camp experience was hosted by an incredible missionary family [check out http://www.freeburmarangers.org for their powerful testimony of how they are working to bring justice, hope, and care to people caught in war zones].

throughout training camp, we navigated potential circumstances and challenges we may encounter throughout our race. and, of course, we had a lot of fun along the way!

TWR 1.7: fusion training camp highlights
~~~
it’s difficult to capture all of the powerful encounters with GOD, the beautiful formation of community, the exploration of international culture and traditions, and the goofy, light-hearted spirit of our squad… but i still wanted to attempt to give you a glance into fusion’s training camp.
