Thanks For the Concert!

The whole TRFR team wanted to say thanks to all 122 people who showed up at Friday's benefit concert in Grand Rapids!! We happy to see so many people getting involved and we raised over $600 dollars at the event. We should have some pictures of the show up here soon so check back. Thanks again to everyone who was there!

Article in the APU Paper!

We hope everyone was able to catch our recent radio appearance! If not, you'll get a second chance because KKLA is going to be doing trip updates with us throughout the journey. Be sure to listen next time around.

For all of you who are not on the APU campus you might have missed our recent article in The Clause. All thanks goes to Kirstina Bolton for so beautifully capturing what TRFR is all about!

Hear Us On KKLA

Leighton is going to be doing an interview on the Frank Pastore show today at 5:28 P.M. If you can't catch the show locally then check out KKLA's Website. We hope you all can tune in!

T-Shirts Available!

Our T-shirts are now available in both MI and CA, so get them while you can! If you can't find us directly then go ahead and send us a message and we'll try and get one to you.

Equipment Arrives! (Thanks to North Face)

Yesterday, we got our first equipment shipment from North Face. They provided us with two of their amazingly light, yet still wonderfully warm, Orion sleeping bags. C.J. and Leighton decided to test them out immediately and spent the night outside (see picture below). Despite one run in with the Azusa Pacific sprinkler system the bags exceeded expectations.

New Sponsor!

We are happy to announce that we have received a new sponsorship from The North Face. They will be providing us with free sleeping bags for the trip and discounts on anything else we need from them. As always, let them know how much you appreciate their helping us by going out and buying some of their amazing product!

We have also gotten some help a little closer to home with a sponsorship by the APU Office of Global Missions. You'll be seeing their logo on the back of the forth coming t-shirts.
