Summit Day Three...

The third day of the summit was a day of connection and relaxation. We drove into the mountains above Beirut - to an altitude of over 1,064 metres above sea level - and spent the day at The Pine Yards, an outdoor adventure place with a zipline course, giant swing, trampolines, and other games.

We spent time in worship and there was a strong sense of unity, especially when we sang How Great Thou Art in so many different languages. Staff members then spent time bonding over games, ziplines, and deep conversations. It was a really special time.

Lots of games and activities.
Pretty flower.
