From: Isaac Selden
Uplift Mountain has been receiving applications for the Pursuit Program! These three have committed to the 2025 summer.
Solomon Saugsted

We are excited to see how the Lord will work in each of their lives. Please pray for them as they prepare their hearts for three weeks of challenge and purpose here on the mountain.
We have many other applications and interest in the Pursuit Program. Pray for those that are considering a season here at Uplift.
Consider if you, or someone you know, would like to participate in our Pursuit Program.

Spaces are filling up!
Co-Director Spotlight
Riley Stahler has agreed to be our "Co-Director" for the upcoming summer. This will be her second year at Uplift.
We are excited to see her grow as a leader, and as a follower of Christ during her time here on the Mountain.
"Uplift mountain is a remarkable place where you can feel the Lords presence no matter what. Uplift to me has shown me the true Christian values and how to connect with God no matter what you are doing, it showed me how to truly let go and let God lead your life. I love Uplift, I was able to deepen my relationship in the Lord and use what I was taught up there in my day to day life. I learned how to truly follow Jesus, and how to love others the way Jesus loves us."

Riley-
Bring a Group!
Uplift offers retreats for families, church groups, and individuals who seek an escape to slow down and recenter.
Bring a Youth Group and tie together tight bonds of relationship, set a course of direction, and expand the notions of what it means to follow Christ.
Spots are filling up fast for this summer. So make sure you request a time slot and get your dates set!
Projects on the Moutntain
January was the month of preparing a living area for me and my family.
February allowed for the transition of settling in and finishing some projects around the apartment.
Adding a new "Mud Room" just outside the apartment. All the material was here on the Mountain. Just need a paint job.
Renovating the Lodge
Dad continues working to update the rooms in the lodge.
Here, he is sanding another custom vanity for the bathrooms.
Beautiful Weather
February brought us some of the nicest days of the year. Including days in the high 50s. We soaked it up after having a cold January.

Framing the Hunt's House
Zach, Amy, and Eddie Hunt
(Brother in law, sister, and nephew)
The beautiful weather allowed for some big days at the Hunt house. We were able to set trusses, build the stairs, frame the second floor, and get some of the sheeting on the walls.
Update from Isaac
This process has been rich for my family. It has been such a joy to see Wren, Asher, and Serenity embrace the realities of the Mountain. Not everything has been easy, but I continue to think of the things that I was able to experience when I was growing up here. It is such a blessing to see Wrenley enjoy the possibility for adventure. I anticipate Asher will do much of the same as he gets older.
In anticipation of the upcoming summer. I have been looking to challenge myself: mentally, physically, and spiritually. It is my desire to relate to the truths that we are holding out to young adults who are willing to commit to getting out of comfort zones.
I look forward to what the Lord is going to do here in the coming months.
(This is where we are planning our pack trip for the Pursuit Program)
Thank you to all of you who continue to support and encourage us here on the mountain. After a month of being here I am so humbled to see the financial support and the intersession in prayer that is committed to this ministry.
Please continue to pray for all of us here. That we would be obedient and true to what the Lord has in store for this place.
