SUPPORT
Outdoors with Jesus is a network of outdoor people along the Wasatch Front. It is your contribution of participation, and prayer support which allow us to exist another year. Some people are leaders and can help us lead a hike. Each person has a talent they can contribute, whether if you know wildflowers, trees, animals, gps navigation, or the gift of helps.
