Discovering the Bible

Climbing For Christ has come a long way from its birth by God in the heart of Gary Fallesen before a Kilimanjaro climb in 1998. Guides and porters do more than work on Mount Kilimanjaro now. They are disciples being taught to make disciples and plant churches in East Africa. We are celebrating the 25^th anniversary of Gary’s first climb and teaching Kilimanjaro Chapter members more about “Discovering the Bible.”
