Graham’s Words: “It has been a joy to work with such highly qualified and ambitious people that make up the staff at Summit Adventure. It has been amazing to see God’s faithfulness during the time that I have been here. My prayer is that he will allow us to continue to be a part of what he is doing in California and around the world.”
