My SALT Experience

Brad Wilson, Track and Field....

My SALT experience was completely different from what I was expecting. Honestly I didn’t know what to expect, but I was a little uneasy about going on the trip. But once I got on the bus, all the uneasiness just seemed to go away. I started to get to know people that I didn’t know and creating some friendships that I would have never had if I didn’t attend this trip.

Each leadership session touched on something new and always made me sit back and think how I could bring that back to my teammates and help the team become stronger. Each session I took back something different that I thought would work well for each and every team on campus and hope those things can be put to use in the coming years.

Every part of the trip you could feel God move whether it was in the group as a whole, or whether it was inside you. I never spend time in solitude with God before, so I thought I was going to be searching for things to do with my time. But once it started, I could just see and hear the things God was saying to me and put them in perspective. Just watching how God moved between everyone during that time seemed so unreal. Overall, I can’t say enough about the SALT trip in how it has changed me, and I know I’m not the only one it has. I just wish everyone had a chance to attend a trip like that.
