In the heart of Zimbabwe, Shelley Schar Croudace ’92 and her husband, Alistair, have created Lasting Impressions Wilderness Training Center (LIWTC) on 450 spectacular acres. Thatched stone buildings and landscaped walkways sit amidst tall acacia trees along a river. Antelope, monkeys, baboons and other wildlife wander the property. This scenic splendor provides a backdrop for LIWTC’s mission of introducing youth to Jesus Christ by teaching them about the natural environment, training them to be leaders and helping them develop effective skills for living (www.lasting-impressions.org).</excerpt><author/><image>
