Last month, this young man was featured in Wilson Times after leading a team of ten youth and seven adults in a service project to fulfill a portion of the requirements to earn the highest award in the Trail Life USA Woodland Trails program – the Timberline Award. Let's see his story of servant leadership. Christopher took the lead in planning and leading a team of parents and youth from Trail Life USA and their sister organization, the American Heritage Girls, to spruce up the grounds at Your Choice Resource Center, a pregnancy resource center in Rocky Mount, NC.  Trail Life USA is a Christian outdoor adventure, character and leadership program for boys in kindergarten through 12th grade.
