College & Young People’s Daily Pursuit
One of the most critical factors for our growth in the Christian life is our daily enjoyment of the Lord in His Word. The Mountain States Young People’s Spring Pursuit is open to all college, high school and junior high aged young people in the Mountain States region.
The Daily Pursuit will consist of six key elements:

2Tim 2:22: … pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
pur·suit
(noun)
1. The action of following or pursuing someone or something.
2. An activity of a specified kind, especially a recreational or athletic one.
The Bible charges us to pursue together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. To pursue is not to passively receive some information or simply to follow a program. To pursue is to have an attitude of aggressively wanting to gain, to learn and to grow. We pursue the Lord together, to gain Him as our life, our Person and our salvation.
In addition, we want to pursue the truth. By seeking, inquiring, praying and studying together, to “apprehend with all the saints” the vast salvation that God has prepared for us.
Although there is only a little bit of material for each day, it is important to get into the material daily and not save it up for the end of the week.
