Updates from YECA's 2015-2016 Fellows Training

Our 2015-2016 Fellows along with Dr. Fred Van Dyke and the Norregaards at Au Sable

A new academic year means a new batch of Climate Fellows at YECA! The training retreat this year was held at the Au Sable Institute in beautiful northern lower Michigan. This year we have Climate Fellows from Wheaton College (IL), Northwestern University (IA), Malone University (OH), Houghton College (NY), and Greenville College (IL). Dr. Fred Van Dyke, Executive Director of Au Sable was very involved in this year's training and Eric and Joanne Norregaards provided the hospitality yet again with their wonderful care and cooking. Here are some photos:

Learning from Rev. Dr. Jim Ball via Skype. Jim is a senior advisor for YECA and has been a pioneer in the evangelical response to climate change for years, spearheading both the Evangelical Climate Initiative and the What Would Jesus Drive tour

Planning on Little Twin Lake

Lots of great food and fellowship on the shores of Big Twin Lake thanks to the Norregaards!

Each Fellow presented their draft campus plans at the end of the retreat
