Many do not reach the mountain top because they have no HOPE.

With no one to encourage them, they cannot climb out of the valley. 

Let’s change that. We are meant to be climbers. 

but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the HOPE that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, … 1 Peter 3:15
