Harper Dodd

Hey, I'm Harper! After going on a Western Europe Backpacking trip with Sandy Good I felt called by the Lord to quit my corporate career and pursue entrepreneurship. I now own and operate a gym here in Lancaster County. I am passionate about helping young people become the best version of themselves and discovering their identity in Christ.

Cole Morgan

Hi my name is Cole Morgan, I am a craftsman at a custom door shop in Lancaster County. I have had a heart for missions after my first backpacking trip in 2022. Since that time I have been on 3 backpacking trips with Dr. Good and other domestic and international short-term missions trips. God has shaped my heart to love serving and building relationships with others.
