support. We are passionate about this work!

| DB Palmer: MA (candidate 2007) B.S. Rec. Mngmt M.A. Human Relations (cand.) DB has spent the equivalent of several years exclusively in the 'field', in addition to his over ten years of youth and family work in adventure, |
| culminate in his ability to connect with teens and families. He is a patient, passionate friend and mentor who is still walking and leading others toward Christian maturity and greater faith. Jim has endless stories that make campfires a "historical and educational" experience for all! Jim has been a tireless advocate of Tree of Life, which first came to life in his mind years ago as he was cutting firewood. He was struck that while he was delivering dead wood to supply heat/warmth for his home, God challenged him to begin a ministry that would have everlasting results... and so Tree of Life Christian Wilderness Expeditions was begun. Jim supports each family by providing the clinical environment, both in the field and back at home, ensuring that while your teen is being challenged toward growth that issues in the home are also being looked at with an eye toward next steps. |
| leading youth toward greater growth and awareness. His passion for wild places is second only to his passion for serving and seeking Christ, primarily through serving youth and families. Having directed a number of programs, DB brings a broad range of experiential, clinical, and spiritual elements to TLC. DB is married and the father of two. He is a fan of classical, folk, and celtic music; loves to study the integration of psychology and theology; is an avid reader of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien, and other Christian classics; and would like to spend more time practicing his banjo and highland smallpipes. He is an avid cyclist, canoeist, and cross-country skier/winter camper; and can often be found guiding local Class IV+ rafting trips in his free time. DB supports the overall field environment, ensuring that staff and program issues are dealt with effectively. DB believes that we are called to the wilderness to seek God, like the prophets, kings, and leaders of old. Matthew 3:3 |
