Holding Hands
From the base of the cascading waterfalls, visitors can make a 600-foot climb. It is invigorating and spectacular!
Although trained guides are present to lead climbers along the path of the waterfall, slick rocks and pitfalls are literally just under the water. So one of the equally famous aspects of the attraction is the necessity of holding hands.
That's right! Hand-in-hand like a human daisy chain, guided by competent staff, each climber holds on for dear life to the person behind and the one ahead. Soaking wet, each person clings tightly to his or her neighbor. Children grab hold to parents and strangers; men and women alike hold onto and help one another. It is a wonderful metaphor for facing danger and life together, with each person looking out for the welfare of others. And at the end of the climb? Success!
One day, our world will learn that simple lesson of Dunn's River Falls, that we help one another win by holding hands and serving one another.
We are encouraged and strengthened today by the support of the ministry, friends and brethren. In the future we, too, can be there to help men, women, boys and girls in God's Kingdom. For us today, God holds our hands; we, in turn, can help one another succeed.
