Rocky Mountain High #8
2026-07-26 - 2026-08-02

Mentor: COL Andy MacLean, USA (Ret)
After graduating from West Point in 1995, Andy became an Artillery Officer. As a Captain in the 3rd Infantry Division, he participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom 1 as a Fire Support Officer for an Armor Task Force. He was selected as an Olmsted Scholar and studied 2 years in Mexico, opening the door to become an Army Foreign Area Officer for the second half of his Army career. In addition to participating in OCF, Andy now serves with the Association for Christian Conferences Teaching and Service (ACCTS), building and encouraging military Christian fellowships in other countries.
Using the book of Daniel, he plans to facilitate discussions on how Christian leaders can influence Babylons – places that don’t welcome our faith in Jesus Christ. The goal is to encourage and equip young leaders to influence any environment they find themselves in for the glory of our God and Savior.
Co-Mentor: 2LT Luke “Sunny” Kang, ARNG
Sunny graduated from Northeastern University in 2024 with a degree in Data Science and Biology. After being a member at RMH-I in the summer, he then traveled the world in Eastern Europe and South East Asia, went to AMEDD BOLC in Fort Sam Houston, and graduated as a Medical Officer (2LT). He is currently the OIC for the 182nd MCAS, Rear-D for the MA Army National Guard. Sunny will be transitioning from his research at Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School to work full time on a tech business with his brother called “Daniel Street Group,” having the heart to serve his community through excellent work from and for His glory.
What I want to accomplish this year:
To embolden members of RMH to only fear God.
“If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

He is now a board member of the Albanian Health Fund, an educational evangelism ministry to Albania where he has been serving for 32 years. He has twice been president of the national Christian Medical & Dental Associations.
In addition to his specialties, Dr. Weir’s major area of interest is the practical aspect of living out the Christian life as a doctor.
He is the author of three books: When Your Doctor Has Bad News (Zondervan, 2003) and Practice by the Book (CMDA, 2005) and Whispers (CMDA 2015).

He and his wife, Becky have three children, six grandchildren and live in Germantown, Tennessee.

Topic: “Listening to God”

We spend so much time talking to God that we often fail to Listen. Listening is far more than silence and hearing. It involves that at times, but most of our listening is listening while we run in a crazy, busy life that God has given us. We listen to relate, listen for direction, listen for power, listen for forgiveness and much more. Dr. Weir will be sharing from his life as a physician in Christ who has been serving veterans as a Christian oncologist for the past 16 years, and from his life before. More importantly, he hopes everyone that attends will be sharing as well.

Guest Ambassadors: Dr (COL) Arnie Ahnfeldt, USA (Ret.) and Dr (COL) Jeff Ginther, USA (Ret.)

Speaker: Lt Col Hans Larsen, USAF (Ret.), PhD
Hans Larsen is a combat veteran pilot and a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy (class of 1999). He served for over 25 years as a pilot, commander, and educator. Hans served as an instructor pilot in three airframes, the T-38, C-17, and the TG-16. Hans spent the latter portion of his career focused on developing the next generation of leaders at the Air Force Academy, and he now works as a leadership coach, educator, and consultant. Hans was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and grew up in Australia, as his family were missionaries planting churches there. His father had served as a Navy line officer on Destroyers and on riverboats in Vietnam before eventually returning to active duty as a chaplain. It was his dad who led Hans to Christ at a young age, and God used many other believers to help him grow in Christ. Hans has taught numerous Bible studies and discipleship courses over the years in homes, churches, chapels, and on mission trips. Hans married Angela, his high school sweetheart, three days after his Academy graduation, and the two of them have four children (one is married, one is engaged, and two are in high school) and they have a grandbaby on the way.
Topic: “God’s Sustaining Grace in Our Trials”
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted” (Ps 34:18)
What do we do when life doesn’t go the way we think it should? What do we do when we face sufferings and struggles that seem too much for us to bear? How can we trust God when it seems like things are so dark? How do we measure our worth in failure and loss? How do we engage with others when we are barely hanging on? How do we move forward? Join us in exploring these questions together through the lens of one man’s testimony of trial and suffering, and see how the Gospel shines through the darkness and how God’s love and presence makes all the difference.
Guest Ambassadors: COL Steve and Miriam Shambach, USA (Ret.)
