About the Director

Ricky Burge spent his childhood in Gary, Indiana. He had a spiritual awakening on December 10, 2008, when he was born again in his cousin's living room. He was introduced to Andrew Wommack through an elder from his church at a Chicago GTS event in August 2011. During the event, he received a prophetic word that God was with him and would guide him toward his destiny if he said yes. Searching for his purpose, Ricky felt that God wanted him to accept the opportunity to attend Charis, which he did the next day. In November 2011, Ricky moved to Colorado and graduated from Ministry School in 2014. Afterwards, he served in DEMO Africa from 2014-2019 and then as the AWM and Charis director in Uganda from 2019-2020. In January 2021, Ricky returned to Colorado to serve as the Hybrid Coordinator, 3rd year manager. In 2022 he moved to South Africa to serve as the Director of African Expansion and, as of 2024, he is the World Outreach Director of International Expansion and the Director of Global Training School. Ricky is married to Nina, and they have a daughter named Royalty and a son named King.

Living at High Altitude Tips

  1. Slowly acclimate. Try to stay below 7,000 feet the first day
  2. Give your body time to adjust. Avoid strenuous exercise the first day. 
  3. Limit alcohol intake. Alcohol binds oxygen and water and robs your body of these two important nutrients. It also slows the acclimation process.
  4. Drink more water. Keep to a minimum of 1 liter of water for every 4 hours of inactivity and 1 liter of water for every 2 hours of activity. 
  5. Always travel with a companion. If someone begins to experience severe coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest pain, get him or her to a lower altitude as quickly as possible.
  6. Check with a medical advisor. The effects of some drugs can be greatly increased at higher altitudes. Be sure to check with your doctor before exerting yourself at higher altitudes.

People will acclimatize at different rates. Make sure all members of your family are properly acclimated before going higher.

 If you have any breathing difficulties if may be best for you to live in Colorado Springs and come up to school for the 4-5 hours a day and then return to Colorado Springs

Transportation

In Colorado Springs public transportation is available with Uber, Lyft, and Mountain Metropolitan Transit www.coloradosprings.gov/mountain-metro

In Colorado Springs you may be able to bicycle to the store or walk to nearby restaurants, but in order to get to Woodland Park and once in Woodland Park, public transportation is virtually non-existent. Biking/walking is not feasible for transportation to school in most situations due to mountainous terrain and wintery weather; it can snow as early as September and as late as May. Vehicle registration and insurance is required in Colorado, as well as double license plates
