5 Reasons I’m Stoked About Our Upcoming Manly Man and Hardcore Ladies Trips!

On August 2-3 we are sending the ladies of First Free Student Ministries to El Dorado Lake (Where my sister is teaching!!!) and on August 9-11 we are sending the guys to Tahlequah, Oklahoma to dominate a river! Here’s 5 reasons I’m stoked about this!

1.     Community will be built – Do you want to get better connected with Student Ministries? Come on our trips! Do you want your student to get better connected with Student Ministries? Send them on our trips! There’s always going to be downtime and fun things to do for the purpose of building community.

2.     There will be fewer distractions – I hope it’s no surprise to you that high school students tend to be easily distracted by the opposite sex. My hope is that by sending guys and gals on different trips this will create an environment where there are fewer distractions and that the guys will become more like brothers and the gals will become more like sisters.

3.     Moms and dads get to hang out with their kids – Heck yeah we are inviting moms and dads on these trips! I desperately want there to be opportunities for moms and dads to talk with their kids about Jesus. We want to see Jesus changing your family, and we want moms and dads to be pouring into their kids!

4.     We’ll do some crazy stuff – I’m not really sure what’s going
on in this picture, but I’m hoping we see a lot of that ridiculousness on these trips! Fifty dudes conquering a river? Fifty hardcore ladies dominating a lake? It’s going to get
crazy!

5.     It’s all about Jesus – We want to see students and families deeply rooted in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We’ll be hearing teaching about Jesus and testimonies from a few whose lives have been changed by Jesus.

I'm stoked!!!
