Father/Son Mission Expedition
 Gentry and Gabe are planning to offer a unique and exciting kind of mission
experience. One of our dreams has been to provide a series of increasingly
demanding trips that challenge teens and parents to be all that God desires them
to be. Tailored for life points such as 6th grade, 9th grade, 12th grade, and
college, these trips will be designed to help students put their faith into
action and to help parents intentionally guide their youth to Godly adulthood.
We plan to offer combinations of age-appropriate service projects and adventure
tours in locations that will range from local to regional to international.
Likewise, the service requirements and adventure difficulty will increase based
on the group’s maturity level to deepen emotional impact and to spur spiritual
growth. One’s first trip may be a local outreach (like a soup kitchen) and local
outings (like overnight camping). The next trip could be a regional evangelistic
campaign followed by a canoeing weekend. The next level may be a building
project in Mexico along with a week-long backpacking trip. Then the most
advanced trips could include orphanage work or humanitarian aid in remote
villages followed by an extreme mountaineering ascent. We have already “piloted”
local and regional options. Later this summer we are taking a small group to
South America to put together an advanced-level trip. We will meet with
missionary contacts to determine the most appropriate service projects. And we
will establish relationships with qualified guides for adventure opportunities.
This expedition will also help us determine what future group costs for this
type of mission adventure will be. Although our focus is initially on
father/son, we plan to offer father/daughter and various family groups as well.
Tentative Dates:
 | Ecuador - June 23 - August 6, 2006 |
| New Zealand - March 23 - 31, 2007 |
