Wild at Heart - August 2012

Had a great time last weekend with the men from New Life Christian Church (and others) for a Wild at Heart Part 2 weekend. Though we had to dodge the raindrops, God blessed us with just enough of a window to get all our activities in pretty much unscathed. The men were all challenged by the material we covered and the group was great about sharing their experiences with one another. We loved to see the interaction of seasoned mature men mix with the often different perspective of the younger men. God certainly blessed us all - attendees as well as the Wild at Heart team.

2012 Equip Conference

Attended the 2012 Equip Conference in Peoria this past weekend. Made some good contacts and had some quality conversations about the Wild at Heart Weekend. We are praying that God brings us the men that need to experience Wild at Heart and learn all that God has in store for them.

The October 2011 Weekend

The Men of Samaritan Ministries came out on this great Fall weekend! Had a great time and hope to have them back soon.

Who is this guy??!!! He sure can "zip" with the best of them!

The September 2011 Weekend

Had a great time this past weekend with another Wild at Heart group. Fantastic group of guys (mostly from Northwoods Community Church) came out and burned up the paint ball field, shot the lights out on the gun range, kicked up dust on the 4 wheeler trails, and zipped down the zip line. Much was shared and learned by all during the DVD sessions. I think these guys will be back for Part 2 soon!

The July 2011 Weekend

On July 22,23 we had the men of Minier Christian Church out for the Part 1 Wild at Heart Weekend. And it was HOT!!!!! But we made it through with lots of water, big fans and the refreshing swimming pool. The men loved the shooting, paintball, 4 wheeling and zip line activities of course. And the John Eldredge DVD content always proves to challenge the way we men live our lives. Thanks for coming out guys. Hope to see you soon for Part 2.
