Why It Matters

Experience has taught us that people who give their lives to the ministry and service of others, are often in desperate need of personal encouragement, recreation and rest. Most left to their own choices will rarely take a break. Add in the expense and/or time commitment of a trip and that is often all the excuse they need to stay home and to keep pushing.

Unfortunately, we have all seen the inevitable burnout that often results.

Loneliness

--- 70% ---
of non-profit leaders report that they do not have one close friend.

Depression

--- 45% ---
of those serving in non-profit leadership are in or near burnout.

Divorce

--- 52% ---
of marriages of those who serve in non-profit leadership will end in divorce.

We have been eyewitnesses to the impact that a Fellowship based hunting or fishing trip can have on these good people.

It is a simple thing that yields unexpected results.

If you have joined us on an FA trip, you know what we mean. It's the change of the daily rhythms of life, a different landscape, a kind word or quite simply spending time with others who aren't looking for anything outside of simply being present.

We extravagantly care for people and allow them to unwind in a safe, encouraging environment. We send them home and they return to what God has called them to: often with a tired body, but a refreshed spirit and outlook.

We consider it a privilege to play our part in encouraging, supporting and giving back to those faithful folks who tirelessly serve and give of themselves to others.

I find it difficult to adequately capture in words my gratitude for the enormity of what Geoff has so deftly but skillfully put together with Fellowship Adventures.

What continues to come to mind as the best way to describe it is that it's what the old Celtic Christians used to call a "thin place"—places where the door between this world and the next is cracked open and, for a moment, the light isn't all on the other side... They all work so hard to make everything as easy and seamless as possible for those who are there—and in the process their hearts—and God's grace and goodness—come through.
