33 men in the woods together is either a recipe for disaster or intense community and fellowship. This spring break I (Josh) got the opportunity to spend the week with two other staff guys and 30 students from our movement at a small Christian camp in Coker Creek, Tennessee. It was an awesome trip that accomplished everything we were praying for it to accomplish. We were able to spend quality time together discussing what biblical manhood is and how to love Jesus as men. We studied the word and read theology together and individually, we did manly things outside together, and we came back as a unified community ready to know Jesus and make Him known here at Ball State. There were several men on the trip that were involved with CRU but didn’t really feel a part of the community until this trip. I was able to witness guys love on them well and pursue them with Jesus and see real community develop. It is hard to tangibly measure the fruit of a trip like this, but I pray that it will create at least 33 men who love Jesus for a lifetime and become godly men, husbands, and fathers.
