BACKWOOD ADVENTURES
BACKWOOD ADVENTURES’ mission is to provide a unified effort to introduce urban elementary, middle & high school students to the beauty, glory and order of God’s amazing creation through outdoor activities such as archery, fishing, hunting, orienteering, plant, bird and animal identification.
Christian mentors come from various churches in the Holland/Zeeland area to serve organizations like Compassionate Hearts, Kids Hope, and Wavecrest Academy students. The ministry provides year round outdoor activities for young people wanting to experience and enjoy the out-of-doors in a Christ-centered environment.
SOUL
SOUL is an exciting seven part DVD series from Christianity Explored that takes people on a journey through Mark’s gospel. It is written for a generation unfamiliar with the Christian message. Young people are challenged to:
- See why Jesus died
- Discover the truth of Jesus rising from the dead
- Explore the identity, mission and call of Jesus
- This series is used twice a month by Pastor Mart during the school year as a tool to help local high school students begin conversations with schoolmates about God and the critical questions they ask.
