DISCIPLESHIP AND BIBLE STUDY. DISCIPLESHIP IN GREAT ADVENTURE MINISTRIES CONTINUED TO EXCEL IN 2019. TUESDAY NIGHT IS THE HEART OF OUR CURRENT EFFORTS IN DISCIPLING PEOPLE. THE EVENING STARTS WITH DINNER AT 6:30 P.M. (PROVIDED FOR ALL WHO ATTEND BY ONE OF OUR 5 SMALL GROUPS), FOLLOWED BY A TIME OF WORSHIP AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM 7:30 - 8:00 P.M. SOMETIMES THIS PERIOD IS A MESSAGE OR A TESTIMONY TIME FOR SHARING AN INDIVIDUAL'S FAITH WALK. THEN WE ATTEND BIBLE STUDIES UNTIL9:30 P.M. WE DID STUDIES ON ACTS, ECCLESIASTES, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE AND THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT. ATTENDANCE WEEKLY AVERAGES 51 PER WEEK.WE ALSO DO SMALLER EVENTS WEEKLY THAT OUR MEMBERS ATTEND. THESE HELP TO DEVELOP COMMUNITY AND HEALTHY LIFE CHOICES FOR THOSE TRYING TO FOLLOW CHRISTIAN VALUES. WE ALSO HAD 2 RETREATS DURING 2019. THESE GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW DEEPER IN OUR INDIVIDUAL WALK WITH CHRIST THROUGH BIBLE STUDY, TEACHING, WORSHIP AND INDIVIDUAL TIME TO SHARE TESTIMONIES.
OUTREACH. IN 2019, GREAT ADVENTURE MINISTRIES CONTINUED TO SHARE THE GOSPEL THROUGH COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS. SUCCESS IS NOT ALWAYS MEASURED IN NUMBERS, BUT OVER 170 PEOPLE FROM THE LOCAL BAR COMMUNITY ATTENDED OUR PANCAKE FEED ON THE WEEKEND OF HALLOWEEN BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 3:00 A.M. WE ATTEMPTED TO SOBER UP DRIVERS BY SERVING THEM PANCAKES AND COFFEE. WE ALSO ATTEMPTED TO SHARE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST WITH THOSE WHO ATTENDED, AND WE SHARED THE VISION OF OUR MINISTRY TO RECRUIT PEOPLE TO JOIN US. OTHER EVENTS, LIKE OUR BARN DANCE (HOSTING 120 PEOPLE), VOLLEYBALL HOSTED WEEKLY, AND SERVICE PROJECTS IN THE COMMUNITY ALL EMPHASIZED EVANGELIZING OUR COMMUNITY. OUR NETWORKING EVENTS HOSTED AT OUR COFFEEHOUSE ALSO PROMOTE EVANGELISM. WHERE OUR STAFF IS TRAINED TO SHARE THE GOSPEL AND TO BE A RESOURCE TO THE COMMUNITY FOR PRAYER.MANY SMALLER EVENTS LIKE MOVIE NIGHTS OR GAME NIGHTS DEVELOP COMMUNITY AND HEALTHY LIFE CHOICES, BUT ALSO GIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO INVITE UNCHURCHED FRIENDS TO SETTINGS WHERE WE CAN NATURALLY SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH THEM.
