The Concept
The
God Camping concept is about a monthly gathering of
men who come together for an overnight camping
experience in God's creation, focused on searching
for God with all their hearts.
-
We suggest you keep this process as simple as
possible:
1. Invite
men to join an overnight camping trip. This can be
done in person but often works best through your
local church promotion and advertising. Limit your
group size to what you are comfortable with.
2. Create a
list of interested men, including their phone
numbers and email addresses.
3. Set
dates, locations, and times of organizational
meetings.
4. Have
your first organizational meeting at
someone's home or your local church. Provide snacks
and water. Ask for help by giving out assignments to
your group. [Suggestions on Leaders Page].
At your first meeting have an
agenda and stick to it:
- Explain the God Camping
concept and your plans
- Introduction times for
all
- Introduction of the
book to be read and discussed
- Announcement of date and
location
- Details of equipment
needed
- Give out assignments
for all
- Costs
- Question and Answer time
- Short prayer time
Hold follow-up meetings if
needed, which can be in person or via group email,
and communicate clearly with those who are coming.
This will help build enthusiasm.
Again, share the load
regarding organization, equipment, transportation,
communication, and other responsibilities. Then go
on your first trip!
