| Heroes
of Today The Heroes of Today program focuses on challenging
young people to a deeper commitment with the Lord. Our vision is to give them
Godly guidance and direction, especially in the area of relationships with the
Lord and with each other. Our desire is to help young people establish lasting
moral values while fanning the flame of their desire to follow Jesus. Our
way to challenge is through very practical, hands-on training. Participants are
involved in daily disciplines such as exercise, morning devotions, training in
life skills, outdoor adventures (which often come unexpectedly!) and more. We
also believe in having fun in what we do. Activities* may include such things
as
Heroes Semester - A Heroes semester
is a ten-week training ground to disciple participants
in Christian character as well as practical life skills.
Participants have daily teachings on various topics
such as studying the Bible, life purpose, marriage and
family, finances, citizenship, car-buying and possible
other subjects. Various activities are also incorporated
into the training and include daily exercise, devotion
time with the Lord, learning to work hard with a good
attitude, having fun together and many other opportunities.
It's an environment where both truth, love and Godliness
are upheld to grow young men and women into the likeness
of Christ.

Extra Mile - The Extra Mile is
a training ground to take you the extra mile. This may
mean a literal extra few miles on a hike, bike or canoe
trip or it may mean the extra mile in excellence on
an assigned activity. At the heart of this trip is to
find out what it is to go the "extra mile." This week
may include more strenuous physical activities and participants
must be able to hike several miles carrying a full backpack.
