Action Packed Day Out!
Seven Christian men with their fourteen guests visited the Life Discovery Centre near Crawley for a Multi-Activity day of karting, quad biking, jet skis, canoeing and paintball games. But the day was not just about fun, although one guest commented after the first event that it had already been “one of the best days of my life”. The purpose of the day was to give our guests space to think in a fun environment and that’s exactly what it did!
During the orientation session at the beginning of the day we were all asked to think about some questions of life during the morning activities. This worked well and many of us had opportunity to talk with our guests around the questions set.
Lunch was soup and rolls and we were asked to think about some more questions during the afternoon’s paintball games. Again the opportunities to talk were relaxed and flowed out of the natural run of the day and by the end of the afternoon’s paint balling I found myself sitting talking with a number of guests about the Lord, faith and life.
The day finished with a light meal and Jonathan from Life Discovery rounded it up by giving a Christian perspective on the questions that had been posed during the day. Everyone I spoke to had really enjoyed the day’s activities and all commented on what good value it was and for a number of our guests it had really caused them to think more about the reality of God and a relationship with Him through Jesus. What a great day!
