If there is one thing Christians seem to be good at, its the outdoors. I’m not sure whether their affinity with nature comes from knowing it’s creator, but when you see them in their element they seem notice every precious detail, drinking in the beauty of creation and that inspire people.( I use the term ‘they’ rather than us, because having spent 2 years and every holiday since working for a Abernethy, a Christian outdoor centre, any of their staff would tell you I am probably one of least ‘outdoorsy’ Christians they know.)
Over the past few years I have come across many outdoor pursuits companies who maintain a Christian ethos, and am proud to have been a part of that network. Many of these companies are non profit making charities partly relying on volunteers and donations, and so essentially provide a brilliant service to the public, only charging enough to cover their costs of running. These companies aren’t aimed specifically at Christians either, though they hold Christian values, most will provide a program individually tailored to your needs, with optional Christian input on request.
On a personal note it was at one of these centres that I became a Christian, and so I could probably be accused with being a tad biased towards them, but next time your thinking about booking a holiday or heading off in to the great outdoors, check out some of these Christian providers.
You never know, it might just change your life.
