The greatest obstacle to most Christian’s spiritual, social, physical and ministry development is fear. Fear and insecurities have led to unbelief in what God says in the Bible and the reality of that in our daily lives. Fear will not vanish on its own, it must be crushed. This project will provide you with an outdoors, adventure oriented atmosphere where you will face your fears and insecurities and learn to live in freedom and courage.
Christians hesitate to break through their comfort zones and to take risks for God. As Christians, we must get past the sin and guilt issues that create fear and hold back progress in our lives. Broken families, performance/acceptance standards, the breakdown of morality, the media and so much peer pressure have caused most Christian students to live in failure and disobedience to Jesus Christ.
Purpose:
To use a mountainous environment to help Christians over-come physical, social, spiritual and ministry fears that cause personal unbelief barriers. These barriers hinder a person from growing, learning and accomplishing all that will give him confidence, courage and a meaningful walk with Christ. This project will teach you how to live a fearless life serving God.
Where?
The most beautiful place on earth: Durango, Colorado and the surrounding Rocky Mountains of South West Colorado. We will also do short trips to surrounding cities and other areas.

The greatest obstacle to most Christian’s spiritual, social, physical and ministry development is fear.

This project will provide an outdoors, adventure oriented, fun packed atmosphere where you can confront your fears and insecurities and learn to live in freedom and courage.
Christians hesitate to break through their comfort zones and won’t take risks for God. Christians must get past the sin and guilt issues that create fear and hold back progress in their lives. Broken families, performance/acceptance standards, the breakdown of morality, the media and so much peer pressure have caused most Christian students to live in failure and disobedience to Jesus Christ.
Most Christians are struggling with the same issues of acceptance, alcohol, sex and internet porn as the rest of the world. As a result, they live in constant defeat, unable to live a consistent Christian life. Until they learn how to live a successful Christian life on a day to day basis no progress will be possible. Fear and unbelief will continue to dominate their decisions and actions instead of love and courage and the life God created for them will remain out of reach.
The “Crush Fear” project is designed to focus on the Truth of the Bible concerning personal identity and purpose so that we can identify and reject cultural and personal lies that disguise empty deception and lead many Christians into mediocre lives that do little for advancing the cause of Christ.
“Fear Not” is the most spoken command in the Bible. We must face our fears and take consistent steps of faith to conquer them with Biblical Truth and action. Only then will we be set free from the shackles of fear, guilt and unbelief to have personal victory and to win big for God. Would you like to conquer the physical, social, spiritual and ministry fears and insecurities in your life and have a closer walk with God? If so, take a risk and join us for 10 days in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and watch your Christian life and courage soar.
