MEET JACKSON.

Jackson steps up to the edge of the frigid, fog-covered water wearing only water-shoes and his swim trunks. It's mid-March and the frost hasn't even melted off their tarps yet. He shoots a glance up the gravel bar past his nine companions and towards the DM instructors-- also in swimwear. Jackson is pretty nervous about being the leader of the day, but knows he must set his group up for success today.
​
"Everyone ready... on the count of three..." he shouts. "ONE... TWO... THREE!"

The entire group bounds and screams into the water, gasping through icy splashes-- a riot of uncontrolled laughter and clamorous screams.

CHALLENGE EXPEDITIONS ARE LIKE THAT.

​​​Shocking but exhilarating. Eye-opening but uncomfortable. Risky but rewarding. Discovery Ministries instructors function like the best coaches, pushing you to do more and grow faster than you would left to yourself--physically, mentally and spiritually. If you want to firmly establish a team or press your group to a breakthrough, consider a Challenge Expedition.

As the wilderness trip continued in spite of my failure, I began to wonder if perfection was as important as I thought it was... I began to grasp a new truth–that God was more interested in my perseverance than in my perfection.
