Manathon XIVw

Posted on by

In February a group of young men from Liberty Baptist braved the icy journey and sub-zero temperatures for our annual winter manathon. For more about the concept of “The Manathon” you can look at these posts.

Where we went: Wells Lake in Faribault

What we did:

  • Dug snow shelters
  • Camped out in the snow
  • Cooked over campfire
  • Explored new terrain

What we focused on: A true man…

  • Grows up- Luke 2:40,52
  • Steps up – Luke 3:23
  • Stands up – Luke 4:1-13
  • Looks up – Luke 5:15-16

Some of the pictures:

Me: “Hey everyone, put your hands over your head for the next picture.” Everyone does and I push them over when the pictures is taken. Priceless.

Next time you have the opportunity to camp out in the snow, remember the words of the world record holder for consecutive bee stings, Jim “Buzz” Smith, “It’ll [be] swell.”
