"Outfits such as Garner's Going the Distance Adventure Ministry are creating weekend getaways that combine prayer and Fear Factor. Since 1996, Garner has been turning Christians into weekend bungee jumpers, rock climbers and skiers." |

"If Garner was going to have a slogan tattooed on his forehead, it might be something like "No Fear Through God". His enthusiasm for Christianity and adventure, two concepts that he refuses to separate, borders on obsessive, and he's quick to insert the phrase "God-awesome" in any manner of conversation. |

Mr. Doug
Just wanted to say thanks for the trip this weekend … You make it look easy … but I know how brutal it can be to drive long hours without sleep. The Rock Climbing and Hiking was awesome … although I sometimes wonder sometimes why we pay money to torture ourselves… In the end it’s all worth it.

Doug,
I want to thank you and Jimmy again for our recent mission trip. We had a God-awesome time! The whole group is still talking about it and this past Sunday we shared the trip with the whole church. The kids and adults shared so much great insight it became the morning sermon. The testimonies shared and the metaphors of their work and adventure spoke the Good News of Jesus Christ in an amazing way. They are anxious to do it again next year.

Hey duG,
This is Josh from the adventure trip. I just wanted to tell you how much you and your ministry means to me. I met some lifelong friends on that trip. And most importantly, I experienced GOD in a different deeper way that has stuck with me. I just want to thank you for that. I really hope to go on another trip with you soon.
Every time I think of you I cant help but smile. You have got to be one of the happiest people on the earth. You are doing what you love and what you were called to do. You are thriving in this life.
