Ministry Outdoor Adventures (MOA), is a new ministry created with the intention of specifically helping men of God (in pastoral and ministry staff positions), stay "Zeroed" on Jesus, by giving them opportunities to re-connect with God, and with other pastors and ministry staff, in the great outdoors. It is our goal to facilitate the reclaiming of sacred time and space in the wild and open places of this world, where God has always desired to reach into the hearts of those He has called, in order to empower them to fully live out the purpose, passion and plan He has for them.
The Scriptures tell us that our adversary, the devil, specifically targets followers of Jesus, pastors, and ministry leaders, and that he "...prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour."(1 Peter 5:8) Likewise, the Scriptures also tell us that the enemy's strategy in our present day, is the same as it was in the first century: "I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered..."(Matthew 26:31/Zechariah 13:7). So, because "The thief comes to kill, steal and destroy...", Ministry Outdoor Adventures exists in order to serve ministers of the gospel in an intentional effort of seeking to be the hands and feet of Jesus as He says, "I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10)
As men of God, in full-time, bi-vocational, or part-time ministry, as pastors or ministry staff, it is the vision of "MOA" to help guide you in a personal retreat or encounter with Jesus, so that He can lead you to "a lonely place..." (See: Mark 1:35 & Luke 5:16), where we believe He desires that you experience what it is like to be fully empowered by the God who "...searches to and fro throughout the earth, looking for someone He may strongly support, someone whose heart is completely His."(2 Chronicles 16:9) It is our desire to see you fully embrace and become, all that God has created and called you to be and become.
If you would be interested in scheduling, or being a part of an "MOA" ministry retreat, or if you would like more info, please comment below, or email either Rob at robwas271@gmail.com, or Jeff at Jeffrey.ochs@yahoo.com. Please note, these retreats and outings will primarily be centered around hunting, fishing, hiking, rafting/kayaking/canoeing, and camping. We can also customize events to accommodate both small groups and individuals, depending on the activity and the location.
We truly look forward to serving you in this way!
