Equipping
Mission
Leadership

Question 2

Equipping Session

Accepted Answer

The Equipping Session is 12 weeks of Biblical equipping, and building a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father. Before we can produce much fruit, we first must learn to "Abide" with the Father by being fully known. These 12 weeks will be a combination of classroom studying, and practical application. If we do not put to work what the Lord is teaching us, then we become like stagnant ponds rather than streams of life.

Mission Session

Question 6

What is the cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost per person is $5,900 which includes housing,  daily lunch, airfare for the mission session, team-fun days, and all books needed.

Question 7

What does the Garden do to help cultivate an abiding relationship with the Father?

Accepted Answer

We have built in time for worship and prayer into each week, but most importantly we ask for all of our students to commit to eliminating distractions. This means we ask for all students to give up their phone for 6 days per week. We recognize we live in a world of distractions, and while phones can be a great tool, we see the Garden as a place of refuge and establishing new habits. We recognize if a student is not willing to give up their phone for this time, they probably will not receive the true breakthrough from this experience. Directors will have their phones on them at all times, and will be available in case of emergencies.
