Need a little extra challenging experience for your youth ministry this summer?
Check out The Amazing Race: Extreme Faith Edition. Hosted by Embark Ministries, the July 16 event will challenge students spiritually, mentally and physically as they race throughout Etowah County.
The event is modeled after the TV show “The Amazing Race” and will begin at a location announced two weeks prior to the event.
There, teams will receive their first clue, leading them to their next stop in the race.
Each stop will include some type of challenge that must be completed before teams receive their next clue.
The youth group that reaches the final stop will receive a $500 gift card for an outdoor activity such as rafting or skiing.
The winner will be announced at a rally at Bellevue Baptist Church, Gadsden, during which The Advice will be leading worship, and Vista McDuffie, director of Embark, will deliver a message.
Other churches helping sponsor the event include College Heights Baptist Church, Glencoe, and Fairview Baptist Church, Gadsden.
McDuffie, who expects a turnout of anywhere between eight and 15 groups, said he hopes the event will touch as many students’ lives for Christ as possible.
“That’s the point. If I see just one student come to Christ, it will be worth everything we’ve done,” McDuffie said.
Groups from across the state are welcome and can register for the event at www.embarkministries.com. (TAB)
