EPISODE #2
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX ABOUT FAMILY MISSION TRIPS (INTERVIEW)
SUMMARY OF TODAY’S PODCAST
A conversation with Carl Walker of En Gedi Retreat who has developed, along with his wife, what I am calling an “out of the box” sort of practice they call “excursions.”
An excursion is: 1 part mission trip, 1 part vacation, and 1 part exploration.
Carl and I discuss how these trips first came about, why they came about, and how they put them together and implement them. He shares some powerful stories of how these trips have impacted him, his family, and the people they have served.
I think you’ll enjoy this interview perhaps more than I enjoyed making it (though that might be tough… I had a really good time).
