Lifelines Meeting

Campus Ministry opens up new schedule for students outdoor activities at crazy cheap prices. Lifelines the ministry is ready to plan a new fall of rafting, rock climbing, hiking, and paintball schedule. They are offering these trips to whoever is ready for adventure and has a great attitude.
Lifelines has been around for the last 10 years trying to build leadership, character, and spirituality with students on most of the Bangor campuses in this area. Joe C, the leader of lifelines works on staff with them years round. He states to his group, “We need to get trips together, and we need to find people who are willing to commit; that's the hardest part nowadays.” Lifelines method of running trips is almost always contacts from students. If a student in the organization knows someone that is part of another group, they get together and make a plan to make something happen. This makes it a more personal relationship with the group that is on the trip.
“Our focus is to reach as many students as possible,” says staff member Tessa Prest-Berg. The group likes to reach students in different majors, groups, organizations, religions, and views. “The more people the better” Joe states as he goes throughout the meeting.
Lifelines has seen a dwindle in the numbers for their trips. The rafting which is usually full every year, have had a tough time getting the numbers that they are used to. Which is hard to believe because rafting is such an awesome sport, the action, adventure, the rush! Lifelines hope to see a different turnout this fall, improve numbers, and more group members to take the leadership of students that are graduating.
Lifelines is a Spiritual based organization that focus to is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone.
