"I will state for the record...That if I had not gone through one of John's weekends        several years ago, I would NOT be in youth ministry and I probably would have               lost my marriage."  ~Michael, youth leader

Purity. It matters. It's a challenge for anyone, but especially for teens and young adults. In our highly sexualized society, the pressure for Christian youth to conform to the patterns of this world are immense.            
Pure Adventure programs provide an opportunity for age-appropriate conversations about what purity is, why it's important, and how to pursue it throughout life. We use the Bible as the basis for purity, and help students and young adults understand how to apply God's Word in this critical area of their lives.


Pure Adventure programs can be adapted for a weekend retreat, a summer camp program, a local church, or within a Christian school or college. The format is highly interactive with discussions, activities, teaching, personal reflection, and a commitment time. 
  • Pure Adventure: Quest (middle school)
  • Pure Adventure: Expedition (high school)
  • Pure Adventure: Safari (young adult / college)

What I learned during Pure Adventure:

"Even if you stumble in your pure adventure, God will help you up because He loves you more than you or I can ever imagine." ~Rachel, 7th grade

"John, I came on this retreat as the teacher, but I think, being a single adult, I learned just as much, if not more, than the kids! Thanks!" ~Miss J, teacher

"I learned that purity comes from the heart. And I learned 'It's never too late for a pure heart!'" ~Isaiah, 7th grade

"I can't thank you enough for presenting this invaluable material to the 7th grade. So incredibly important. I wish every 12-year old in the country could experience this excellent retreat."                                      ~Mrs. V, parent chaperone 

Pure Adventure programs are adapted from the Purity and Holiness curriculum developed by Alex Rahill and Bob Tissot at Bair Lake Bible Camp, www.BLBC.com
