Why a Mission to Climbers?
The 400,000 climbers in the U.S.A. and the many more in other parts of the world can be reached
as a specific group of people because
of three words: Community, Congregate and Connection.
#1. Community
Climbers are a community. They tend to think and behave along similar patterns.
In their national magazines, the marriages of climbers and even the births of their
babies are announced.
#2. Congregate
Across the U.S. there are only a few hundred climbing areas. Each weekend,
thousands of climbers congregate in these areas. This allows a place for effective
group outreach to happen.
#3. Connection
When you climb, you entrust your life to your partner. You trust them to safely
hold the ropes for you. This is just the starting point for the deep connection climbers
have with each other. We believe this naturally strong bond can be a powerful means for
Christian climbers to present unbelieving climbers with God’s hope and purpose for living.
