Hello all PA Climbers. If you are not aware of Climbing for Christ it is a Christian Climbers Organization. They have chapters all over the country. They do Mission/Climbing Trips all over the world as well as organize climbing trips in local areas like the Dacks, NRG, etc... They are looking to put a chapter in Central Pa somewhere near Messiah College and PSU. If any of you would like to be a part of a Christian Climbing Club, check them out at www.climbingforchrist.org and see what you think. Becoming a member is free and would help get a chapter in Central Pa more quickly. Just click under "become a member" on the right side of the home page. They went to Haiti, Mexico & Lesotho in 2006. Trips for 2007 are to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, a mission trip to Indonesia and a return trip to Haiti. They have had trips to Everest, Denali, Aconcagua, Rainer and Mt. Whitney to name a few. If you consider yourself a Christian or even if you are not and are looking for more climbing partners, join the club so we can get a club going closer to home. Climb on and God Bless!

I hope it works to get the chapter started. Maybe I'll see the group down here in Haiti.
On a side note, brace yourself for impact!

The only thing satan cares about, is keeping you away from Christ.

Oh boy!
The worms! The worms are starting to crawl out of the can! :shock:
My suggesting to the original poster is ignore the flack you're going to get and only respond to like-minded people, otherwise this is going to be an infinite chain of non-christian trollers taunting you. If you bite, it's going to quicly get off topic.
Climbing for Christ sounds great to me, but don't expect RC.com to be the most receptive environment and don't be intimidated into losing your voice 'round here! :wink:
Down boy! DOWN!

hbeimel : God bless you. Ignore the trolls.
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:7-8, NIV)
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16, NIV)

I would like to climb for Christ but I have a penchant for methamphetamine and gay massages. Will He still help me send?

if you had to be perfect to be a christian climber (or a pastor) then there wouldn't be any.

I'll have to ignore my advice to ignore the trolls and bite on this one.
If you don't agree with our religion, then just please stay out of the thread. OK?
How would you like someone stepping all over your stoopid Orange Alien Ebay auction thread ??? You know, the one that you bump every couple of hours ???
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...ewtopic.php?t=121561
I don't agree with that kinda stoopidity just for auctioning a silly single Orange Alien but I agree with your right to be able to do it without interference from trolls.
Just give climbers that want to discuss Christianity and fellowship amongst ourselves that same consideration. OK ??
Cheers and good luck w/ your Ebay auction.

We'll stay out of your Christian thread when you Christians stay out of our children's education, our private sex lives, vital medical research, and every other facet of our lives. "OK?"

gotta bump this sentiment...seriously - say what you will about religion vs jesus the man and his message, since many times one is different from the other - you gotta admit there's a little bit of 'your chocolate is in my peanut butter' with regards to the overlap of law and religion...

A lot of negativity in this thread.
All that matters though is that God loves you, he has a plan for your life, he wants you to have a beautiful, thrilling existence. Climbing figures into this because whenever I climb something awesome, see the gorgeous earth we inhabit, feel so alive inside, I thank God for being in my life.

You do know that there are Christians who DON'T side with the religious right, RIGHT?
