C.O.M.B.A.T. is a part of our church activity history, some preserved below:
2017 Combat: Breakaway Bastion [Free Yourself]
Positions are LIMITED! Apply ASAP:
2016 Mission: The Seal Team Invasion
2015 Mission: The Castle Contagion
2014 Mission: The Salvage Situation
++The Salvage Situation++...this theme encapsulates the two missions we will embrace this March:
Like the pre-incarnate Christ, who, for many centuries after the disobedience of Adam, viewed a world of men that no longer had the Spirit of God in them, a situation of the same magnitude faces us today. And what did the second member of the Godhead do as He gazed on the spiritually corrupt world? God came into the world as a man to save and salvage what could be rescued. Our C.O.M.B.A.T. missions center around this idea -- salvage the situation! ...salvage a filthy mouth ...salvage a rotten disposition ...salvage a sinning appendage of the body ...salvage a lost soul without God ...salvage anything that has been taken hostage by a corrupt tyrant-Satan! Our games, however, have a physical storyline involving corrupt agnecies, government labs, deadly pathogens, and special operatives who have been called in to... Resuscitate the Hostage and Modulate the Carnage. |
We have a theme for the upcoming combat mission. Look for the caption to be revealed under the biohazard sign soon. Our war is against that which corrupts the flesh.
In the meantime, much work has been carried out behind the scenes in order to ready the warzone by February. Occasions of camaraderie and good balanced teamwork have been plentiful in the midst of the new construction. Personally, I am "shell shocked" for the next main event. And while there are not many things happening in the public view, the chorus below relates the warrior-spirit of what's been happening in my garage by way of preparation… Neither training nor the mission
Of the troops will drop or cease; Only puffs and heavy prayers, glance soldiers at their knees. For, with interim of the closet Do the fraught seek His fleece. And that Comrade stands beyond bestowing strength from overseas. As the mind begins surmising To fill the goal it cannot see; Let it seek the ‘lasting Spirit And achieve on eagle’s wings DL Bolks |
2013 Origins: Every Mission Emerges through Motion
Our first ever C.O.M.B.A.T. event was initiated with some serious NERF mayhem--lock & load. All ages turned up for a great night of team oriented action. We pit ourselves against the enemy team; some of us quickly took to strategy while others gave themselves more-or-less to wild sacrifice in order to secure the home flag and take down the enemy. Each of the twenty-one gunners demonstrated fairness and enjoyed great camaraderie. Our activities ended with discussion about C.O.M.B.A.T. over pizza and pop. A little reminiscing over each other's bolt action gave everyone reason to chat-it-up and shoot-the-breeze. I personally believe the first C.O.M.B.A.T. Mission was overwhelmingly successful! By the goodness of Christ, may we continue to offer similar platforms for friendship. These opportunities provide incredible unguarded moments to share our faith together. ....until the next rendezvous
