FALL<\/strong>. That time of year when yellowing leaves begin to waft slowly to the ground. When the mornings are cool and the evenings crisp. When the scent of burning wood and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot invigorate the senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is this time of year when many college ministries attend or hold fall retreats. With several weeks of class behind them, students have had a chance to investigate the ministries available to them. They\u2019ve started to build community \u2013 or are still trying to find it. The demands of schoolwork mount as they look toward Thanksgiving with no break in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing an opportunity for students to slow down, get outside in God\u2019s creation, deepen relationships and refocus on God is one of the best ways college ministries can serve their students this time of year. There\u2019s nothing radical about the retreats themselves. They typically involve nature and hiking, bonfires and s\u2019mores, icebreakers and games, worship and speakers, meals and snacks, cabins and bunk beds, late night activities and little sleep, and built-in time for individual reflection. But the Lord has a way of accomplishing a lot through these brief respites in the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 8th annual 417 Retreat, 54 students from seven Missouri campuses gathered at Baptist Hill Assembly<\/a> from Friday, Sept. 16, to Sunday, Sept. 18. This year\u2019s theme was \u201cDeeper,\u201d taken from the life of Jonah. Over each of the four main sessions, they examined one chapter of Jonah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerome Stockert<\/a>, Campus Missionary at University of Central Missouri<\/a>, brought 11 students along with himself and his intern. It was Central BSU\u2019s<\/a> first year participating in the retreat, and his students were challenged by the life of Jonah. \u201cSeveral of the students have been struggling in some areas with regards to obedience. There were some clear reevaluations, and subsequent steps to be obedient where they had not been before,\u201d Stockert says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleven students from Missouri Southern BSU<\/a> came to the retreat and returned refreshed and invigorated, according to their campus missionary, Jon Smith<\/a>. \u201cI had several comment on how they needed it to move forward spiritually and otherwise,\u201d says Smith. Aaron Werner<\/a>, campus missionary at Crowder BSU<\/a>, says the retreat brought his thirteen attending students together as a group, especially as they worked as a team for the TikTok scavenger hunt. \u201cFor our freshmen, it was their first retreat with us, so those relationships started to be more personal,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith and Werner, veteran college ministers, founded the 417 Retreat in 2015 as a response to the hole created for their ministries when the Missouri Baptist Convention<\/a> stopped holding Getaway, its annual college ministry fall retreat held at Tan-Tar-A Resort<\/a> in Osage Beach, MO. For both of their ministries, Getaway had \u201cserved as a catalyst to move students in our ministries from interested to involved\u2014a key step in our discipleship plans,\u201d says Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While at Collegiate Week<\/a> in Glorietta, N.M., in 2015, the pair, along with one of Werner\u2019s students, mapped out a new plan for a regional event that would meet the needs of their own ministries \u2013 and hopefully others as well. They planned the first retreat just a month before hosting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith says they were \u201cflying by the seat of our pants.\u201d Proof of that, he says, is in the retreat\u2019s name. \u201cWe called it 417 because it was our regional area code.\u201d They used 2 Timothy 4:17 as the theme verse that first year. Though half the schools that come for the retreat now are outside the 417 area code, the name stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christina Boatright<\/a>, campus missionary at North Central Missouri College BSU<\/a>, has participated since the founding year. This year she brought five students, including a new student who started attending Bible studies and worship services after coming to the retreat. The scavenger hunt on Saturday afternoon provided a fruitful context for NCMC <\/a>students to bond like it did for other campus groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three students from Three Rivers College<\/a> recommitted their lives to Christ, and another came to faith in Christ for the first time. The student who came to Christ, Brent, had attended the retreat in 2021 as well. \u201cOver the course of the weekend I could see God start a work in his heart,\u201d says campus missionary James Mohler<\/a>. \u201cBoth nights were spent talking through different things, and I got the opportunity to share the gospel with him.\u201d Brent was curious, but \u201cthat was all at the time.\u201d He disappeared after the retreat, only showing up to BSU dinners once in a while during the 2021-2022 school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fall, Brent told Mohler he wanted to go to the retreat again and get more involved with the BSU. The first night of the retreat, he said he felt as if the pastor was talking right to him. \u201cI explained how that was God speaking to him,\u201d says Mohler. \u201cWe talked a little longer and went to bed. The next day he was doing the quiet time and was really challenged by what he read in the book of Jonah.\u201d Later that evening, Mohler conversed with Brent before bed. \u201cI asked if he was ready to believe and follow Jesus\u2026he said YES!\u201d On the final day of the retreat, Brent shared with the group what had happened. When they asked how he felt, Mohler says, \u201chis response was that a huge weight was gone, and it felt funny and strange but good all at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weekends after the 417 Retreat, Collegiate Impact<\/a> in the Kansas City area held its third annual Abide Fall Retreat for college students and college-aged young adults. Growing from just five students in 2020 to 34, the retreat this year focused on Aligning Your Heart with Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collegiate Impact is a citywide web of on-campus ministries and partnering churches aiming to reach college students on all sixteen campuses in the KC Metro, as well as other college-aged young adults. It\u2019s a unique model, and the retreat reflected that. Three partner churches provided meals. Speakers from three partnering churches, including one professor from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary<\/a>, gave the main session messages. A University of Missouri-Kansas City<\/a> alum and her husband<\/a>, who are ministry supporters and members of a local associational church, led worship. Students and young adults from across the Metro, from various campuses and churches, gathered under one ministry umbrella to realign their hearts with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the post-retreat feedback form, one student said, \u201cGod taught me to spend intentional time alone with Him.\u201d Another shared that she was struck by \u201chow much He loves me and cares for me.\u201d A young man was challenged by \u201cthe reality of how necessary discipline is in my life,\u201d while another was reminded to \u201ctake encouragement in God and eternal promises rather than getting stressed out in the moment all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Executive Director Travis Hamm <\/a>considered the retreat a success and an encouragement, writing, \u201cAt this year\u2019s Fall Retreat we saw 8 partner churches work with our campus ministry staff to provide this event for 34 students from 8 Kansas City area colleges\u2026this really embodies the mission of Collegiate Impact: a network of churches and campus ministries working together to bring the hope and peace of Jesus to Kansas City area college students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retreats like 417 and Abide take a massive amount of effort to pull off, and that responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of the campus ministry staff. They plan, pray, and prepare; they handle registration and promotion; they organize food and housing logistics; they teach and lead; they plan activities and spearhead games; and they do it all on little sleep while pouring into their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s worth it, because they\u2019ve seen God use that context to work in their students\u2019 hearts time and time again. Helping students move from interested to involved with their ministry and from curious to committed with Jesus is well worth the effort\u2014and the lack of sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
