Men On Purpose

Father’s and Sons

Now this looks like an idea I could get behind... Fathering Adventures Darren Lewis and some mates started an Adventure experience for Fathers and sons (and soon for daughters). I met Darren at the Wild at Heart Boot Camp in Australia. In our conversations I have come to know that he has a strong heart for God and for his sons so this was a natural fit for him.
