Travel

Bring your luggage and your camera because as part of theBURN you’ll be on the road. From ministry and missionary trips to recreational retreats it’s the time you spend traveling that will create a scrapbook of memories.

Recreation

Everyone need to crash for an hour or two, and several afternoon a week you’ll have free time without schedules or classes. Students will be able to do homework, laundry, and just relax.

Retreats

Sometimes retreating from the world is facing yourself and encountering God through times of prayer, fasting and intimate worship. Retreats allow you to strip away distractions and develop a deep and enduring relationship with the Lord.

Reflection

As a part of theBURN you will spend time alone with God, reflecting on what you have learned and experienced. Quiet moments with a bible and your journal will become part of your everyday life.
