Backyard Campfire

A backyard campfire is more than just a social event—it’s a place for men to be known, challenged, and encouraged. In the warmth of the fire, hearts open, friendships deepen, and faith is strengthened. By intentionally creating this space, we give men the opportunity to journey together in authenticity, accountability, and spiritual growth. 

In a world where men often struggle with isolation, surface-level conversations, and relentless busyness, the simple act of gathering around a backyard campfire can be a game-changer. Throughout history, fires have been a place of warmth, storytelling, and deep connection. In the same way, a backyard campfire can become a sacred space for men to develop authentic relationships, share their burdens, and grow spiritually. 

Building a strong campfire community starts with consistency. Setting a regular time each month, keeping the gathering simple, and using guiding questions can help foster meaningful discussions. Encouraging openness by sharing personal highs and lows, challenges, and where God is at work allows trust to grow. Ending with prayer strengthens the bond and reminds everyone that they are not walking alone. 

If you have attended LeaderTrek, Marvel Men Weekend, and have a burden to serve your local community, you can lead a Backyard Campfire! It’s easy, impactful, and requires no special training—just a heart to serve and gather others in faith.

Backyard Campfire is completely free! Just bring water and dress appropriately for sitting outside by the fire!
