Let me just start by telling you how the porch is set up a little bit.

So we have about 250 volunteers that make this happen every week.

And so as we gather with us 250 volunteers, they're divided up on about five teams.

Those five teams have a male and female leader over each one of those teams.

And so those are our porch leaders, kind of the elders of the porch, if you will.

And so every year we get away with those porch leaders.

We go out of town, we go on a retreat, usually to a lake house.

A couple of years ago we went to my in-laws lake house on Lake Whitney.

And so we went out there to Lake Whitney and what this looks like is usually a lot of

praying, a lot of dreaming, asking God what he wants from the ministry, how we can best

minister to you guys, those kinds of things.

And at night we're usually sitting around a campfire.

And so we're sitting around a campfire, the guys and the girls and we're talking.

And there's this big field out there, okay, where my in-laws places, there's this big field,

some public land, if you will.

And I asked the leaders, I just said, hey, have any of you never been snipe hunting?

And about half of them raised their hand, they had never been.

Let me just ask you guys, how many of you have never been or you don't know what snipe hunting is?

Would you just raise your hands real high, okay?

So it's a lot of you, okay?

It's a lot of you, so come back with me.

If you have been snipe hunting or you know what it is, would you raise your hands real high?
