How did Genesis get it's name?
Story of the Genesis Name
When Ken & Greg were considering a name they desired it to have meaning for them & others. The Genesis name was chosen as the brothers were starting out into a “new beginning” as it would be a new direction in life, it is God centered, the orphans we serve were also in much need for a “new beginning” & the trip participants gain new insights which is a gift from God.
Upon looking it up in the Bible, Genesis 1:10 tells us of God creating the land and the seas. His creation, what Greg and Ken grew up in, running and playing all of their life in the great outdoors. This is what they could offer orphans as they remembered how exciting it was to discover new things, what positive memories they had, how peaceful and healing it was being in the outdoors.
Remember the first time you saw a beautiful sunset, a magnificent rainbow, touched a sea anemone in a tide pool, sat on the back of a horse, saw a cow, cactus, mountains, baby pony, skipped a stone on water……all these firsts times are “Genesis” moments and they also reinforce that there is a living God that inspired & breathed life into all living things.
Genesis, “new beginnings” and experiences for many!
