21 days into the New Year, we were geeked to have 27 PAX post for today’s Mission workout. As hopefully everyone will attest, this AO is especially special…where all 3 Fs consistently show-up. We were so happy to welcome 5 PAX that traveled all the way from the Grand Strand, rising in the gloom to …
Today’s scheduled Q was incommunicado on a secret, Most Interesting mission, so YHC called a hillier route than the usual Friday coffee mosey. #Grumblechatter ensued. Conditions: 55, breezy, bit of rain that cleared up within 10 minutes The Thang: Olde Knight > Galway > Macon > Winston > Dublin > Hampton Ridge > Marthas Glen …
Just when you thought your previous experiences at #TheMission couldn’t be topped, this Saturday came along and took things to another level. It truly was a special day at #TheMission on Saturday.

Six months ago, Columbia area regions launched a downtown AO to support the men enrolled in The Oliver Gospel Mission’s residential recovery program. In that time, we’ve developed a strong relationship with the men in the program, as well as the leadership over there. Here’s an update of what’s been going on… Mentoring The OGM …
14 pax gathered ’round the shovel flag planted at historic Finlay Park on a pleasant Saturday morning in downtown Columbia. What a beautiful day to sit on a park bench, read a book and just kick back and relax! But that’s not what the men of F3 are interested in when attending a workout. It’s …
I witnessed something powerful at The Mission on Saturday. One of our faithful pax enrolled in the recovery program shared with me that he almost walked out the door of the recovery program earlier in the week. This guy is pretty quiet, but after some persistence he admitted to me that he was feeling guilting …
Thirteen got F3 at it’s best this AM at the well used and worth-every- penny- spent- on- it Finley Park.
