An adventure is a task undertaken that tests yourself not only physically, but emotionally/mentally in a manner that is unknown, challenging, and insightful to the individual.
On the 9th of June,2009, my family and I made a decision that we believe God placed on our hearts. We accepted the task of being temp. missionaries for God.His purpose in our lives was unknown, but we moved anyways. We were relocated to La,Ca on the 12th of June to a mega church called Angelic Temple. We were given the chance to confess the love of Jesus Christ to those who wern't saved.This was an adventure to me because I didn't know anyone, and the area was new to me. Also, many people arn't accepting to hearing the word of God because they feel that they are being judged. I had to battle with myself personally because I don't enjoy speaking in front of others. I am a very shy person, and the subject "religion" isn't widely accepted. This shyness caused me to be very uncomfortable and it hindered me from talking to people. I was challenged to 'walk 'into the world and be a witness to them. To share my beliefs opened me up to regection from others, and that scared me the most. Doint this allowed me to overcome my fear of speaking about God, and it revealed to me that people are still accepting Christ into their lives. This increased my faith and allowed me to speak to others without fear. People who don't believe in God or even a creater won't find this situation as an adventure, but it is. The move challenged my physically, speaking about God challenged me mentally and emotionally(fear), and the revolution that God is still working in the lives of others was insightfull. If you don't believe in God then he is not "real', hence he's not worth talking about. To those who do believe in God, you understand that it truely is an adventure and challenge to talk about Christ. But, the good this is that you understand the impact and importance of spreading the gospel to those who don't know him yet.

HI Lance. All the parts seem to be here, but it's a little difficult to follow. Next time consider more paragraphs.
I think your definition is really starting to get nicely specific. And there is great strength in your move to talk about your experience in terms of the definition essentially beginning to explain how the experience qualified as an adventure. Great. It should require more explaining, though, than actual evidence.
Your logic at the end--in terms of who would or would not consider the experience is an adventure--commits some logical fallacies. Whether or not someone believes in God has nothing to do with whether or not, as per your definition, your experience qualifies as "an adventure." Do you see that? (If not, let's talk about it in office hours.)
