About Us

The Iron Men Ministries Jeep and 4x4 Club is a bunch of guys that like to go out and have fun with our 4-Wheel drive vehicles. Were a Part of the Verde Baptist Iron Men Ministries. What kind of ministry is this? Well it's a good time to fellowship with other guys and their families. The trips begin with a prayer and many times we'll have a short devotion out on the trail. We've also been able to talk to others we meet on the trail about the Ministry and we've also given away some bibles to those that need one.

Pyeatt Draw Trip
We had 7 jeeps and 13 guys come on the trip up to Pyeatt draw near Payson, AZ. This is a very fun trail that allows those that want to play hard the chance and for those not as adventurous to take the road that follows the trail and watch. There are some pretty tough spots that warrant the 4.0+ rating. Especially the last waterfall. Amazingly the white CJ7 was the only jeep to make it without a winch. Don't ask me how... I still can't believe I made it. Granted there were some stacked rocks....but two other jeeps had the same rocks.

IMM Moab Trip 2006
We had 8 jeeps and 14 guys that were able to experience Moab, Utah this year. It was an awesome time of fellowship, four-wheeling, trail repair 101 and watching God work thru all of it.  He was with us when the motel reservations turned out to be in Marana AZ and not Moab and provided 8 rooms for 5 nights at another motel. There was No Vacancy posted the rest of the time we were there. He was with us with we made trail repairs and talk to other people about IMM as they came by. He was with us when we were able to help others that had broken down. He kept us safe the entire time. And He was with during the devotion times. More....

Broken Arrow and Pipeline
We had 3 jeeps out for some fun wheeling on two of Sedona's more popular trails. These are some easy but fun trails with some awesome scenery. But with this being monsoon season we finished the ride very wet. When we get over an inch of rain in under an hour the washes tend to fill fast. About a 1/2 mile from the main road we were stopped by a 5 to 6 foot deep river that usually isn't there. So while our jeeps turned into bathtubs we had to wait for the torrent to reside.

2^nd July 2006

Horseshoe Wash
We had 4 rigs out to play on this hot Sunday in July. Pastor Steve was able to join us for some Extreme Wheeling. Paul mentioned that he would like some rain in the prayer before we left and that prayer was answered about half way through. It was a welcome relief and cooled it off. After a short devotion and some more wheeling it got dark. This meant bailing out before the end and heading back home.... hopefully we can do this again and finish it.

23^th April 2006

Pivot Rock trail
We had 7 rigs out to play on this outing up in the pines near Clint's well. Some as far away as Phoenix. Nobody broke anything but some metal did get bent. Sorry Tim.  It was quite different without the 2 feet of snow that was here a month ago.
 

18^th March 2006

Homestead Trail near Sedona, AZ
We had 15 rigs and around 35 guys out to have a good time on an easy run. Everyone made it to the lunch spot near Oak Creek after descending  a section of the trail with some stair-step sections. During lunch we had a good time fellowshipping with each other and had a few minutes in the word (thanks pastor Denny) After lunch we had to go back up the stair-step section and then most guys headed home. A few of us stayed out on the trail to tackle some more difficult obstacles by way of Dry Creek Wash. Some of the rigs were tested to the limit and impressed all who hadn't seen it before.
 

12^th March 2006

Snow Trip near Strawberry, AZ
We had 6 rigs out to play in the snow (finally) after church. With over 2 feet of snow it was a little tough if you ventured off the trail that was blazed by the leader. We found this out a little over 100 yards off the highway. But a good time was had by all and we even helped out someone else that was having a hard time getting out of the ditch (that's the brown truck in the pics).
 

26^th December 2005

Perkinsville Highway to Verde River
We had 6 rigs out the day after Christmas. It was a great trail till we got to the end. No way out of the canyon so we had to turn around and come back out the same way we came in.  It was a great day to try out the new tires on a couple of the jeeps.

13^th November 2005

Mingus Mountain
We had 8 rigs climbing up the side of Mingus Mountain after church.  Most of the trails today were pretty tame. But the weather was nice and Jim had a good devotion about the narrow path (biblically speaking of course)

30^th October 2005

Sycamore Canyon (Psalm 126)
We had 7 rigs out for an afternoon trip after church. The weather couldn't have been any nicer. Other than a few scratches, some dings here and there, and a small fire things went pretty smooth (at least as smooth as a rock strewn wash could be).

22^nd October 2005

Smiley Rock near Jerome
This was a fun ride for the families. We even got a stock Tahoe thru it! (not recommended though) We started out with 8 rigs and then 7 after one of us saw what was ahead and decided maybe another day would be a good day to learn what his vehicle could do.

4^th September 2005

Cherry Wash Wheeling
The Sunday before Labor Day seemed like a good time to make a run up Cherry Wash south of town. check it out.

19th-22^nd August 2005

Fun Four Wheeling in Moab
Some trip are a little farther from home than others. This time 7 of us went to Moab, Utah for a four-day adventure, and boy do I mean an adventure! Each day started with a short devotion and prayer and then it was off to see how far we could test our guardian angels. Well, maybe not that much. But I'm sure they didn't get to much rest while we were moving.
