Reflections From the Retreat

We just finished our first event as a ministry which was called "A Whole Lot of Jesus Retreat." It was held at Camp Patmos on Kelleys Island, OH. We had around 60 people come out that ranged in age from 16-60. It was an amazing weekend full of God's hand working in each and every person's life. Men and Women of all ages were worshiping together, praying together, crying together, and breaking bread together.

Here are some things I learned this weekend...
  • When you try to do something big for God attacks from the enemy come in all shapes and sizes.
  • A cord of 3 strands is not easily broken, a group of 60 people committed to Jesus Christ and each other is virtually indestructible.
  • We can't change people, God changes and transforms people. Our job is to create environments for God to work and bring people to Jesus.
  • Pray without ceasing! Prayer is so powerful. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

Remember today that...

"Life's interruptions are God's opportunities."
