What a great day we had, but we worked hard and dealt with 1 Corinthian 1:1-3 - remembering that we are called by the will of God. We look at the earlier posting I had from YouTube entitled - CardBoard Testimonies - many of us cried then went and reflected and prayed on why we do what we do - that lives be changed for the glory of God.
Then it was to work...raising funds, building core groups, developing launch-teams and leaders, clarifying our disciplemaking pathway. We wrapped up around 4, then it was time for burgers and personal interaction and just enjoying the lake. Eric Tober from State College and Stu White our new Pittsburgh Urban Director were able to be with us today. What an energizing time, but man we all have so much work to do! Praise God for His faithfulness and strength!

What an awesome retreat. To be able to get away and hear from the Lord, being with like minded brothers in the faith, and to be refreshed at a great location....God is so good! Thanks to all of the prayer partners and people who support Church Planting and the ADEFCA.
Thanks, Derek! It was great. While we enjoyed being away a got a chance to think about all we have to do, something about Lake Erie just made it so much easier. Now back to reality and the joy of walking with Jesus!
What an enouraging time to see so many men impassioned by the Gospel. I appreciate Jim and Jeff's hearts and their desire to equip men to equip others for the sake of the Gospel. I am very grateful for a strong network of coaching and and assistance as I work in Altoona at Crossroads. To the donors, I say thanks so much for your support and prayers to make this weekend possible
