Tip One: When God gives you a desire or dream for offsite ministry with your group, GO FOR IT!!! Without any doubt or fear allow God to use this special time to minister to your group.  God can do awesome things as you set aside time for Him. Even believe for the finances to pull off this special event!!! 

Tip Two: Set goals and PICK A THEME. You may have specific needs in your group.  Certain goals or themes can help focus on these needs!  Allow God to lead and guide you for specific details.  Nothing is too difficult for God!!! Let Midwest Christian Retreats help you plan your next big event.

Tip Three: Spend time praying and fasting and WATCH GOD WORK.  Sometimes as humans we tend to limit God.  In reality should we limit what He can do?  Especially, when a certain time is set aside for Him? I often think of the Scripture found in Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (New King James Version)

Remember God is Faithful to do what He said He would do!

God Blessings!

Isn’t it easy to get tied up in everyday life and “forget” to make time for our spouse?

1 Corinthians 7:27-28 tells us “those who marry will face many troubles in this life”. If we aren’t making time to connect with each other regularly – these troubles can take over and soon we find ourselves in a very unpleasant place.

February 14th is quickly approaching, and, whether you observe “Valentine’s Day” or not in your family – it’s a great reminder of the need to take time to invest in & nurture your marriage.

We hand out 5:13 to our staff and volunteers who go above and beyond the call to serve guests with love.  It is based on Galations 5:13.  This week we are featuring our housekeeping team at Lake Williamson.  One of our lead housekeepers, Melissa, is a GREAT example of 513 to her team.  Melissa, we appreciate your hard work, leadership, and commitment to serving our guests well!

Christmas brings many traditions to mind, but some of my favorites are

  • Christmas Eve candlelight service
  • Christmas caroling followed by soup, cookies and steamy hot chocolate
  • and one of my all time favorites putting the focus on Jesus -
    the reading of the Christmas Story from Luke 2.  

May your family experience the greatest joy this year and
draw near in love to enjoy the truest, deepest, merriest
Christmas ever.

- From Your Friends at Lake Williamson & Midwest Christian Retreats.
