As men of God, we are constantly in a war. Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world…”
Come and enjoy a weekend getaway of encouragement and training as we take hold of the “Weapons of our Warfare” and enjoy a refreshing time with God. The weekend includes high-light activities such as sling shot paintball, shotguns, archery, knife-throwing, zip-line, and more alongside personal reflection and biblical truth.
