Man Up - Men's Retreat






Last weekend a group of about 40 guys went out to the mountains of North Carolina for fellowship and spiritual renewal. This trip was an amazing experience and I am glad that I was blessed to go.

The weather conditions werent ideal for camping, it rained and was very cold. Yet despite these few set backs we still continued to do what God intended for us to do. Needless to say, the weather didnt stop anything from happening.

The mornings started off with breakfast and then some prayer and worship followed by a message. On Saturday one team headed into the mountains while another group went white water rafting. Those that went into the mountain hiked to the top and then rock climbed. It was quite a workout to say the least. The greatest part of the trip was seeing so many people conquer their fears with their fellow brethren.

We all came back with a great bond with our fellow brothers and we all knew it was a "marker" in all of our lives.
