Retreat

Retreats are a time of talking about
packing, planning, and team policy making.

No doubt these things are important.

Bigger than those things though

was the deepening of new and old friendships.

We ate together, laughed together and celebrated together.

We did team-building activities that

reminded us how to work and serve together.   

The highlight of our time away together though
was the sharing of stories. 

Each person is evidence of the fact that

God pursues us all in creative ways. 

After each sharing,

we prayed, and thanked God for
what He has done in each life. 

Our hope is that He will use is in the stories of each
child at the Gift of God orphanage in Port au Prince.
