Tonight at the Alpha and Omega Bible Church there was a lot of movement towards the retreat becoming a reality!
Pastor Carolyn made an announcement to the folks in attendance that I was sponsoring a retreat for any of the men that wanted to go.
We are starting with just the men for the first time and then try the ladies on the next go round.
After her announcement several men came up to her to sign up with the understanding that it would be a dry three day retreat, so leave the drugs and alcohol behind!
So now we have several folks that want to go.
I also spent much of the night speaking with Shelton who once was homeless himself. He now volunteers and helps out at the church Tuesday nights for dinner and Sunday mornings for Church.
I told Shelton about the retreat and he really liked the idea. He said that it was a radical idea and that many guys would really take advantage of it.
He also volunteered to help plan the retreat on Thursday evenings with the rest of the group.
He will have huge insight into what will and won't work!
Tonight was a great step towards the reality of a retreat!
Things are moving forward!
