Gentlemen,
Last year the theme for our annual retreat was “Men Under Construction” which was one of our best events ever. The venue was packed, the weather was fabulous, and the Holy Spirit was poured out in a powerful way!
This year we will be taking the next step which is to discover that we were “Built for Freedom”… not the freedom that the world offers, but the true freedom that is only found in Jesus Christ!
The theme for this year’s men’s retreat is “Built for Freedom”, and because living in freedom is such a huge challenge, we’re calling it a MEN’S SUMMIT!
The Built for Freedom Men’s Summit is specially designed for men like you who desires
- Freedom IN Christ,
- Freedom FROM Bondage,
- Freedom TO Love,
- Freedom FOR God’s Glory
Here’s a snapshot of the freedom God offers to every man…
The anchoring scripture for this powerful weekend is John 8:32 which provides the “secret” to living in freedom.
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. ~ Jesus Christ
The secret is that true freedom is found by “knowing the truth”. This “knowing” is a deep intimate relationship with Jesus Christ who is “the way, the TRUTH, and the life”. When you truly know Jesus you will walk in freedom.
The purpose of the Built for Freedom Men’s Summit is to help men like you break free and live the life that God designed you to live. A life full of joy, peace, and power! But you can’t live in freedom riding the fence or by being luke warm. You must be ALL IN!
So, in closing, if your not living in total freedom you need to come the the Built for Freedom Men’s Summit. It could very well be just what you need to break free. See you at the summit!
Here’s to Living in Freedom,
The Built for Freedom Summit Leadership Team
