SUMMARY:The Dirt Works Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Greetings Brothers\,\nLast fall the “Iron Works” men’s retreat was a huge success with 120 men in attendance. The weekend focused on the metaphor of how God transforms men through the process the mine\, the crucible\, the forge\, and the grind.  In the hands of the Master Craftsman we become more effective tools (axes\, shovels\, swords) for God in our homes\, churches\, and communities. \n \nThis fall we will be continuing the “Works” theme with the “Dirt Works”. The Dirt Works is a call for you to pick up your shovel\, start up your tractor\, and get back into the fields.  Jesus looked out over the world and said\, “The harvest is plentiful\, but the workers are few.” He called men out of comfort and into a life of courage\, out of the wasteland and into the farmland. \nMen\, if you want to… \n\nignite your life purpose\,\ntransform your marriage\,\nenjoy win-win witnessing\,\nand bridge the generational gap\,\n\nthen roll up your sleeves and join with other bold men of God at The Dirt Works! \nAt the Dirt Works\, you will discover how to… \n\nbuild a Tornado-Proof Manhood Plan\,\nunearth the #1 Marriage Killer and weed it out of your home\,\nmiracle Grow your Joy\,\nand much much more.\n\nDuring this immersive weekend we will explore the dimensions of becoming molded into the image of God\, to becoming good soil\, to becoming fruitful men as God designed. Plus\, every man who attends the weekend will be awarded a “Coaching Champions” Certificate from Blueprint for Men. \nIMPORTANT DATES: \nThe Dirt Works Retreat will be held at Cohutta Springs Conference Center on October 21-23\, 2022. \nThe Early Bird registration ends on September 22 and the final registration ends on October 6. \nRegistration deadline extended to October 16 or until we are full!
