Speed Blog #2 - Men's Gathering

I spent this past weekend at Moon Shadow Lodge, in the Smoky Mountains for a men's gathering. At our church, we call them "gatherings" instead of "retreats", since men aren't supposed to retreat. Heheh! Anyways, we had an amazing time and God showed up in a major way. Lives were changed and hearts were turned towards God. The picture above is from the back porch of the lodge and the picture below is just some of the guys eating dinner.

Here's a picture with a few guys before we left on Sunday morning. This was right after Danny (red & black jacket) became my brother in Christ by accepting Jesus into his life. It was an incredible weekend and God had been doing some major work in Danny for the past couple of weeks and he realized his need for Jesus after this weekend. His story was powerful and he was such an encouragement to many of the other guys at the gathering. I also snapped a shot of his baptism at church that morning. Praise God for the hearts that he is turning towards Him and the work that is being done to bring more people into a love relationship with Jesus.
