The Beginning:Pentecostal Ladies Retreat
In 1991, the Lord directed our ministry to the beautiful Missouri town of West
Plains, to become the pastors of Calvary Pentecostal Tabernacle Church. To
our delight, our near and dear, long-time friends, Bro. Mike & Sis. LaDona Blue
were pastoring just a few miles away. One day I was sharing my burden of many
years, regarding "women's ministry" and the need for a Ladies' Retreat, stating
the fact that no one can reach a woman like another woman can (and so it is
with the male gender also). With prayer and guidance from the Lord, we had
our first Ladies' Retreat in October 1992 in the resort town of Hardy, Arkansas.
The attendance was a total of 44. What a great time together and with the Lord
that we had. We outgrew that facility and relocated to Bull Shoals, Arkansas.
After outgrowing that facility, we moved in 1999 to a much larger facility
overlooking beautiful Table Rock Lake in Kimberling City, Missouri. We were
at Kimberling Inn for nine years. Record breaking attendance led us to seek yet
another larger location. October 2008, we "settled" at the Settle Inn Resort and
Conference Center in beautiful Branson, Missouri.
God knows that no one understands a woman like other women. For
instance, within days after the angel's message that Mary would bear the
Messiah, she went to visit Elizabeth. They were instantly bound together by the
unique gifts God had given them.
Truly God has blessed and ministered to so many women during these 3-day
retreats, myself included. To God be the glory for all things done as we continue
carrying the torch....."women reaching women".
