NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

This past weekend, Jason and I had the privilege of going to a couples retreat at Joy Bible Camp, just outside of Bancroft, ON.  Lorelei was able to come along too since her milk machine was going.

Friday, at noon, we loaded the girls up and took Delena to her Nana’s (1.5 hours).  We then joined up with my parents for the next 5 hours.  Once at the retreat, we met up with my sister and her husband.  Not only was it a couples retreat, but a family affair as well!

The couples retreat was called “Laugh Your Way through Marriage”.  It was a video series by Mark Gungor.  And laugh we did.  We thoroughly enjoyed the series.  He was very frank and we learned lots, but as Jason said, “It was hard to tell if he was doing a marriage seminar or just stand up comedy.”  We would highly recommend him.  If you’re interested in seeing what he’s like, just search “Mark Gungor” on YouTube!

We had a great time getting to know the other couples, plus a friend of mine from the area was able to come over Saturday afternoon for a visit.  The staff at the camp were great too.  They were totally accommodating for us bringing Lorelei along.  I wouldn’t be surprised if we find ourselves making another trip up to Joy Camp sometime, but maybe not for awhile because it is a LONG drive!
