Subject: April Updates

Hello alumni and friends of ALERT,


As I head out for another deployment I wanted to get one more email out to you all reminding you of two events coming up in June and July.


The first reminder is for the next couples marriage retreat we are holding in Waynesburg, PA, June 9-11, using the video series “Sacred Marriage”. The setting on a farm in Pennsylvania is well suited for a great time together, not only working through the sessions, but also enjoying walks, other activities, and spending time experiencing the blessings of God’s creation. For more details contact me at 903-714-3481. The price is affordable, and there is still room for another 4-5 couples.

The second reminder is regarding Conqueror 101—a two week retreat for guys 17 and over held in the beautiful Northwoods of upper Michigan July 1-15. (Please note: those dates do not include travel time if you ride up with us from Texas. More on that below.) Our emphasis will be an intense focus on what a man of God looks like, and our Bible studies and devotional times will be centered around this theme, utilizing books and videos that will bring these thoughts into focus. And, as anyone that has been to the Northwoods knows, you’ll find great opportunities for hiking, canoeing, kayaking down rivers, fishing, and just about anything else guys who love the outdoors do in settings like this. 


We have been doing these retreats for three years now, and this year I’m adding a special opportunity onto the program. If you’re a dad that would like to sign up for one or two weeks of the program, give me a call and we’ll see if we can work that out. I believe the material we cover and the times of interaction could be of special benefit, and provide a unique bonding experience for your and your son(s). The cost for the two weeks is $800 and that includes all meals, lodging and materials. Transportation from Big Sandy, TX is available for a limited number of guys. An airport pickup in either Dallas and/or Chicago is also a possibility, but those details would need to be discussed by phone. For all transportation questions, please give me a call.

Finally, as you know, I regularly get outside business owners calling me looking for potential employees. If you might be interested in a landscape job in the Tulsa, OK, area, give me a call. 


Blessings as you consider these opportunities!
