CallingWeekend 2008
Calling Weekend 2008 is in the record books. We had 80 men join us as Gary Barkalow of The Noble Heart guided us in a journey to discover and deepen our calling. From the comments we received many men’s lives were transformed. Strong Rock Camp and Retreat is an awesome facility and the staff there did a great job of serving us.
We have launched a social networking site to facilitate our community and share our thoughts, ideas, struggles and accomplishments as we walk out this message. Check it out at www.callingweekend.net
Comment from a few of our attendees...
"I believe that what he does with Calling is so much larger than the traditional approaches and it fits this every expanding, larger and larger story we're living in. What a wealth of information, but more, what a wealth of a life lived in step with God."
"For the first time I understood that I have been fighting against the message that I am/was inadequate. It explains so much, and now gives me something to pull the arrows from! The thought of being noble came out a lot this past weekend."
"I saw my girlfriend yesterday for the first time since I've been back and do you know what she said to me? "There is life in your face, something different, something very masculine that I haven't seen before." She laughed and said "I like it! When is the next men's retreat." I had to laugh too because I knew it was true."
"Most of us are aware of the terrible defeat that America suffered on Dec. 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor. The whole Pacific battleship fleet was damaged or sunk. What you may not know is that all but one were salvaged and put back in combat. Many of us are pretty shot up, but God can salvage the most damaged of hearts."
