It was a time of fun, fellowship, prayer, and meditation with the Sons of God who had endured the trials and tribulations of life and were determined to rise above through the love & strength of Jesus Christ. I had experienced my FIRST men`s bible retreat @ GC Via De Cristo over the past friday, saturday & sunday, and it was an experience that was literally life changing. Not just a change in lifestyle, but an inward change…a change of heart. The 3-days were filled with laughing, crying, sharing, good food, and abundant blessings. It was a time to remove ourselves from the influences & distractions of the world, to leave our pride and selfishness at the foot of the cross and have total commitment and focus on our Lord & Savior. Each of the men that attended had come from various backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, but we all gathered for one reason: to allow our HEART to be opened to God`s Word and allow Him to break us down and build us back up. We all showed up that first day with all sorts of baggage, but we left with a Spiritual re-charge & a real sense of purpose, hope, & love in our Lord & Savior. Jesus loves you, and so do I... De Colores! brothers & sisters in Christ!

I am two hours into my fourth day. I am so on fire right now, but I have to be careful! The thing that hit me most was finally during the serenade I understood that "this was all for me." Everything was just for me. I will never forget that. I just made Good News Via de Cristo 42 this weekend where I sat at the table of David.

How fantastic to come onto a blog of spiritual renewal family! My husband and I attended this fantastic Emmaus weekend 17 years ago on weekends 5 and 6 in the Lowcountry of SC community. We both served on several weekends, sponsored many pilgrims, including our daughters on chrysalis, and have had just an unbelievable 4th day - continually for 17 years! since that time, we have both retired from our jobs at age 62 - my husband has gone into the ministry as a 'retirement career' in the United Methodist church. This weekend - as we speak, we have two 'sponge-type' pilgrims on Lowcountry Emmaus walk #65. These ladies worship in the two country churches my husband serves - God is so so good - all the time! After our fantastic weekend 17 years ago - never thought I'd say the 4th days are the best part of the renewal! Talk about being set free! allelujia!!

I was blessed to spend the last 72 hours serving at New Hope Great Banquet #38 as a speaker (Talk #8 - A Life of Christian Action). New Hope is a community founded with the added goal of fostering racial reconciliation. We have been blessed this set of weekends to have a large number of guests from the Hispanic community join our banquet family. God was gracious; He supplied us with the translators and equipment to make this weekend meaningful for ALL who attended, regardless of their native language. I think this blog is a great idea and would love to keep you informed of events in the New Hope Great Banquet Community. De Colores! Crystal Paschal

I was able to share my story with some of my friends and I feel it has made a difference in their lives. I know that it is a choice everyday to continue to live in God's word. I was so inspired by my weekend and I know that I will never forget the love I received from those around me. I will continue to keep the candle burning!

You just commented on my blog, and I'm glad I popped over to yours! I don't know if you saw in my profile, but, while I am currently with my family ministering with NICS in La Paz, Bolivia, I had been, up till the time we left, involved in Kairos prison ministry in Kershaw, SC, though I had never heard that song. Man, that video brought back such joyful memories, seeing how the simple message of God's unconditional love can utterly change people in any situation. Thanks for posting about it. I may have to post about my experience in Kairos and link this video to it. God bless, and keep on passing on the message! De Colores! In Christ's Peace, Tom Fisher Dear indyretreats,
