Women's retreat at Camp Koinonia

Let me introduce you to three WONDERFUL ladies. Above you see Sarah, in the red apron, helping the ladies learn how to make pumpkin pies! And they not only MADE them, we all ATE them! They were delicious!

Blanca gave us two wonderful messages, challenging us to grow in our Christian faith and in our Christian walk. Blanca and her husband, Enrique, are missionaries to Amealco - the area surrounding the camp. They have seen about 30 people come to know Jesus, but they've also seen some opposition, including their tires being slashed, rocks in the road blocking their way, etc. But, as Enrique says, if God weren't working, there wouldn't be opposition.

Here's Sarah again. She's an amazing musician and led us in some wonderful worship times. Her husband Rich fell last week and broke two bones in his hip and pelvis, so he's flat on his back for six weeks. Sarah gave such a beautiful testimony of the Lord's grace during this trial, that they are still going through.

Heather coordinated all the efforts of the retreat. Wow! What a great job she did. She and Brock have four little ones - here you see Silas (or is it Ruben? I don't know!) "trying" to help mama with her job!
