The 2011-2012 season for Focus Retreats, the Grace Brethren regional retreats for ministry leaders, kicked off last week in Ohio and continues next week in Ocean City, Md.
Today, FGBC conference coordinator, Tom Avey, announced that the retreat has been scheduled in Florida next year after taking a hiatus last year. The South Focus Retreat will be held at the Florida FFA Training Center in Haines City, Fla.
This year, those attending the retreats are looking at the challenges of “Finding Our Way Forward” through the ministry jungle. A clear path through the “many dangers, toils and snares” certainly does take a regular dose of grace at the heart level. Dan Allan, pastor of the Grace Brethren Church in Ashland, Ohio, is leading the retreats.
