Speaker

Evangelist Glenn Stevenson

Evangelist Glenn Stevenson was saved early in life. As a teenager, God called him to preach and he attended Ambassador Baptist College for ministry training. He met his future wife Katie at a revival meeting, while she was preparing for ministry by traveling with an evangelist. Glenn has preached in numerous countries and enjoys traveling with his family. Glenn and Katie have two girls: Audrey and Julianna. He is excited to be able to minister to men during this retreat.

Activities

Here is a small sampling of the activities you can enjoy. You are welcome to participate in all you can or simply sit by the campfire and enjoy good fellowship.

Whack-A-Ball

Try your hand at driving some golf balls. The goal is to hit the aluminum rowboat anchored out in the lake.  Not many people are able to hit the boat, but they certainly have fun trying!

Black Powder Gun

If you have never shot a black powder flintlock gun, you are missing a treat and a unique experience. If you have done it before, do it again – just for fun.

Trap Shooting

We provide you with nine shotgun shells and a gun for the trap shooting.  You may bring your own shells if you want to shoot more than nine times.  We also have additional shells available to buy.

Hatchet Throwing

Throwing hatchets can be lots of fun. If there is no line, you can keep practicing until you hone your skills.

Table Games

You can enjoy playing a unique board game. You may want to be careful because they can become addicting!

Wonderful Preaching

There is one teaching/preaching session on Friday night and two on Saturday. These are wonderful times to be absorbed in the preaching of God’s Word directed specifically to men.

... and much more

There are lots of other activities for you to enjoy, or you may simply want to sit around the campfire. You could also join some men for an optional prayer time on Saturday morning.
