COMPLETE FORM Join Nate in Italy Next November The purpose of this retreat is to help every man find at least one dependable ally -- and hopefully several -- who will support him in life's daily battles. Here is an opportunity to push past our customary vagueness and talk honestly, safely, and specifically about the challenges we all face. Things change when we start to pull together, accepting the fact that every Christian needs help and every Christian has some help to give. The cost for the whole weekend with full board in a single room with bathroom is $250. The cost for the whole weekend with full board in a double or triple room with bathroom is $200. Unfortunately, there is room for only 30 men, and 15 men have already signed up; therefore, at this point, the places will be available on a “first come, first serve” basis. For more information, please contact Dan Wiens at info@liberati-in-cristo.org LEARN MORE REGISTER Regional Retreat Opportunities Planning a regional Samson retreat?
