ENHANCING THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE
2 GENERAC GENERATORS
Unexpected power outages can disrupt our services and impact our guests' experience. To provide continuous comfort and functionality, we are seeking to purchase and install two Generac generators.
Water Continues to Flow: Our guests in The Lodge and Cottages will always have access to running water.
Essential Services Remain Operational: Lights, heating, and other critical systems will stay on, allowing ministry sessions, meals, and daily activities to proceed without interruption.
Investing in these generators is an investment in peace of mind, guaranteeing a seamless and comfortable experience for everyone who visits, regardless of external circumstances.
THE SHED
Currently, The Barn is overflowing with tools and supplies, limiting its potential. That's why we need to build The Shed! This essential new building will serve multiple critical functions:
Well House and Event Bathrooms: Providing convenient and accessible facilities for all our guests during events.
Dedicated Storage: Clearing out The Barn by offering ample space for tables, tools, and all our ministry supplies.
Equipment Parking: Safely housing maintenance equipment, ensuring everything is organized and protected.
The Shed isn't just about storage; it's about creating an organized, efficient environment that supports all our ministry efforts.
THE BARN
Right now, our ability to host ministry sessions and share meals is limited by the size of The Lodge. The Barn, once finished, will be a game-changer! We'll transform this space into a vibrant hub where we can welcome significantly more guests for retreats and events. This vital project includes:
Electrical and Insulation: Creating a comfortable, all-season environment.
Drywall or Rough-Cut Lumber: Finishing the interior to be both functional and inviting.
Extended Roof for Outside Seating: Providing beautiful, covered outdoor space for reflection and fellowship.
A Full Kitchen: Allowing us to prepare and serve delicious meals for all our guests, no matter how many.
By completing The Barn, we can expand our impact, reaching more hearts and changing more lives.
DEVELOPING OUR DISCIPLESHIP RESOURCES
SHEPHERDING MEN SERIES
We're excited to share an upcoming initiative designed to significantly impact men's spiritual growth: a new series of follow-up resources for men's events. These resources aren't just supplemental; they're designed to be a cornerstone for continued discipleship, fostering deeper engagement and lasting transformation.
Each series will feature six powerful messages, strategically developed to guide men in four critical areas of their lives:
Winning with God: Cultivating a strong and vibrant personal relationship with God.
Winning with Family: Equipping men to lead and love their families according to biblical principles.
Winning with the Church: Encouraging active participation and service within the local church community.
Winning to the Ends of the Earth: Inspiring men to embrace their role in global missions and evangelism.
This comprehensive approach ensures that men are not only reached at events but also equipped with practical, biblical tools to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
In addition to this new series, we will also be releasing a revised edition of "Helping Men Win - 10 Lessons on Biblical Masculinity." This updated resource, combined with the new series, will create a robust library of materials to support men's ministries in discipling men effectively.
THE REAL MOMENTUM APP
We are launching a focused fundraising campaign to update and enhance our app for equipping men as spiritual leaders. This isn't just a cosmetic refresh; it's a strategic investment in the future of men's ministry, designed to:
Enhance Accessibility & User Experience: A modern interface will ensure that profound biblical teaching and practical leadership tools are easily accessible to every man, regardless of his tech savviness. This means faster access, seamless navigation, and a more engaging learning environment.
Expand Content & Interactive Features: We plan to integrate richer multimedia, interactive studies, personalized growth paths, and new features that foster community and accountability among users. Imagine dynamic challenges, collaborative prayer groups, and instant access to guidance whenever it's needed.
Boost Engagement & Retention: An updated app will keep men more consistently engaged with discipleship content, offering reasons to return daily. This sustained interaction is key to developing spiritual habits and leadership qualities.
Widen Our Impact: A redesigned app will allow us to reach more men who are seeking spiritual direction, discipleship, and leadership training, extending our ministry's influence far beyond physical gatherings.
STRENGTHENING OF MINISTRY LEADERS & CHURCHES
PASTOR WELLNESS PROGRAM
Ministry burnout is real, but so is renewal. By investing in leaders—and those they lead—we’ll not only offer hope and help for pastors, but we’ll also see their families thrive and their churches come alive.
According to a recent Tennessee Baptist Mission Board Ministry Wellness Survey, over 30% of pastors have seriously considered quitting in just the last six months.
Your gift will help fund a research-informed ministry to leaders and their churches that provides financial support and intentional opportunities for spiritual renewal, personal reflection, and practical equipping.
Through the Ministry Leader Wellness Program, we’re raising funds to provide soul care and strategic support for those who serve on the front lines of ministry.
MINISTRY LEADER RENEWAL & CHURCH REVITALIZATION
Together, we can come alongside Spiritual Leaders like Arron and Hur did for Moses and develop effective opportunities that breathe new life into weary leaders and reawaken churches with fresh vision and vibrant faith.
We believe that ministry to ministers is ministry to multitudes, so we are offering two opportunities for ministry leaders this fall while exploring additional ways to minister to them.
• Shepherd’s Retreat with Pastor Mike Stone - September 15-17 - REGISTER TO ATTEND
• Pastors & Wives Retreat with Doug and Marilyn Cuthbert - November 3-5 - REGISTER TO ATTEND
Let’s come alongside them with grace, generosity, and a renewed commitment to their well-being.
