019 Spring Men’s Retreat Information
 
Directions
The address for God’s Mountain Bible Camp is: 14771 Old Hwy 59, Rushville, MO 64484.  The drive is approximately a 27-minute drive from Turning Point Church.
 
Retreat Speaker
Our Speaker this year is Ruben Villareal.  Ruben has been in pastoral ministry for over thirty years.  He is the current and founding pastor of Thorncreek Church in Thornton, Colorado a dynamic and growing congregation.  Ruben and his wife Grace have two children, Josiah and Hannah.  You’ll find Ruben to be a dynamic speaker with a heart for men and those who are far from God. 
 
Focus
The focus of our men’s retreat is David, Heart of a Warrior.  We’ll see how David’s life in God helped him face and overcome overwhelming obstacles.  We’ll also be invited to share David’s passion for his heavenly Father.
 
Retreat Philosophy
The real goal of our retreats at Turning Point is to offer opportunities for growth in your relationship with Jesus Christ, and in relationships of community with other men.  We would invite you to come with a spirit of openness all God has for you at this year’s retreat.  Also come willing to make connections with men you don’t know well.  God has a way of forging lifelong friendships in a setting like this.
 
Payment
The 2019 Spring Men’s Retreat is $100.00.  If you haven’t paid by the time of the retreat or if you have not secured a scholarship, please bring your payment with you.  We believe this retreat is going to be a powerful opportunity for men to experience God in lifechanging ways, therefore we want to make it available to any who are willing to come.  If you are able to help add to the scholarships available, please see Steve Longley – it will make a difference in someone’s life.

Anything you would normally bring on a relaxing weekend.
Backpack (there is minimal walking between venues but just in case you don’t want to carry a bunch of stuff). Bedding for a twin sized bed, or sleeping bag (including pillows)
Bible
Camera
Earplugs (especially if you don’t like snoring and if you plan to shoot trap)
Extension cord (who knows)
Extra clothes/shoes you can get dirty (some of our fun will be outdoors)
Flashlight
Flip-flops (each room has two showers but multiple people will be using them)
Games (if you like a board game – bring it)
Hiking gear (if you’re into that) If you have special dietary needs, you can bring that food to store in the camp’s refrigerators.  Please make sure your food is clearly marked.
Laundry bag
Pen and Notepad for notes etc.
Prescription Medications
Spending money (in case we go downtown for something)
Snacks and drinks to share (we will not have food and drinks in addition to regular meals)
Sport equipment (footballs, basketballs, wrestling singlets, etc.)
Toiletries (toothbrush, shampoo, soap etc.) Towels and washcloths  

A very short list of things to leave behind

Alcohol
Recreational Drugs
Work (if at all possible, try to leave this at home – it will be there when you get home, honest.  

Note about firearms – as part of our lowland games we will participate in archery and trap shooting, so if you want to bring your own shotgun and ammo that’s fine.   However, if you bring it we need to know about it.
