WHEN:
It will be held from Thursday evening (31st March) through to Saturday afternoon
(2nd April).
Last year we had 45 men and teens come and be changed by practical preaching and
godly fellowship!
Below are the message Subjects that will be preached and the men who will be preaching! Pray that they will bless, stir, and change us into more Faithful Men!
Focusing on understanding and
developing the Word of a Man
in word
the importance of being men of THE word, and of OUR word! Craig
Ledbetter
Developing the Life of a Man in conversation Derry OSullivan
Developing the Love of a Man in charity Greg Durham
Developing the Attitude of a Man in spirit Craig Ledbetter
Developing the Faith of a Man in faith Dan Pero
Developing the Holiness of a Man in purity Rich Fulton
The main
Scripture verse will be from 1 Timothy 4:12 Let
no man despise thy youth;
but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity,
in spirit, in faith, in purity.
The
purpose of the men's retreat is for the men in our churches to be under direct
and clear preaching about serving God, and being Godly leaders in our churches.
It will be at events like this that our men could hear God's call to preach!
Every
man will be blessed just by the fellowship with other men of like heart, not to
mention the great preaching and singing!
Weather
permitting, there will be Mountain Climbing, baseball, soccer, some soul-winning
in Killarney, as well as prayer times, fellowship, and lots of food!
Costs
will be based on how many nights you can stay, and therefore how much FOOD each
person eats. So, plan on about 30 euro per person (it may be less but it is a
good number to hold to).
Teens,
and even younger boys are allowed to come as long as their father is with them,
or as along as their pastor takes responsibility for them.
Booking
is first-come, first serve, so make your plans and get back to me as soon as you
can with the number of men coming, and when you plan on arriving.
If you
can come Thursday evening, and can stay, you will surely get a FULL CUP! But if
you can only drive down on Friday, you still will be changed by the preaching!
Please
pray about being able to come, and let me know soon!
We
believe the King James Bible, and all preaching will be from the King James
Bible!
Any
questions, just telephone, or write me back!

Directions
to the Muckross Venture Centre in Killarney, which is a Hostel we rent out for
the retreat (my mobile number if you get lost is 087-276-6764):
If
you want to take the train, let me know, and someone will plan on meeting you at
the train station in Killarney and picking you up - but you MUST let me know!
From
Dublin:
Take
the N7 to Limerick
At
Farranfore, take the N22 going South into Killarney
From
Cork:
Take
the N22 (Macroom road) through Macroom, all the way into Killarney.
Once
in Killarney, it will be easiest if you just ask for directions to the Muckross
National Park.
This can change, but is probably a pretty close approximation of the events of the Retreat

1Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
1Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.
1Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;
1Timothy 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2Timothy 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God.
2Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
2Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2Timothy 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the masters use, and prepared unto every good work.
2Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution
2Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
