A few photos have been posted of the fourth, 2010, retreat, mostly of speakers and listeners. See them at this link.
The best deal in the brotherhood! For $10 a night you get all the food you can eat (24/7!), all the fellowship you can handle, all the teaching and inspiration you can hold — in the midst of God’s nature and the comfort of the Maywood Christian Camp.
The speakers are lined up. Some of these guys have so much experience, they knew Moses. Others are just getting rid of the green around the gills.
Oh, and entertainment is provided at no extra cost, on Thursday night. The Barrier pickins and grinnings, plus some. No painted clowns, though.
So come along, enjoy the fellowship and be inspired by what God is doing in the world and by the power of his word.
Speakers include Colin McKee, Don Petty, Don Posey, Gordon Hogan, Roy Wilson, Loy Mitchell, Randal Matheny, Robert Martin, James Jones, Don Green, Randy English and Ronnie Crocker.

If you’ve not confirmed your place at the retreat, do that soon, since the time is coming up fast.
The organizers are doing their planning, they’ve invited the speakers, and as soon they get all the confirmations, they’ll share the full information with us.
But we really have all we need to know: date, place, cost will be minimal. In the past it was something like $5 per night, all meals included. That’s just unbeatable.
So click on the Contact page and send that email in to Wayne to confirm your presence. I have!
We bought the domain name: missionaryretreat.net and are now forwarding it to this WP weblog. We’re looking for a host, but for now please use only the domain name missionaryretreat.net, rather than linking to a specific page.
This is a project in development, so there’s going to be a lot of knocking about. Also, Wayne Barrier will be sending us information about the next retreat and as we receive it we’ll update the page. Thanks!
