Ecclesiastes 3:11 God has set Eternity in the Heart of every Man Hi my name is Brian Dufrene, most know or call me BJ. Just like every other guy, I get distracted in my walk. But when I come together with my brothers at a retreat, it lights a fire back into my life… bonds I have built then help me in my everyday life. When I am struggling, my brothers are there to pray and battle for me. Don’t miss out on this awesome opportunity to come and experience this!

Look Around

I’ve been to 5 retreats… and have been truly blessed each and every time. It’s hard to say with words the way God touches men at these. The way he strengthens. The way yours eyes will be opened like never before… I urge any man who is thinking about going to a future retreat to do whatever you have to do… It is life changing. Some men say they don’t have the time or can’t leave their families, or just aren’t sure about going. I say you can’t afford not to go, not to take a chance in missing the message God has for YOU.

This was exactly what I needed… I’m a man who didn’t know what it was like to be strong man of God, but a man who saw himself as an emasculated man. God has lit a fire in my heart through these men, and I have never experienced this much passion in my heart for God until now!

A Firestarters’ retreat is an awesome encounter with God. Leave the worries of the world at home and get back in touch with Him. It is a spiritual awakening. A place to find your mountain, and enjoy his beautiful masterpiece. Two

ups!
