CALLED UP - MEN'S RETREAT

Embark on a transformative journey in the heart of the Ozarks of southeast Missouri at Eagle Sky of The Ozarks. Set against a backdrop of pristine wilderness, join us from April 18th – 20th, 2024, for the Men’s Retreat – “Called Up.”

“Called Up” draws inspiration from the world of baseball, where players are called up from the minors to the majors. Similarly, we invite men to be “Called Up” into a life dedicated to Christ. Engage in a schedule crafted for spiritual growth and camaraderie. Activities include Gospel-Centered Teaching, inspiring Praise & Worship, insightful Breakout Sessions, reflective Morning Devotions, and the joy of savoring delicious meals. Immerse yourself in thrilling outdoor adventures like Skeet Shooting, the exhilarating challenge of Hatchet Throwing, conquering the High Ropes Aerial Challenge Course, exploring hidden depths in Eagle Sky’s Cave, casting a line into the water, and catching some Bass, Crappie, or Bluegill, and navigating the waters through Canoeing, Kayaking, and Paddle Boarding.

Our keynote speaker, Darryl Strawberry, a four-time World Series champion, brings a compelling story of transformation through faith. His message of hope and restoration in Jesus Christ resonates with every man.

Registration is now open, starting at $210, and includes various lodging options – Dorm Style, Single, Double, and Triple Plus Hotel-Style accommodations – ensuring a relaxing stay during the retreat.

Take the next step in your spiritual journey. Register now and invite your friends to experience the profound impact of being “Called Up.” Don’t miss this opportunity for fellowship, growth, and inspiration.

 

Keynote Speaker

Darryl Strawberry

With four World Series titles, Darryl is described as a legend by many who have been dazzled by the dynamics of his game. Though Darryl was extremely successful in his career, his personal life was plagued with addictions, abuse, divorces, cancer, jail time, and other issues. Darryl finally found true redemption and restoration in Jesus Christ.

Today, Darryl’s purpose and passion is serving the Lord Jesus Christ and helping others transform their lives through the power of the gospel. Darryl travels the country speaking and bringing a message of hope and restoration in Christ.
