Windy Gap men's retreat 2006

All is well at Windy Gap.

Glenn Galey, also known as the "Mayor of Windy Gap," led a crew from Hattiesburg to the Windy Gap men's retreat over the weekend of Sept. 21 - 24, 2006.

The weekend was a gathering of men from around the nation who joined together to worship, learn and fellowship to the Glory of the Lord.


The weekend's premeire speaker was Dr. Gordon Fee , a world-reknown New Testament scholar, lectured on Paul's letter to the Philipians.

In addition to Dr. Fee's lectures, we ate, played like a bunch of school kids, worshipped, ate and then ate some more.

Windy Gap is owned and operated by Young Life. It is located fifteen minutes north of Asheville, North Carolina in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Built on 2,200 pristine acres, our beautiful setting includes amazing views of the surrounding mountains, lush forest, and Upper Flat Creek.

The 2006 session of Windy Gap was a tremendous experience for all who attended. It relaxes the mind (expands the waistline) and refreshes the spirit.

If you haven't gone...don't miss it next year's retreat scheduled for Sept 13 - 17.

And yes, Charles did consume about 1 lbs of ice cream right before this photo was taken.

Prayer request: Adam Trowbridge

Monday, Sept 18

Adam Trowbridge (jmw's friend) is in the hospital again (University, Jackson). Staff infection has developed in his chemo port. They will be able to control this relatively easy. He should go home on Tuesday.

Tad (his father) asked me to let everyone know how important the prayers are at this time. Please pray for Adam to have peace and no more pain. It has been a truly suffering experience for Adam and his family. I need everyone to pray. Pray for Adam’s pain to leave him. Pray for his children, Marshall and Kennan. Pray for his family, Joyce, Tad and Jim. Pray for his doctors and nurses. Pray for Adam.

thanks,
jmw
