Spring 2012 EFCA TX-OK Men’s Retreat

April 13—15, 2012

"The Man God Uses"

Move from ordinary to extraordinary men who have encountered God and want to understand what God is doing in their lives. "The Man God Uses" helps men understand their encounter with God and how this encounter affects all areas of their lives: personal, family, work, church, and community.

Jesus said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while."  Mark 6:31
