Wednesday - Brother's Retreat

Brother's Retreat in Sabanilla

We lead the brother's retreat in a "Centro Pastoral" which is located 30 minutes from San Jose nested in the beautiful hills of Sabanilla.

We had 17 brothers join the retreat. This was a very special time for them because they had to take off from their busy schedule and leave their business with their wives or partners.

We conducted the entire program which consisted of singing, ice-breaking games, sharing, a message from Pastor Stanley and most important, their question and sharing time about issues with marriage and children. It was a very open discussion and they got a lot out of it. One key thing that they learned is the importance to tell their wives "I love you." It was very difficult for them because of the difference in culture. It was also very helpful to have our wives give their perspective.

We had time to talk with a lot of them at the personal level. They shared their problems and heartaches. They cried too! Please pray for these men as they have a heart to have a good family.
