I have attended many retreat, but never with my daughter, so I was really looking forward to this particular retreat. From left to right. Heather's mother in law, Vicki Wilson, me, Heather, and Lori Vernon, Heather's friend.
The girls didn't get in from Dallas till Thursday about 7:00, so we did not attend the Thursday evening services. The next day we were sorry we had missed it because there was a concert with Cece Winans. We went to Hooligans for dinner and got caught up instead.
There were four speakers and they were all amazing. We had come to hear Priscilla Shivers. She is the daughter of Tony Evans. I had heard her father in Washington D.C. with Charlene Henard and Scot, when Scot was in high school. Heather and Vicki had heard Priscilla before and knew she was great.
Dianne Wilson, her husband was the former senior associate pastor at Hillsong in Australia for 28 years. She and her husband Jonathan pictured below now pastor at a church in Newport, CA.
Christine Caine, also from Hillsong and founder with her husband Nick, of A21 Campaign, an organization dedicated to addressing the injustice of human trafficking.
Debbie Lindell, she and her husband John, are the lead past pastors at James River Assembly of God church, which hosted the conference.
It was two fun filled tiring days,with much solid teaching, preaching, praising, and worshiping.
Along with 4,100 other we enjoyed a great weekend.
Heather, Vicki, Lori, and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Lambert's where they throw rolls at you. Down home food.
We completed the weekend by heading to Branson's Outlet Mall to do a little birthday shopping for Heather and then dinner with Bob at Garfield's at Branson Landing. I went home with Bob and the girls headed back to Springfield to fly off to Dallas in the morning. Too short a visit.
