From the desk of Jeremiah Cho
If you have attended one of these events before, you know it is a special time of focusing on the Great Commission. We will share reports of what God is doing around the world, hear up-to-the-minute testimonies, and share our vision for the future. In addition, you will have the opportunity to fellowship with like-minded believers from all across the country. It will be a wonderful and memorable weekend. We hope you will set aside the time to be with us. We believe the Lord can and will use this Partners Retreat to make an eternal difference for His glory. Please make every effort to come, and let’s be praying that the Lord will use our time together to accomplish great things for His glory.
