Featured Speakers of the 2009 Father and Son Discipleship Retreat
NEW Speaker
Pierre LeBlanc
Pierre LeBlanc to appear at the 2009 Father/Son Discipleship Retreat!
In the 1820s Pierre, a French-Canadian trapper, joined the Astor Party as they paddled up the Missouri River from St. Louis, then overland deep into the Colorado Rockies in search of valuable beaver fur. His adventures with the Lakota Sioux, an enraged Grizzly Bear, and his Bible-toting mountain man friend, Jedediah Smith, make for some grand campfire stories and memorable lessons for God-fearing men and their sons.
We received word via courier that Pierre will join us at the 2009 Father/Son Discipleship Retreat and that he is bringing along some pelts and hides, skulls, bones and plaster casts of some of his most memorable critters. He will also offer up lessons and advice on skinning, knife and tomahawk throwing and trapping.

Testimonies from Previous Years:
“I can't express enough my appreciation for the retreat. With God's blessings, it will be an event that will change the life of my son, my father, my family and ultimately my walk with my Lord and Savior.”
“The messages and the events have given me a new perspective on my role as a Christian father and my duty unto my Lord to pass on my heritage on to my sons.”
“The experience of being with over 400 Christian men and sons was overwhelming!”
“The topics covered are crucial in these times. The setting was beautiful, accommodations comfortable, and the food bountiful and delicious.”
“God really moved me thru your messages to strive to be a better father, to spend more time with my son and daughter with the purpose of passing the baton – the Christian legacy that God has blessed me with as a first generation Christian.”
