This spring, over 75 ladies escaped to the beautiful Smoky Mountains for a weekend with friends.  They left home in a frenzy, but they returned refreshed, renewed and determined to be the woman that God intends for them to be.

Some of the highlights included a "cracked pot" activity, a candle lighting ceremony and two ladies who began their relationship with Christ on Sunday.  What an awesome weekend!

In addition, the ladies gave over $2500 toward purchasing Portugese study guides for Brenda's upcoming trip to Brazil.  Brenda was overwhelmed, to say the least!

If you'd like to see what some of our retreat attendees had to say, check out this video.

At Lake Junaluska, Brenda taught 12 sessions from her new book, Living In A Zoo? and the conference attendees were blessed.

Our sessions included:

• Life Might Be a Safari, But I Live in a Zoo!
