Brill Family at Family RetreatFamily Retreat is encouragement, hope, and strength we don’t get anywhere else,” say David and Tracy Brill, who attended with their three sons. “When you have a disability in the family, these things aren’t found in the world.” June marks the kick-off of 24 Joni and Friends Family Retreats this summer. Families will be given the blessed opportunity to rest from their usual routine, to drink in life-changing truth from God’s word, to worship and share God’s love in the embrace of others who truly understand. Family bonds are joyfully strengthened as moms, dads, and kids who live with disability build beautiful family memories to last a lifetime. “At Family Retreat, we grow closer together as a family and closer to God,” says Tracy. “Other families show us God’s love and encourage us to press on.” As a young father, David shoulders heavy burdens all year long that he can’t share anywhere else but at Family Retreat. “The guys in my Man-to-Man group are my heroes,” David says. “They come back year after year; they don’t jump ship. We’re stickin’ with it because God meets us at Family Retreat and helps us. “When we leave at the end of the week, we take the support and love of our family in Christ with us,” David continues. “We carry God’s word with us all year long. You can’t put a price on what God gives us at Family Retreat.” Join us in praying for all of the families who will be attending a Family Retreat this summer! And thank you for allowing God to use you to restore families through Christ’s love at Family Retreats. Check back to meet more families who are being blessed this summer at Family Retreat!
