Hi from Iceland! 🇮🇸

I hope you’re making plans to join us next month in Branson! The cut off for our group rate at Chateau on the Lake is next Tuesday so be sure and book your room before then. Our rate includes complimentary parking and the resort fee is waived (you’ll probably have to pay both of those fees if you book on a 3rd party site - FYI).

Here’s the link to book online - https://bookings.travelclick.com/11529?groupID=4110416&hotelID=11529 #/guestsandrooms

You can also book by calling the Chateau on the Lake and asking for the “Abundant Living Group Special Rate.”

Friends who attended the Branson retreat in 2022 will remember our hilarious comedy magician (and pickpocket!) Mike Bliss. Good news - Mike will be back at our retreat again this year! One more reason why we hope to see YOU in BRANSON, September 22-25, 2024!

Here is a clip of Mike from the Mike Huckabee show a few years ago. Excited to see what Mike comes up with this year!

Our fall retreat approaches! One addition to this year's event will be a Healing Hands International trunk show at the retreat, featuring products that are handcrafted by women around the world, each with a unique story. Every purchase from the trunk show ensures that the woman who made your product is paid a fair wage and can support her family. Here is a sample of some of their products.

Make plans to do a little Christmas shopping at the Healing Hands trunk show and know that your purchases are supporting women around the world. (They will accept cash and credit cards for payment, by the way.)

Western Canada Tour 2025 sneak peek!

I was in Vancouver for a site visit and got to check out some of our spots for the tour next summer! You’re going to love this busy city!

We had such a huge response to this trip that I added a second tour for the following week going eastbound. I’ll send an email out next week when I’m back in the office with the details. In the meantime, enjoy some of my (not professional) photos of Vancouver!

Home.

This simple, four-letter word evokes so many thoughts and feelings. Living in this crazy world can often leave us lost and lonely. Praise God that we can always find home with Him and His people.

Join us this fall in Branson, Missouri, Sept. 22-25, at the beautiful Chateau on the Lake Resort as we share together what "Feels Like Home."
