Awesome Encounter!

We had an incredible Men's Encounter this weekend! Here are the 25 men (24 + me taking pic) who got a jolt of God this weekend! What a great group of guys.

Pray that they will keep running the race with all they've got! I believe that these men are going to rock the world!

"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philip. 3:13-14

Pray for Encounters . . .

Many ladies from Oso Creek are at Women's Encounter this weekend . . . Pray with me that they will find freedom in Christ!

'Consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus!' (Rom 6:11)

Men Encountering God

Men's Encounter is this weekend. For those of you who have never been to Encounter it is all about knowing more and more of the Freedom that God made us for. It is about getting rid of the junk that keeps us from all God wants us to have in this life!

Would you stop for a couple of minutes and pray for these guys who are leading and those who are going as participants? Simply ask that God would meet them there and that they would experience Him and have new vision for their lives.

Your Encounter

In just a week and a half our Spring Encounter retreats kick off! (Women April 18-19; Men April 25-26)

I can't tell you what an incredible time Encounter is . . . one of the best things that we have ever done at Oso Creek!
It's a weekend (Fri @ 6pm -- till Saturday @8pm) of learning more and more about encountering the Living God and allowing Him to change our lives! And the best part is that it's just regular folks (Women at the Women's Retreat -- Men at the Men's Retreat) talking about how they have experienced life change in the midst of real struggles.

We only do Encounter twice a year . . . Fall and Spring . . . so if you haven't been, sign up NOW before it's too late. Ladies email Susan (click here) and men, Greg (click here) to sign up or get more info.

How about a few of you who have been to Encounter hitting the comment button below and telling everyone about your experience . . .

Men's Awesome Encounter!

What an awesome Men's Encounter we had this weekend!! Thanks to Mark Patterson, Greg Richmond and JT Wranosky for leading! And thanks for all the men who shared their heart and their stories of victory (and continuing struggle) in Christ!
And a special thanks to Chris Burns for humbly sharing this morning in worship. Wow, powerful.

That's what I love about Oso Creek and about Encounter . . . . the willingness to be transparent for the sake of the Kingdom. That's why Encounter never gets old because it's about us sharing our lives so that other lives can be transformed!

Women at Encounter

Just a reminder that many Oso Creek ladies leave today for Women's Encounter (going to Zephyr Baptist Encampment). Please pray for God to bring hope and healing. Pray for relationships to be strengthened. And pray for Jesus to overflow the banks of their lives as they return tomorrow night and that the fruit would be lasting and eternal!
