Men’s Retreat
Calvary Bible Church of Nassau, Bahamas’

Hello my fellow friends, I just came off of a retreat. I can tell you this, it was great. We started off on Friday night.
Our first speaker, Dr. David Allen, he set the mood for us. His talk was on Presentation on Stress. Man he hit almost every area of my life. It comes down to the word sharing our lives with other men. Accountably, the sad part is as a man, we do not like to share our deep thoughts and troubles. If you do know me I love to share, I have watched Pastor John at Calvary FTL. He has showed me that we need to be an open book and be willing to share with other men.
Dr. Evens came in on Saturday morning. His topic was Health Crisis. He spoke on Prostate Cancer and how to know about it. Which you all know, after the age of Forty (40) years old, MEN need to be checked. Women don’t have one. It is a killer and you don’t even know it is happening. There was on point, he told us about how Vitamin B 1 can help with any ones addictions. I really thought that was very valuable to pass on to any one that is trying to stop their addiction, smoking, drinking, drugs and even caffeine. You need to take 400 to 500mg everyday for at least a month.
Then Pastor Lee, Spiritual Crisis, taught on 2 Kings 18:1 to Chapter 19. About a man named Hezekiah who was a man that had a close relationship with God. He pretty much handed it over to God and He took care of the problems.
In the afternoon a man named Tshombe Godet spoke to us on Financial Crisis. This guy was born to preach the Gospel. His whole talk was focused on Christ. It was good but, I believe we need a Money Management class. He spoke on; you need to save for the future. Don’t let your bills run your life.
That night, Barrington Brennam on, Relationship Crisis. This guy was real and he seemed to live as he talked. During his time he really spoke more to the married men. But I can tell you this; I was listening and even taking notes. So, if you don’t know this about me. I have been married two (2) times before being a Christian. I know He is working on me.
Then the last speaker with Vicente Roberts. His was on General Discussion. This was a like a work sheet that we filled out Saturday morning and he came and picked it up that night. During the night he worked on how we answered the questions. He told us that we are pretty much all like the rest of the Christians that he has poled. That is we are not coping well with our lives and blaming ourselves about what is happening around our families and friends. That to me is showing why, we as men have heart attacks and don’t live as long as women do. But the funny thing is, while I was not walking with the Lord. I loved to blame everyone else and it was their problem. Even the church down the road has the same problems. So we need to take off out MASKS and be open and willing to share with other men so we are NOT carrying the whole world on our shoulders. Plus it comes back to ACCOUNTABLTY. Right where we started that Friday night. MEN WE NEED EACH OTHER TO SURIVIE. So in closing, I ask you, what are your problems??????
