I’m a licensed minister with GCMF and
I’ve also spent many weeks over the years at Christian Retreat with
Kids-A-Fame Camp and
YEX Youth Camp!
Christian Retreat in Bradenton, FL, is certainly…
“an oasis of spiritual refreshment!”
They host conferences, retreats, camping, events, family church, and more…
The facility includes the conference center and church, with hotel style lodging, a cafeteria,
meeting rooms, a gymnasium, a youth center, and outdoor recreation.
As soon as you turn onto Glory Way Boulevard,
you sense the peace that permeates Christian Retreat
located on the banks of the beautiful Manatee River in East Manatee County.
Towering oaks dripping with Spanish moss shade the 110-acre property
that is home to year-round residents, overnight guests, and groups
who use the conference center to host events, meetings and camps.
The speakers at the morning and evening services were phenomenal…
Rev. Eugene Weaver, our GCMF President, Pastor Emmanuel Derry from Trinadad, Dr. Phil Derstine, Pastor of Christian Retreat Family Church, which was founded by his Father, Dr. Gerald Derstine.
The worship/choir music was anointed, also…
Led by Worship Pastor, Rick Giannico, of Glad Tidings Assembly
God has raised Pastor Rick up in this fellowship
and has equipped him to encourage others to fall in love with Jesus
and to make “Melodies from the heart unto the Lord”.
The Lord has blessed Pastor Rick with an ability to write songs, such as;
“‘Indebted”, “‘Lord Of Everything”, “Glory, Glory To The Lamb”‘, “Rescue Me” and several others.
The songs God gives him are specific for a time and season for the ministry of the church.
“In February 2013, we conducted our first crusade in Vero Beach, Florida,
and the Holy Spirit moved mightily.
Then, in September we had our second outreach in the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
There we saw some 20,000 in attendance,
and nearly 2000 people make a decision for Christ!
Now, we will continue across the nation,
Gospel crusade after Gospel crusade, from stadium to stadium.
This is not the day to join the choir of the despaired
but to ‘blow the trumpet of God in Zion.’
This day is the best day ever, because it is the day of salvation.
There will be a crop for God’s glory, not a flop.”
“Evangelism must always lead into the church.
This is a central truth I have practiced everywhere.
I, the evangelist, bring my nets and borrow the boats of the local churches.
Together we will cast our nets into the human ocean
and pull them in to be emptied on the beach.
My promise to you is not to take a single fish
but to leave them all with the local churches.
Then I will dry and mend my nets and move to the next place.”
“I am scanning the skies for men and women
who pray and weep for the salvation of America.
As Bill Bright used to say, ‘Let’s leave our logos and egos.’
Let’s rally at the foot of the Cross of Calvary
And preach the Gospel of salvation to the nation.
The Holy Spirit will cooperate.
God is pouring out His Spirit
With glorious indifference to our differences!
He said, ‘I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh.’
And it seems to me He pours Himself into the mold of any vessel.
Please determine how you and your church
can participate in any of these upcoming crusades.”
“The primary truth about God is that He is the Deliverer, the Emancipator, and the Savior.
He is God only to the free.
Faith is a venture that turns life into an adventure.
Doubts get us nowhere.
They are mooring ropes.
Believing God means we cast off,
like ships designed for riding the high seas and going somewhere.
Faith inspires. Doubt paralyzes.
Faith says, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’
Unbelief does nothing.
Faith in God is exciting.
I’m an incurable believer, and I don’t want to be cured!
God bless you!”

I walk the streets of London And notice in the faces passing by Something that makes me stop and listen My heart grows heavy with the cry
Where is the hope for London? You whisper and my heart begins to soar As I’m reminded Every street in London in Yours, oh yes, it is
I walk the dirt roads of Uganda I see the scars that war has left behind Hope like the sun is fading They’re waiting for a cure no one can find
And I hear children’s voices singing Of a God who heals and rescues and restores And I’m reminded That every child in Africa is Yours
And it’s all Yours, God, Yours, God Everything is Yours From the stars in the sky To the depths of the ocean floor
And it’s all Yours, God, Yours, God Everything is Yours You’re the Maker and Keeper Father and Ruler of everything, it’s all Yours
And I walk the sidewalks of Nashville Like Singapore, Manila and Shanghai I brush by the beggar’s hand and the wealthy man And everywhere I look I realize
That just like the streets of London For every man and woman, boy and girl All of creation This is our Father’s world
And it’s all Yours, God, Yours, God Everything is Yours From the stars in the sky To the depths of the ocean floor
And it’s all Yours, God, Yours, God Everything is Yours You’re the Maker and Keeper Father and Ruler of everything
It’s all Yours, God It’s all Yours, God It’s all Yours, God It’s all Yours, God
The glory is Yours, God All the honor is Yours, God The power is Yours, God The glory is Yours, God You’re the King of kings And Lord of lords

Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain Holy, Holy, is He Sing a new song, to Him who sits on Heaven’s mercy seat
Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord God Almighty Who was, and is, and is to come With all creation I sing Praise to the King of Kings You are my everything And I will adore You
Clothed in rainbows, of living color Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be to You the only wise King
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder At the mention of Your Name Jesus Your Name is power Breath, and living water Such a marvelous mystery
2 Corinthians 5:21
“God made Him
who had no sin
to be sin for us,
so that in Him
we might become
the righteousness of God.”
Revelation 4:8
“Each of the four living creatures
had six wings
and was covered with eyes all around,
even under his wings.
Day and night they never stop saying:
‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty,
who was,
and is,
and is to come.'”
Revelation 22:1-21
Eden Restored
“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life,
as clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
down the middle of the great street of the city.
On each side of the river stood the tree of life,
bearing twelve crops of fruit,
yielding its fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
No longer will there be any curse.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city,
and his servants will serve Him.
They will see His face,
and His name will be on their foreheads.
There will be no more night.
They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun,
for the Lord God will give them light.
And they will reign for ever and ever.”
John and the Angel
“The angel said to me,
‘These words are trustworthy and true.
The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets,
sent His angel to show His servants
the things that must soon take place.’
‘Look, I am coming soon!
Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.’
I, John,
am the one who heard and saw these things.
And when I had heard and seen them,
I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel
who had been showing them to me.
But he said to me,
‘Don’t do that!
I am a fellow servant with you
and with your fellow prophets
and with all who keep the words of this scroll.
Worship God!’
Then he told me,
‘Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll,
because the time is near.
Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong;
let the vile person continue to be vile;
let the one who does right continue to do right;
and let the holy person continue to be holy.’
Epilogue: Invitation and Warning
‘Look, I am coming soon!
My reward is with Me,
and I will give to each person
according to what they have done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End.
Blessed are those who wash their robes,
that they may have the right to the tree of life
and may go through the gates into the city.
Outside are the dogs,
those who practice magic arts,
the sexually immoral,
the murderers,
the idolaters
and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
I, Jesus,
have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches.
I Am the Root
and the Offspring of David,
and the bright Morning Star.”
The Spirit and the bride say,
‘Come!’
And let the one who hears say,
‘Come!’
Let the one who is thirsty come;
and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll:
If anyone adds anything to them,
God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.
And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy,
As we were getting ready to celebrate my son’s 23rd Birthday…
We did the 10-year “infertility roller-coaster” years ago to have him…
I had him when I was 41…
He’s the light of our lives…
And our gift from God!
There was a point where we came to the same moment you and your husband came to…
We were only going to be able to afford one more round of in-vitro…
and my very blunt Mom said to me,
“Maybe it’s not God’s will for you to have a child!”
That shocked me…
I stopped in my tracks thinking about it!!
Then, I knew I believed that it WAS God’s will for me to have a child!
We had a miscarriage before my son,
Lost the other two embryos that were transferred with him,
And had a miscarriage after him!!
Though I wanted all those babies we lost,
I know I’ll see them in Heaven!
Now I direct a Drama Team at church,
And I’m “Drama Mama” to so many kids, teens, and young adults!!
God is so good!!
We each need to ask God the hard questions as you did…
And His answers are the BEST for our lives!
May God richly bless you always!!”
The Birthday Boy Man!!!
That face always makes me smile!!!!
Proverbs 1:8
“Listen, my son,
to your father’s instruction
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Father and Son!
Proverbs 29:17
“Correct thy son,
and he shall give thee rest;
yea,
he shall give delight unto thy soul.”
My son makes “Mothering” so easy and lots of fun!!
Psalm 127:3
“Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from Him.
Yeah!!
Birthday money to buy stuff!!!
John 16:21
“A woman giving birth to a child
has pain because her time has come;
but when her baby is born
she forgets the anguish
because of her joy
that a child is born into the world.”
We brought our Precious Little Girl…
A chewy treat from Petco on our way home from Outback…
Obviously, she cares more about that treat…
Than taking a Birthday photo with Casey!!
Proverbs 3:1-6
“My son, do not forget My teaching, but keep My commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
It’s so hard to get a good photo of our Crazy Siberian…
‘Cause she’s constantly moving…
That’s why I love landscape photography…
Most things stand still!!
Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is—
His good, pleasing and perfect will.”
My two “Babies!”
He always smiles…
She’s smiling…
But she still has the chewy treat in her mouth!
She always thinks we’re going to take it from her!!
What would we want with that yucky chewy???
James 1:17
“Every good and perfect gift
is from above,
coming down from the Father of the Heavenly Lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows.”
Psalm 115:14
“May the Lord cause you to flourish,
both you and your children.”
Deuteronomy 4:9
“Only be careful,
and watch yourselves closely
so that you do not forget
the things your eyes have seen
or let them fade from your heart
as long as you live.
Teach them to your children
and to their children after them.”
Jesus I pray…
-Your Word will prevail over our children…
-Your Peace will embrace them…
-They seek Your Wisdom and Understanding …
-They’re quick to obey You…
-They’re Holy in all conduct…
-They hunger and thirst for more of You each day…
-They’re content with what they have…
-They grow in the grace and knowledge of You, Lord…
-They’re clothed with humility…
-They cast their cares upon You, Father, for You care for them…
-They’re doers of the Word, and not hearers only…
-They learn to effectively share their faith…
-They don’t have a spirit of fear…
-But of power, love, and a sound mind…
-You save them…
-You call them with a Holy Calling…
-You provide safety for them, day and night…
-They walk in the Light as You are in the Light…
-You purify their hearts…
-They follow after righteousness, faith, love, and peace.
-They have favor and high esteem with God and man.
Amen!
2 Timothy 2:22-25
“Run from temptations that capture young people.
Always do the right thing.
Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with.
Worship with people whose hearts are pure.
Stay away from stupid and senseless arguments.
These only lead to trouble,
and God’s servants must not be troublemakers.
They must be kind to everyone,
and they must be good teachers and very patient.
Be humble when you correct people who oppose you.
Maybe God will lead them to turn to Him and learn the truth.”
(We did a human video drama of this song for Fine Arts Competition several years ago…)
So Powerful!!
John 19:35
“The man who saw it
has given testimony,
and his testimony is true.
He knows that he tells the truth,
and he testifies so that you also may believe.”
The gates and doors were barred And all the windows fastened down I spent the night in sleeplessness And rose at every sound Half in hopeless sorrow And half in fear the day Would find the soldiers breakin’ through To drag us all away
And just before the sunrise I heard something at the wall The gate began to rattle And a voice began to call I hurried to the window Looked down into the street Expecting swords and torches And the sound of soldiers’ feet
But there was no one there but Mary So I went down to let her in John stood there beside me As she told me where she’d been She said they might have moved Him in the night And none of us knows where The stone’s been rolled away And now His body isn’t there
We both ran toward the garden Then John ran on ahead We found the stone and empty tomb Just the way that Mary said But the winding sheet they wrapped Him in Was just an empty shell And how or where they’d taken Him Was more than I could tell
Oh, something strange had happened there Just what I did not know John believed a miracle But I just turned to go Circumstance and speculation Couldn’t lift me very high ‘Cause I’d seen them crucify Him Then I saw Him die
Back inside the house again The guilt and anguish came Everything I’d promised Him Just added to my shame When at last it came to choices I denied I knew His Name And even if He was Alive It wouldn’t be the same
But, suddenly the air was filled With a strange and sweet perfume Light that came from everywhere Drove the shadows from the room And Jesus stood before me With His arms held open wide And I fell down on my knees And I just clung to Him and cried
Then He raised me to my feet And as I looked into His eyes The love was shining out from Him Like sunlight from the skies Guilt in my confusion Disappeared in sweet release And every fear I’d ever had Just melted into peace
He’s Alive! Yes, He’s Alive! Yes, He’s Alive, and I’m forgiven Heaven’s gates are open wide He’s Alive! Yes, He’s Alive! Oh ,He’s Alive, and I’m forgiven Heaven’s gates are open wide He’s Alive! Yes, He’s Alive! Hallelujah!! He’s Alive! He’s Alive, and I’m forgiven Heaven’s gates are open wide He’s Alive! He’s Alive! He’s Alive! I believe it!! He’s Alive! Sweet Jesus!!
John 20:19
“On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the disciples were together,
with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders,
Jesus came
and stood among them and said,
‘Peace be with you!’
After He said this,
He showed them His hands and side.
The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.”
Acts 1:8-11
“But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.
After He said this,
He was taken up before their very eyes,
and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going,
when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
‘Men of Galilee,’
they said,
‘why do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus,
who has been taken from you into Heaven,
will come back
in the same way you have seen Him go into Heaven.’”
Every tree and every stone Every rushing wind that moans They sing Your praise My God, they sing Your praise Every star and open sky Tell of Your Glory Divine They shout Your praise They shout Your praise, yeah
You’ve stolen my heart Yes, You have! You’ve stolen my heart Yes, You have! You’ve wiped away the stains And broke away the chains Yes, You have!!
With Your love, You set me free Three nails gave me liberty So I’ll sing Your praise This is all for You Oh, with Your love You forgave my sin Forgot my past And brought me back again So I’ll sing Your praise I’ll sing Your praise, yeah
If I ascend into the sky Or hide behind the night I can not run, Your love is chasing me If I fall into the sea Your hand will rescue me No one will take Your place Because…
This is all for You Yes, this is all for You You’re the King of the world You’re the King of the world
