Men's Retreat | Wild in the Heart of Texas

February 10th-12th

A Men's Retreat based on the best-selling book, Wild at Heart by John Eldredge, will be happening the weekend of February 10th-12th. This is your opportunity to unplug from the distractions of life. And to see and hear who and what you are in Christ in ways you've never experienced before. This is not your typical men's retreat. You will begin to see and understand your life story, your strengths, the larger story that you are being called to fulfill. Join us for a life changing adventure that will awaken the warrior inside of you. Brought to you by PromiseLand West and Hope in the City.
