GOD MADE ME FOR HIS GLORY

From June 23-24, Chicago HBF held its summer retreat entitled “God Made Me For His Glory,” based on Genesis 1-2, in Indiana and Michigan. Eighteen members attended. On the first day, they went hiking at the Indiana Dunes National Park and played at the beach. After a feast at a sushi and steak buffet, they went to a hotel in Elkhart, Indiana. Willy M. gave an evening devotion on Genesis 1:1-24, and Ire S. gave a morning devotion on Genesis 1:25-2:3. There was also praise led by Hannah A. and Sammy S. and prayer activities led by Yvonne L.

Then, they drove through the picturesque countryside to Silver Beach in Michigan. There they studied the Bible, listened to the message on Genesis 2:4-25 by Sam R, and wrote and shared their testimonies at the beach. The word of God opened their hearts to live for his glory this summer as hosts of the ISBC HBF program. M. Steven and Yvonne L. coordinated the retreat and paid for the hotel rooms. Thank God for his blessing upon us through this inspiring retreat!
