A Weekend of Personal Retreat, Refreshment and Renewal is in Store for You
God continues to offer us hope, peace, love, faithfulness, and more through His Son, Jesus Christ in whatever circumstances surround us. A weekend awaits designed for women to step away from everyday life to spend focused time in His Word, be quiet in His presence, and enjoy being a little spoiled too. The staff ladies at Capernwray Harbour welcome women to join them to be refreshed, renewed, and recharged this spring during the Ladies Conference Weekends.
CONFERENCE SPEAKER
Lisa Dusing
Lisa and her husband Andrew have spent over 15 years serving with Torchbearers International: first in Canada, at Capernwray Quebec Bible Centre for nearly 12 years, and now currently at Timberline Lodge in Colorado. It was in their early years on staff at CQBC that Lisa came to truly understand what it means to live the Christian life through the power of the indwelling life of Christ, and counts it a great blessing to continue on in a ministry that so deeply impacted her life.
Wherever she is, Lisa has a heart for intentional hospitality, walking with women in discipleship, and a desire to pour into the lives of young adults as they build the foundations of their lives on God’s word.
Lisa and Andrew have three boys – Isaiah, Ezra, and Judah. If she’s not baking for her growing boys or having someone over for tea, you can find Lisa outside with her family hiking, mountain biking, and snowboarding in the Colorado mountains.
CONFERENCE TOPIC
1 John
Abiding in Him who is True
In a world full of loud voices and conflicting messages, it is easy for the true gospel to get twisted and distorted. This is a struggle the early church faced as well. In a few short chapters, the apostle John brings clarity and assurance to believers then, and to us now, that we may know what is true and have confidence in our position before God for eternity. John’s purpose for this letter is clear: that we would abide, stay, and remain in Jesus, who is True!
