2010 Fall Retreat at Fort Victory

We had a great time at Fort Victory for our 2010 Fall Retreat. Fourteen of us braved the frozen tundra to study, hang out, hike, eat, and enjoy the fruits of Morris Breed's work who built the Fort. Morris was an ordinary guy who had an extraordinary vision many years ago to build the Fort on his land on the St. Louis River near Aurora. This Fort was to be used for ministry to young boys in the Royal Rangers program at his church. Since then, many others besides young boys have benefited from his work.

You can see a few of the pictures of the Fort and of our retreat at:

Pastor Fred gave us two very challenging messages. The Friday evening message centered around men mentoring each other, and the Saturday morning message centered on the command given to us that as disciples of Christ, we are to guide other believers into true discipleship.

We recorded the study and hope to get it posted on the Cloquet Gospel Tab Website soon.

Many thanks to the Duluth Gospel Tab for continuing to maintain Fort Victory and making it available to us guys at Sharpening Iron.

Steps On the Journey  "Our Goal: To make disciples"...  Pastor Rich

"A number of you have signed up for the adventure! We're going to do a "beta" test on the curriculum for "Steps On the Journey"—our new, three-year discipleship effort. Read on for a quick overview of what we'll aim to do with this course."... Pastor Rich

This curriculum draws on several solid Christian resources to address the following priorities:

1. Teach foundational biblical truths—provide a solid overview of Christian theology.
2. Strengthen believers in their faith—develop mature disciples who live out their convictions in practical ways.
3. Train, equip, and empower individuals for ministry—provide opportunity to serve and release people into ministry.
