HITTING THE TARGET.

Just back from leading another WILD AT HEART weekend with Chris Cartwright. As well as watching 8 DVD sessions from John Eldredge and his band of brothers, we enjoyed a high ropes course and some archery. Chris and I never cease to be amazed at how God breaks through into men's lives during this weekend. Especially powerful is the session when men share their 'wounds'. It was humbling to hear stories of brokenness from the participants-all involved in City Temple church but originally from Poland, the Congo, Malaysia, India, and Nigeria, as well as a few from Wales! What I love about Wild at Heart is that it's not about sin-management or rigid accountability, more about an adventure, a brotherhood. It's non-religious and allows blokes to be blokes. The introductory session when we talk about our favourite films and film characters never fails to get the guys talking and laughing, and another highlight was the testimonies from David and Richard who had both been on WAH weekends with us before. They spoke of the crossroads experience they had at WAH previously and how they've seen a positive change in their lives as Men of God since. I've been impacted by Wild at Heart over the last few years, no doubt about it, and it's brought Chris and me to a deeper and more vulnerable level of friendship.

Wild At Heart is great. My hubby has been doing it over 8 weeks and the change in him is astounding. In fact I have seen a change in all of the guys. Praise God for this tool.

I am glad that you have had a Spiritually rewarding weekend.
