Do you know those who feel like their lives are an ash heap of nagging regrets, betrayed trust, past trauma, and devastating loss that is punctuating a profound sense of hopelessness and worthlessness? Do you feel called to help those whose lives, marriages, and families feel like a “waste place” with no prospect of change?
God is in the business of breathing hope and restoration into the place of darkest devastation. He majors in rebuilding broken things. He specializes in transforming barrenness into fruitfulness. He has power to transform ash piles into gold, silver, and precious stones for His glory.
And He is calling for wall builders in every generation. He wills to turn the waste places into a Garden of Eden for His Name’s sake (Ezekiel 36:35)!
Has God given you such a burden for restoring hope and helping to rebuild “waste places” in the lives of traumatized children, betrayed spouses, and defeated believers? Are you in need of such a miracle in your own life?
Stop resigning to an ash pile of defeat, regret, and despair as the final verdict!
Become a wall builder!
Make plans now to join us for our 7th annual Biblical Counseling Training Retreat at Camp Joy in Whitewater, Wisconsin, on August 20-22.
