Missions: Joni & Friends Black Lake Bible Camp

August 19 - 23

Hosted by the Northwest office, Family Retreat is designed to serve families living with disability. Enjoy a fun, Christ-centered environment that is safe and accepting for each member of the family. This retreat will be held at scenic Black Lake, which offers kayaking, beach fun, tubing, climbing wall, boating, and so much more! Daniel Ritchie will be our speaker. He was born without arms and personally understands what it’s like to live with disability in light of the Gospel.

During this time of respite, you will build lasting memories and find renewed hope as you take part in Bible study, accessible activities, and opportunities to connect with other families who face similar challenges. Join us for a time of fun and refreshment—it’s a little slice of heaven.
