The mission of HeartLife Ministries is to strengthen the body of Christ through teaching, preaching, and reaching hearts with sound doctrine and programs that positively impact wholesome Christian living. One of our greatest efforts is to support and enhance the marriage union. We believe that God’s original design is not only essential for healthy families, but it is also essential for healthy communities. Much of the peril we see in our communities today is as a result of the serious attacks contemporary society has experienced with the nuclear family!
.
To that end, each year HeartLife Minisries sponsors a Marriage Retreat where couples have the opportunity to “get away” from their regular routine in a beautiful setting and fellowship with other couples, attend life-changing seminars, have fun, network, and rekindle their love and passion.This year’s theme: “Are You Ready for an Upgrade!” This year’s retreat will be October 22 through 24, 2010.
Next week we will be featuring testimonies of previous attendees, as well as our Marriagee Retreat sponsors Until then we request your prayers that God will enable all those who desire to attend and more importantly all those who need to attend the means to do so. Over the years we have seen many couples who were on the verge of separation and even divorce alter their decisions after attending the marriage retreat. Particularly in these very diffcult times, the stresses upon marriage are great and these kind of events are just what is needed, yet many can’t afford another thing in their already strained budget. In times past we have had supporters who believe in this ministry to support couples who otherwise would not be able to attend. If you would like to be one of those sponsors, also let us know.

10 “This is what the Lord says: You have said, ‘This is a desolate land where people and animals have all disappeared.’ Yet in the empty streets of Jerusalem and Judah’s other towns, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and laughter. The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will be heard again, along with the joyous songs of people bringing thanksgiving offerings to the Lord. They will sing,
‘Give thanks to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
for the Lord is good.
His faithful love endures forever!’
For I will restore the prosperity of this land to what it was in the past, says the Lord.Jeremiah 33:10-11 (NLT)
Amen and Amen,
Maria
