Testimonies from Previous Years:

“I can't express enough my appreciation for the retreat.  With God's blessings, it will be an event that will change the life of my son, my father, my family and ultimately my walk with my Lord and Savior.”  

“The messages and the events have given me a new perspective on my role as a Christian father and my duty unto my Lord to pass on my heritage on to my sons.”

“The experience of being with over 400 Christian men and sons was overwhelming!”

“The topics covered are crucial in these times. The setting was beautiful, accommodations comfortable, and the food bountiful and delicious.”

“God really moved me thru your messages to strive to be a better father, to spend more time with my son and daughter with the purpose of passing the baton – the Christian legacy that God has blessed me with as a first generation Christian.”

Scholarship Opportunities

If you would like your sons to attend the retreat with a trusted adult male of your choice (relative, church leader/deacon/elder/pastor) CHEC will provide a limited number of scholarships for your son to attend at no charge and reduce the adult’s registration fee to $150. If you’d like to provide money for a widow’s son to attend the retreat, please include your donation amount on the registration form.
