Pack your bags and join the "In His Hands-World Tour 2010" October 1-3, 2010

At Alpine Camp and Conference Center Your guides during the 2010 Alpine Women's "World Tour" Conference will take you on a heart-opening and perspective-broadening excursion, discovering the meaningful ways God is at work in our lives and the lives of His daughters both down the street and around the world. As we tour, we'll encounter God in compelling ways through stories, images, conversations and encouragement to consider our part in impacting the world for His glory!

Karen Hallberg is a favorite at the Alpine women's retreat. An experienced communicator and spiritual mentor, Karen easily and authentically connects when conversing or teaching. Currently the Director of Mission Mobilization and Connection for the Evangelical Covenant Church, Karen is well versed in the realities women face both in the States and around the world.

Kelly Prudek has been a missionary in the Czech Republic for 11 years. She teaches English, works with women inmates and their families; and proactively engages with and ministers
to those suffering from the effects of human trafficking. Her stories are real, powerful and redemptive. Her grasp of God's mercy and grace is firm and well-delivered. Karen and Kelly will be team teaching on such topics as: What is Your Image of God?; Facing Your Fear; Accepting the You that God Loves Completely; and Trusting the Voice God Gave You.

Greetings from the 2010 Retreat Planning Committee!

We have a fabulous program planned for you this year with engaging guest speakers, fun activities and thought-provoking workshops.

Our guest speaker, Dawn Lindholm, has been married for over 25 years and is passionate about teaching God's Word and mentoring women to be all God has called them to be. We know you will find her biblical insight practical and encouraging. In addition, we will be joined by long-term Covenant Missionary, Kelly Prudek. Kelly has served in the Czech Republic for 11 years teaching English classes, working with female inmates and those trafficked into prostitution.

We know that God works in unique and amazing ways during a retreat, when women are away from the daily distractions of life. Mission Springs will be a tremendous opportunity for you to join together with others as we look to God to be transformed and refreshed by His "divine design that can be life altering" in every sense.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Blessings,

Stacy Mattson
Retreat Chairman
