June 2023 TVTD Newsletter

e9 - 6/6/2023

To Sum it up...

The Weekends have come and gone. All the preparation, prayers, crafts, many, many hands at work created a blessed and wonderfully successful Men & Women's #12 Weekends amidst a Winter Wonderland in McCall, Idaho.

God truly blessed our weekends and showed up in every little aspect. Lives were touched, hearts softened, tears shed, love found its way in. Hope was restored, fires were lit in lives that had been only simmering coals, or nearly out.

The Holy Spirit moved throughout the camp. Words were prayed and spoken from souls that yielded to the touch of the Holy Spirit. Plans were changed by the leaders who were lead in a different thread from where they had originally meant to take us, but now were being guided just where God wanted and needed them to go. 

It's an amazing process this thing called a Tres Dias Weekend. Like nothing ever experienced elsewhere. Something that is really quite hard to relate to anyone who has never experienced it. Something that a person forever wants to pay forward and share with others once they have experienced it. 

Time to start looking toward 2024 #13 Treasure Valley Tres Dias. It's never too early to start planning. :)

​Stay tuned for much more info....

Upcoming get together: SECUELA!

If you missed the Victory Secuela back in May, no worries, there is another Secuela coming up on JUNE 25th!

We had over 60 people attend our Victory Secuela in May and what a wonderful time of sharing and remembering it was! We heard from every new Pescador about how much the weekend had touched them and made a difference to their 4th day! It was awesome and inspiring!

       We also sang for a good 1/2 hour I think! :)
​            Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

So, Let's do It All Again!
SUNDAY, JUNE 25th, 2-4 pm at Payette United Methodist Church
Bring a finger food to share and wear your cross and nametag.
See you soon!
