The C.S. Lewis Institute Belfast/Edinburgh retreat at Drumalis (N.Ireland) is well underway... And what a blessing to be encouraged in Christ by Andrew Lazo and Christin Ditchfield Lazo.

Please be praying for the speakers, mentors, leaders and especially the fellows as they journey together in a year of heart and mind discipleship.

No one signs up for suffering, but what if your hardest seasons are the very things shaping your greatest depth? 🪵🔥

If you are walking through a difficult season or trying to make sense of a past trial, discover a thoughtful framework for how suffering can shape us for the better.

What a absolute delight to have Dr. Joel Woodruff, C.S. Lewis Institute President, give a seminar on 'Leaving a Dynamic Spiritual Legacy'. A deep, strategic and practical evening, provoking thoughts on who we can leave a spiritual legacy with and how, based on our beliefs, hope and values in Jesus and the Christian faith.
..because faith in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour is way to precious not to share!

Special thanks to Dr. Joel Woodruff, his lovely wife Dolly, and the faithful volunteers, Liza, Linda, Farayi and Farai.

And of course... all those who came along 🙏

(and thanks Neil for the pictures...the good ones 😆🙈)
