Father and Daughter Retreat — Limited Space Available!

Join Dr. Voddie Baucham, Doug Phillips, Scott Brown, Geoff Botkin and a Panel of Visionary Young Ladies for the Father and Daughter Event of the Year!

The average father in America spends less than ten minutes a day with his daughter. He knows little about her life or her heart. He can quote detailed sports statistics and daily gas prices, but he has little or nothing to say of eternal value to his little girl when the two of them are alone — which is almost never. Is it any wonder that the average daughter is emotionally and spiritually disconnected from her father? She invests her own time in the pursuit of fantasy, peers, boys — anything that will fill the gaping hole created by the absence of godly, fatherly manhood in her life.

This father-daughter deficit has helped to place our nation in a cultural depression so great that we are suffering from the most significant family crisis in the history of our country. But that is only half the story.

Here is the other half: Christian families are in the business of defying popular trends and statistics. Spurred on by the Scripture’s discipleship directives, more and more fathers are setting aside the distractions of the world and are pursuing their daughters’ hearts. And when God turns the hearts of fathers to their daughters and daughters to their fathers, He is “mak[ing] ready a people prepared for the Lord” (Luke 1:17).

where & when:
That is why hundreds of fathers and daughters will be coming to the world-famous Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia, March 27-29 for the 2009 Vision Forum Ministries Father and Daughter Retreat.

A Time of Celebration
The Father and Daughter Retreat is a time of learning and fellowship, but it is also a time for celebration. Fathers and daughters can enjoy the world famous Callaway Butterfly Gardens; they will have time to enjoy long, meaningful walks; and, and they will participate in our Father and Daughter event Games.

A favorite part of this celebration has always been our signature “high tea.” Fathers and Daughters come dressed in their best as they enjoy a beautifully catered event, complete with assorted fine English teas, scones, tarts, cucumber sandwiches, and pastries. Each attendee is given their very own porcelain teacup to take home as a memento of this special occasion.

‘What He Must Be... If He Wants to Marry My Daughter’
This is the title of Dr. Voddie Baucham’s new book from which he will be drawing his messages at this year’s retreat. He is joined by Doug Phillips, Geoff Botkin and Scott Brown for the most powerful line-up of messages in the history of this event. Young ladies in attendance at this year’s retreat will also hear the testimonies of visionary daughters: Jasmine Baucham, as well as Anna Sophia and Elizabeth Botkin (authors of So Much More, and hosts of The Return of the Daughters).

Fundamental questions will be addressed:
