Freddy is the author of a newly published devotional and study "Relentless Love".
Encouraging Words for Life's Journey is an 8-week Devotional Bible study including questions for self-reflection or group discussion.We all face times when we can use some encouragement. Relentless Love is an outpouring of God’s love in my life as I have heard and read what others have said, but most importantly from studying His Word. It can be used as a daily devotion or for a small group Bible Study. It is not intended to be in-depth, but rather to stimulate you to think about how God wants to encourage you in each reading. Freddy's prayer is that Relentless Love will be a tool God will use to encourage you as you journey through life! |

The entire weekend, beginning with the leaders portion, covers various relevant topics, but the underlying theme and heart of the ministry consistently points toward securing and nurturing a solid relationship with Jesus Christ. The worship, teaching, fellowship with other singles, along with the hikes and river tubing, together, make this retreat a highly valued, memorable experience." —Pastor Wes Reed, Newark, NY |
