Long Lake Retreat
God's recipe for excellent health
With growing concern about what was being put into our food, I found myself searching for answers—and God led me to Annette Reeder and The Biblical Wellness Ministry, where everything finally began to make sense. When I felt God nudging me to take a step of faith, I had no idea how it would all come together, but each step opened another door. What began as a search for answers, became a journey of faith. My prayer is that this event will give others a starting place, and the resources to continue the journey of growing closer to God in the process.
