Jr.High Retreat
January 18-20, 2013
With Guest Speaker: Dr Don Bartlette
Dr. Don Bartlette has traveled extensively as a full-time public speaker throughout the United States and Canada sharing several presentations that relate to his Christian testimony for over 30 years. Married to a former special education teacher, he and his wife are the parents of seven daughters and one son, and have been foster parents to special needs kids.
His major presentation, titled Macaroni at Midnight, is a profile of Dr. Bartlette's experiences as an Indian child growing up with severe speech and physical handicaps in an environment of poverty, child abuse, family violence, racism and alcoholism. It has been shared over 5,000 times before local, state, national, and international groups and conferences. It highlights his becoming a Christian through the help of two women in his life. This presentation has been featured internationally on radio and film through "Focus on the Family," "The 700 Club, "The Old Time Gospel Hour," "Beverly LaHaye Live," and "100 Huntley St." Dr. Bartlette's testimony has also been highlighted in two films and through a stage production.
Prior to his travel ministry, Dr. Bartlette's professional career included over twenty years of working as a program director, administrator, direct-care supervisor, child-care worker, social worker and staff developer with troubled youth, minorities, families, and handicapped people. He is, by training, a social worker, a counselor, and an educator. He is listed in England's International Men of Achievement and Who's Who in the World.
Having received further training in theology and church ministries in Minnesota, Dr. Bartlette served as House-Church pastor on a metropolitan church and as an associate pastor for the American Indian Evangelical Church. He is involved with the National Association for Native-American Children of Alcoholics, Christian Home Educators of Ohio, and Children's Harbor in Alabama. He is a founding member of The Christian Council on Persons with Disabilities.
This Retreat is designed for Jr. High age youth groups to come together in the name of Jesus. We play hard, and worship hard. Highlights from past Jr High retreats include: tobogganing, indoor mini-golf, night games, and awesome speakers; just to name a few. If you don't have a group to come with, don't let that hold you back, we can make arrangements for you.
More information about this retreat will be posted in the coming months.
