Invitation for Pastors to Join Chuck in Alaska!

I don’t do this often, but I’m excited about a great opportunity. I want to invite you, my fellow pastors, as well as your wives, to join Cynthia and me on Insight for Living’s upcoming cruise to Alaska, July 6–13, 2008. I invite you for a number of reasons.

I understand the pressures you face. It’s a world I understand, believe me. In spite of its immense privileges, the fishbowl can feel awfully small at times. It’s important occasionally to get away and rest. No messages to prepare. No Bible studies or meetings to lead. No output required or expectations to fulfill. Just a time for you and your spouse to rest and recharge . . . amidst some of God’s most beautiful creation. And here’s another plus: Nobody knows you in Alaska! Now’s your chance just to be a Christian for a week!

During our main gatherings, I’ll be sharing thoughts from Romans 6–8. You, more than most, know what a rich storehouse of practical words the apostle Paul recorded for us there! While you are enjoying these times together, the Insight for Kids team will be aboard to bring fun, entertainment, and biblical insights to your elementary-age children.  We’ll also enjoy times of laughter, worshipful music, great meals together, and in the evenings, marvelous entertainment by world-class artists and entertainers.

In addition, I will hold a couple of special sessions just for pastors and their wives. Maybe you have questions or concerns about your role, your soul, or your home. You need to know you’re not alone. I want the opportunity to encourage you personally. These intimate sessions will be times for us to come away as co-laborers in Christ and connect on matters we all understand. My wife, Cynthia, may even join me for one of these sessions. And, my good friend, Dave Carder, will also be available for all cruise attendees who may want some counseling.

Finally, a little extra bonus: We will give a very nice discount to all pastors and missionaries upon verification of your being on the staff of a church or missionary organization. Also, due to the generosity of one of Insight for Living’s donors, the first thirty pastors or missionaries to make reservations will receive an additional five hundred dollar discount toward the cost of the cruise!

I hope that you will join us. You will love it!
