2026 Leader & Spouse Retreat

      Pastors, directors, and provincial and national leaders from Alberta and Saskatchewan, along with their spouses, participated in a retreat in Banff, Alberta. The 85 participants met October 19-22 amid beautiful mountains and green forests. The theme of the event was Jesus Is Enough—The Hope Of The Gospel And The Daily Grind. The sessions included:When There’s No Gas In The Tank

• When Contentment Is A No-Show
• When Joy Is Just Out Of Reach
• When Failure Looms Large
• When Faith Is Fragile 

     Sessional speakers included Gloria Woodward (MB Seminary), Cam Stewart (CCMBC National Director), Ken Esau (National Faith & Life Director) and Bruce Enns (MULTIPLY General Director). Participants also heard testimonies from Pastors Gary Burke, Doug Hacking and Mike Engbers. These leaders all pointed to Christ Jesus as being enough in their difficult circumstances.

 
     Participants expressed thankfulness for the rest and renewal they experienced at the retreat. Some said the fellowship was wonderful and the speaker and testimonies were inspiring. The next Banff retreat will be in October 2028.
