"How do you describe something you can only understand by experiencing it? This is how I would sum up MOH Retreat. I was invited to spend time with men but given very little information about what we would be doing. Since I trusted the person who invited me I decided to accept the invite and treat it like an adventure. And what an incredible adventure it was. It was amazing the simple things God used to strip away callouses on my heart and renew a joy in my soul I had not felt in far too long. Building relationships with other men centered around the truth Christ not only preached, but participated in – experienced – was invigorating. The activities were designed to bring us to a place where we were experiencing in our hearts, souls, and spirit what so often is only experienced in our heads. Very simple, non-alarming, non-embarrassing exercises. The downtime with the guys was just as fulfilling as I got to know men on a deeper level than just a first name and what they did for a living. Eating dinner, playing games, or just sitting around and fellowshipping – it was all part of the great experience. I asked my son if he would like to go and with less information than I had he said yes. That was in April of 2014. When we came home I registered us for October and we both went again! It probably won’t surprise you that we are already signed up and eagerly awaiting the next one. Although the venue will be different we are excited about the opportunity to experience God’s great love through His people as we meet again. I have been to different retreats, both Christian and secular, several times over my life but I have never been to one so engaging that I really felt like a changed person when I came home. The ‘high feelings’ didn’t fade away because what was more life giving than just another great time away from home was connecting in meaningful ways with men, developing new relationships while building new ones which have endured. I highly recommend this retreat for men from 18 to 108! I am very thankful to Dave Walz for inviting me and my son. I hope we see you at the next experience!"

"An amazing experience. There is no better way to describe the retreat. In one weekend you will experience fun, love, brotherhood, God, and the Holy Spirit first hand. With every retreat being a different theme, you'll always get to experience something new and meet new people. I left the retreat with new friends, renewed, and a changed man. It doesn't get better than this."

"God saved my marriage through the Men of Honor Retreats! When I was invited to my first MOH Retreat by a close friend and co-worker, I had no idea the Holy Spirit was about to light a spark in my life that would grow to become a raging fire of a greater love for God, my family, friends, and all the individuals God places in my life each day. I accepted my friend's offer (he actually shoved me up against a wall at work and told me it was God's will and I HAD to attend) thinking I'd have a nice weekend at the Oregon Coast with some men of God that I'd never met before, and then return home and be done with it. Instead, the Spirit of God took me by surprise by forming bonds with my new brothers in Christ more deeply than I coukd have ever anticipated at a weekend retreat. Ever since my first retreat all those years ago, I return every six months to experience afresh what my Papa in Heaven has in store for the other men and me. His providential work of orchestrating each retreat stuns me every time as His power, grace, wisdom, healing, love, forgiveness, greatness, and intimacy is manifested in the midst of all the men. Not only does our awesome God work powerfully among us at each retreat, but the bonds of friendships that are formed over those weekends continue to strengthen me in my walk with God throughout the year. Many of the men I've met at the retreats have become some of my closest friends and "battle buddies." It was through these men of God, that in a time of marital crisis (our lowest point ever), God reached down by His Spirit through these faithful brothers and touched me in profound ways that facilitated healing, hope, reconciliation, and restoration with my wife and two teenage daughters. Not only did God save my marriage, He saved my life and changed my eternal destiny through the Men of Honor Retreats. I praise God for His work through the community of the Body of Christ!"

"I’ve been going to these retreats over the last 7 or 8 years. It has truly been transformational in my life. These retreats are unique in that they have no guest speakers, no program, and no agenda other than men sharpening each other in the presence of the Holy Spirit. What I found when I first attended was that I had to get out of my comfort zone, but in doing so, my faith was stretched and God used the other men to show me his love. I realized after attending the retreat that it is possible to have deep, meaningful conversation with other men, that men can open up to each other and be vulnerable. God has used these retreats to speak into my life through other Men of God. The amazing thing about these retreats is that I get so much from them every time I go, and it renews and strengthens my faith in a living God that is active in my life. I can honestly say that I am not the same man I was 6 months ago spiritually, and 6 months ago I would have said the same thing."
