VisionQuest Tour 2011

Some of you may have heard about our new initiative, VisionQuest, which we launched last year. We will be hosting a team of business/professional people to visit the mission field in Honduras to experience first-hand the work that missionaries are passionate about. This trip will be for eight (8) days. The dates of the trip will be sometime within the first three weeks of November, 2011. Once we have identified the interested parties wanting to join VisionQuest, we will firm up the dates with our Travel Agent.

Many business/professional people have a heart for missionaries and their work but cannot see themselves actually going on a mission trip. "Roughing it" is not something they are inclined to do. However, VisionQuest offers a much more comfortable experience without the challenges of accommodations and food preparation.　Participants will stay in a nice hotel with fine dining. No sleeping in tight quarters. And for those who want to continue their stay, they can take in a tourist destination at the end of the tour.

Individual participants can expect to pay around $2150.00 and couples to pay $1800.00 each. These prices may vary depending on the best deal available at the time of booking our flights.

IMPORTANT DATE: JULY 1, 2011:::  If you are interested in being part of our 2011 VisionQuest you need to let us know before July 1st, 2011. Just drop me an email, admin @ hissecretplace.ca,  requesting information on VisionQuest or call toll free at 1-888-913-2561 x3.

Do you know of someone who would like to be a part of VisionQuest?

His Secret Place, "a Mission to Missionaries" a blessing from the Lord.

M2M's 2010 event was a great success again this year. Attendees were treated to a wonderful time of rest and relaxation, topped with fun activities, times of worship and a sense of the Lord's direction for their lives in missions. The volunteers were equally blessed to participate in the lives of the attendees by being available to listen, and give words of encouragement and to serve them with honor.

M2M Prayer Letter - March 2010

Well, Praise the Lord, we are about to launch our second M2M in Rocky Harbour, NL. As you are aware, last years M2M was a huge success. I believe this was an answer to the many prayers coming from you and others in the Body of Christ. This is a faith-based ministry and every plan has to be covered in prayer, submitted to the Lord, and then we trust that He will establish our steps.

In the upcoming months leading to M2M 2010, I will be sending out prayer letter requests covering the various areas needing prayer, and asking guidance from the Holy Spirit. I welcome your feedback and comments in this process. So, please feel free to email me regarding anything that you would like to share.

Here are the prayer requests:
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

 Applications to reach those that the Lord has purposed to be at M2M 2010
 Finances that will be required to accommodate at least 15 participants ($850.00 per person)
 Presently, we are short one day in the booking at the hotel where we hold our event. The Lord willing, we would like to have the following dates… August 31 - September 5. That totals 5 nights and 6 days. Prayer answered. New dates: Aug 29-Sept 3.
 The Church, as a whole, in Canada and abroad to catch the vision of M2M, to engage with their prayers and resources, and to consider having their missionaries attend this time of rest and relaxation.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to keep these requests before the Father asking for Big Grace to be poured down on this ministry.

The dates for our M2M 2010 event are official...

The dates for this next M2M Event have been set! The event will take place at Ocean View Hotel, Gros Morne National Park, from Aug. 29th-Sept. 3rd. It was "touch and go" for awhile as we waited for the fifth day to become available. The hotel manager,Todd Wright, worked diligently to successfully identify 5 overnights and 6 days for our missionary guests.

Now that the dates are set, we can move ahead and spread the word that we are ready to receive applications from missionaries desiring to attend this years M2M. Praise the Lord.

New application fee introduced...

Upon the recommendation of IAM's Adhoc Advisory Committee, this years M2M 2010 will ask it's applicants to accompany their application with a refundable fee of $50.00. This is not the usual way of handling application fees. In this case, applicants will be refunded their $50.00 fee upon their successful completion of the process. In other words, when the missionary arrives at the event they will be refunded their money. Unsuccessful applicants are those who withdrew their application after they had been selected for reasons such as being unable to come up with their transportation costs, change of plans, etc. However, consideration for refund will be given to unsuccessful applicants who can prove a family death or health reasons which prohibits them from attending M2M. Also, if an applicant is declined by the M2M committee, they too will be refunded their full application fee.

The refund of the application fee to successful applicants is unusual but it falls in line with our hearts desire to keep the expense of this experience as low as possible for the missionary. Also, it helps filter out non-serious applicants thus improving our capability to administer the selection process. We use a rule of thumb, first come - first served, but we hold the right to be flexible on that rule at our own discretion. For example a missionary who has been in the field for 10 years without a break, and one who is in missions for three years.

Mission to Missionaries events depend on generous donations from churches, organizations, and individuals to pay for the operational expenses i.e. event activities, food and accommodations. Ninety days prior to the event start date, donations for the event will be calculated and the number of attendees we can invite will be determined. The minimum number of attendees for any one event will be fifteen (15).

Heads-up... M2M 2010

Well how time flies... so goes the saying. When I look back to September 2009 M2M it surprises me that it was just 5 months ago when we held our first M2M. It seems like time is not flying when we are into doing things for the Lord. We should be able to do a lot in a short time then. So lets take this time and make it count for His Purposes.

Folks... I am excited! And I am full of faith believing that the Lord is going to meet the needs of this years M2M as well as He done last year. But we must do our part and put plans in place for another successful, Holy Spirit guided M2M for 2010. I cannot take it for granted that we can just let things fall where they may and the Lord will take care of it all. He NEEDS all that we are willing to give to make this another successful time of refreshing for our missionaries. You only need to listen to the testimonies of last years attendees that expressed their appreciation, and know that this is a ministry worth repeating.
