Pastors' Wives' Retreat

Refresh...Restore...Reflect His Glory

September 13-15, 2011 at Camp Tadmor

Online Registration is Now Available!

For women whose husbands are in pastoral or missionary ministry including those between churches, widowed or in retirement.

Our speaker: Beth Niquette

Beth Niquette and her husband Alan have lived in Independence, Oregon for over 10 years with their three adult children, Jeni, Kyndi and Stetson. Beth has a love for history and is a commissioner on her town’s Historical Preservation Commission. The oldest of six children and a free-lance artist and writer, Beth frequently co-teaches journaling workshops with her mother, author Eva Gibson.

Though often on the road performing biblical drama with her husband, Beth also finds time to speak on a variety of subjects. Alan and Beth have co-authored a 34-lesson Bible study for teens, with corresponding teacher's manual, Building Your Christian Defense System.

In the fall of 1991, Alan and Beth were led from the pastorate into full-time drama ministry with Dramatic Difference Ministries, Inc. Since then, they have staged original drama programs in local churches across the nation. Their first production, He Makes Me Laugh, has been performed nearly 300 times and their ministry has touched thousands of people. Their repertoire includes drama (six original plays), creative pulpit supply (including dramatic vignettes), retreats and seminars.

The Bible is full of references to joy–calling us to reflect Christ with faith, singing, celebration--often regardless of impossible circumstances. Where does this kind of joy come from? Beth Niquette will share practical steps which help us to reflect the beauty of Jesus’ face in the midst of the storm.
