The ministers and their wives from Retreat and Elsies River Bishop areas gathered at Dennekraal Conference Centre on Saturday 28 November 2009.

 There they were joined by Apostle J Kriel and Bishops G James and N Warner.
This normally collar-and-tie group was in for a day of fun and excitement. For once they let their hair down with a dive in the swimming pool and participation in fun-filled games. The Apostle strengthened the hearts of the ministers with a Watch Word for their area, which brought about great encouragement for the time that lies ahead.
