The Missionary Community, Pastor Joe Novenson (the speaker), and Barb and Friends (the group who lead the children’s program) together at Kaliko Beach for the 2011 Missionary Retreat.
Kaliko Beach is a resort about two hours north of Port au Prince. It is a beautiful location set right on the Caribbean Ocean where we spent Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning. We had bible teaching sessions each day (one each on Thursday and Sunday and two each on the full days) and we had afternoons free to explore the area, rest in air conditioned rooms, play in the beautiful pool or swim in the gorgeous blue Caribbean. Some of us toured an old sugar mill that had lots of interesting historical artifacts and relics left from its days as a mill and another group took a boat ride out to an island and went snorkeling. Saturday evening we had a talent show and saw a lot of fun performances. On several evenings some of the group stayed up on into the early hours of the morning playing games. It was a great time getting to know one another as a community, building new friendships and strengthening others. It so many ways it was a refreshing weekend for all who attended.
You can view a few pictures from the hotels website here. Its in French but if you click around on many of the other pages you can also catch glimpses of the facility, food, and other activities.
