Free Getaway for Pastors and Spouses

Hey everyone,
I wanted to take a minute tonight and share this free offer (Click the link on the bottom of the page) with you from my good friends at Cherokee Cove. Cherokee Cove is a great mountaintop retreat about 30 minutes outside of Boone, NC. Sam and Stu, who own and run the camp, have been a huge blessing to me, my family, and my church for the past several years. I went there on a mission trip a few summers ago and fell in love with the place and the people. I've gotten to be a part of building some of the facilities there (don't let that scare you off) and have enjoyed every moment I've spent there.

Sam and Stu Stephens have an incredible heart for families and those who minister to families, here and around the world.

The camp:
The camp itself is nothing fancy, but everything is kept in great condition by Sam, Stu, and the volunteers who run the camp. There are no 'frills' but you won't miss them. It is located on the NC/TN border and is a great place to get away from everything. The facilities include a guest cabin, bunkhouses, 7 small cabins in the 'marriage village', and some other private cabins, as well as rustic campsites.

The food:
One word: Incredible. This is not 'camp food'. Stu makes everything from scratch and is an accomplished chef and has opened several restaraunts. You will be fed well and if you're willing, may learn a thing or two.

What you'll do:
Whatever you want. Nothing. Spend time enjoying God's creativity. Go for a hike. Read. There are no scheduled activities at the camp, and not a lot to do onsite, but that is part of what makes it such a great place.

What you won't do: Won't be pressured to buy anything, bring your church to the camp, or donate anything. Sam and Stu truly have a heart for people in ministry and want to be a blessing. You will be blessed by their heart and passion for the Lord and families. If you are within a day's drive, I'd encourage you to take them up on this free offer for you and your spouse.
