Sponsored by The OMG
The OMG 2023 Retreat was held at the Pike Community Campground, Aug 31-Sep 3. Thirty-one men signed up. The week before the retreat, The OMG was listed among the groups within The Inferno For Men collaborative organization in Southern Colorado.
Below are the YouTube videos we watched from Fr. John Riccardo, missionary and ACTS XXIX Executive Director. You can read more about Fr. John Riccardo and Acts XXIV here.
Father John is a founder of "THE RESCUE PROJECT," a global movement that launched in 2022. It flows from the conviction that the most urgent task in the Church is a compelling and attractive proclamation of the gospel.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. - Romans 1:16
