When we arrived at SonScape, we were a broken husband and wife grasping for any glimmer of hope in our ministry and relationship. We were desperate for healing and had no idea where to begin. After 25 years in the ministry (with the last six being brutal), we had never had a true sabbatical or retreat. We hit a wall: mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. The past six years of constant crisis management, personal setbacks, losses, and betrayals had left our souls battered and hopeless. The time here at SonScape provided a life-saving respite from the unrelenting stress. We came away with tools that will help us continue our journey of seeking wholeness in Christ – in ministry, to one another, and the Church. We have hope again! I haven’t felt that loved and accepted in a long time. It was like water to my soul.
