Have you ever asked yourself
What is it that makes me truly come alive? Are you ready to rise above your circumstances or Do you feel you are being lived by your circumstances and need to break out of that box somehow? Do you sense that you are standing on a crossroad of your life and need some fresh direction? Is the life you live all that you hoped for? Or are you simply tired and in need of some genuine refreshment? Do you want something new and fresh for your holidays? Are you looking for both physical and spiritual refreshment? Then this three-week ‘adventure’ is for you!
Why would I go?
Faith, Fun & Fellowship is held in beautiful Kelowna, which is situated on the Okanagan Lake in B.C., Canada. Just imagine 140 km’s of water, orchards, vineyards and sun! Gods breathtaking nature, burden removing and yoke breaking teaching, lots of fun on the more than 120 km long lake, and hours of rich fellowship around great food, prepared and cooked by our cooks, make for profound life changing experiences in those attending this God appointed gathering! Marriages were restored and healed. Young leaders who joined us were challenged in their calling and have gone on their way serving God. Others who served with YWAM or other ministries for years received fresh inspiration and courage to continue what God had called them to do. Again others received fresh direction for their lives. Faith, Fun & Fellowship is renowned for life changing experiences for both young and old. That is why Anne-Marie and I are so excited about this "Faith Fun & Fellowship" gathering.
What can I expect?
Powerful teaching times with themes like, "What makes me come Alive?", "Finding and Walking in Your destiny", "There is more out there", "Waking the Giant within", "You are the Prophet of your own Destiny" covered by people like Peter & Anne-Marie Helms, Gord & Jan Whyte, Brad & Eden Jersak and others, will impact and change your life for ever. We will have times of the prophetic, creative worship sessions and soaking times that will help you to consciously become aware of the heavenly places we are seated in!
This is how it works
We have breakfast buffet from 9am-10am where you can also pack your lunch. Then at 10am we have a 15 minute devotion after which everyone is free to go and enjoy the rest of the day. You can swim in our 120 km’s long lake, water-ski, explore Peachland, visit the many vineyards and more. In the evening we serve a gourmet style meal on our balcony or deck and take time to fellowship and hang out with each other. After clean-up we will spend some time in creative worship, some teaching and/or looking at an inspiring movie, DVD or play some games as the Spirit leads. The weekends are free to relax and explore the Okanagan Valley, where the sun shines almost 2000 hours every year (More than in Hawaii) and where the temperatures are like in Southern France or Italy.

What others say!
"Faith, fun and fellowship is like a spiritual spa-resort. Bathing in the love of God, being nourished by the truth (and great food!) and relaxing with friends. You will be strengthened, refreshed and you will learn things that will impact the rest of your life!" (Swie Len Loo, NL)
My personal experience with Faith, Fun, and Fellowship is sheer abundance. After I brought myself to coming to Kelowna I hoped for the time to find back to God and to have some experiences with him. But it became so much more than I had asked for, so many experiences with God, a closer relationship to him, blessings through him, blessings through the Helms and the other people that became my friends and a time of refreshing and restoring. Looking back I would be willing to do the same again and again. (Kristina Kotzerke, BRD)
