Retreat Speaker | Wes Vargas
Wesley Vargas graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1975 and worked for Cargill Inc. in the grain and sugar trading business for the following 38 years. While with Cargill, he moved to several US cities as well as overseas to Mexico City and Geneva Switzerland. During his professional career, Wesley focused on the study of the Holy Scriptures and was ordained to the ministry in 1987. He pastored a home church for 10 years, elected to the Eldership Board at an English-speaking church in Ferney, France and co-pastored at a church in Hollywood, Fla. Since he retired from Cargill in 2013, Wesley continues to teach and preach the Word of God at local churches, conferences and Christian camps throughout North and Latin America and Europe. Wesley is married to Rosie and has 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren.
There is a battle that each and every one of us face day in and day out. While living our lives and making decisions are we simply "conforming to the pattern of this world" or do we choose to experience the "transformation" offered by God "by the renewing of our minds?" Come join us as Wes Vargas leads us to consider God's offer of renewal & transformation in the face of our natural tendency to simply conform. You won't want to miss out on this time of rich fellowship with other men, time for small groups to share our stories and ideas with each other, time to worship with one another, and a time for recreation and renewal!
