Program Presenters
The LifeSpring leadership team selects individuals who are visibly devoted and honorably exemplifying characteristics of what it is to seek fellowship with God. The presenters manifest the fruits of the Spirit as a result of that relationship.
We invite speakers from a variety of Christian backgrounds including Mennonite, Brethren, Catholic, and others. Presenters share their stories of God at work in their lives; offer thoughts and instruction on various spiritual helps and practices; facilitate thoughtful discussion among the retreatants; and encourage prayerful reflection of the retreat topic.
