New Ephesians 4 Project Grantee: Dusti Howell (Soto Ministries)

Congratulations to our newest Ephesians 4 Project Grantee: Dusti Howell (Soto Ministries)

Dusti Howell, and Soto Ministries, will be using the grant funds to help fund their 4th Annual “In Him” Men’s Retreat next February in Harriet, Arkansas. The retreat will include brethren from a variety of Church of God organizations and be a great catalyst for building relationships!

If you’re interested in attending, here are some more details about the event from Dusti:

The 4th Annual ‘In Him’ Men’s Retreat will be in Harriet, Arkansas from Feb 14-17, 2025 over the President’s Weekend, giving us an extra day. Join us here at SOTO (Shepherd of the Ozarks – https://www.sotocamp.com/) at 1343 Shepherd Ln, Harriet, AR 72639. SOTO is located about two hours south of Branson, Missouri. If you fly in, Harrison is the closest airport. Little Rock and Branson are the next closest airports.

Our non-denominational Sabbatarian event invites men (and their teenage sons) to join us for a profoundly uplifting weekend. SOTO is in a beautiful environment that has facilitated profound spiritual renewal for three decades now. Join us for interactive discussions, uplifting friendships and great food & fellowship. This unique small group experience begins on Friday night with the choosing scriptures and partners by lots, similar to the way the apostles learned that Matthias would replace Judas (Acts 1:26).

Several churches have agreed to help subsidize this event. The cost for the Friday to Monday retreat will be $105 for room and meals. If you pay before December 31, 2024, it will only be $85. We plan on preparing some of our meals to keep costs down and build camaraderie. We can sponsor those that are financially in need.
