The CCF Retreat 2025 was held from Friday, January 10th to Sunday, January 12th during a beautiful snowy weekend at Joy El Camps and Retreats. Over 120 people attended with 9+ churches and 7 states represented (Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and Virginia). Praise God for gathering His people together!
The theme “Relentless” (1 Corinthians 15:58) was the focus for this weekend. Our guest speaker, Pastor Minh, shared about the "Four Relentless Truths" from 1 Corinthians 15
Relentless By His Grace
Relentless Through His Death and Resurrection
Relentless In His Victory
Relentless In His Service
Small group discussions after the sermons were a highlight, offering a chance to connect deeply with one another, answer thoughtful discussion questions, and lift each other up in prayer. The workshops on "Singles" and "Marriage" provided valuable insights, and we shared laughter and learning throughout the sessions.
Joseph Tran led Saturday morning devotions based on Ecclesiastes 3:1-14. We also had testimonies shared by Kim Garcia Ruiz, Lynn Tong, and Joshua Cueto. During the Missions Rally, Brenda Regalado shared a testimony on her short-term mission trip to Thailand. Anne Tran also came up to share about upcoming mission trips in Cambodia. (Please see resources below for more information on both).
Finally, the games, activities, and eating late-night ramen with amazing toppings created unforgettable memories as we bonded, laughed, and connected with one another.
This retreat truly left us well-rested and spiritually renewed, and we give great thanks to God for such a wonderful time together with our brothers and sisters in the Vietnamese Alliance Northeast (VANE). Thank you also to VANE’s subcommittee (Pastor Hiep, Tony, and Nate) for organizing this awesome retreat.
