President’s Council Weekend
Ritz-Carlton | Naples, Florida
February 19—21, 2027
Rest, Renewal, and Hope in Beautiful Southwest FloridaSpend a wonderful weekend away with us…
Step away from the everyday and enter a gathering designed to refresh your spirit, strengthen friendships, and renew our shared vision for the Gospel.
We will gather together at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida. Positioned on Florida’s Gulf Coast, among powder-sand beaches, this setting offers the perfect space to pause, reflect, and seek the Lord together.
Whether you come on your own, as a couple, or with family, this gathering will be a meaningful time of worship, teaching, and fellowship with friends who share a passion for the Gospel.
As we spend time together, we know God will meet us here. As we pursue Him, we are reminded that we are also called to pursue people. It is our great privilege to carry the Good News to those who have yet to hear. We look forward to encouraging you with stories of lives being transformed around the world and sharing the vision for the days ahead.
We hope to see you there,
Kevin, Andrew, and Wendy Palau
Let’s worship together…
Worship will flow naturally and powerfully, led by ministry friend Jon Reddick. Some of his well-known songs include I Believe It (The Life of Jesus), No Fear, and God, Turn It Around. He desires to bring people together through transparent worship. It’s a time to encounter God, be refreshed in spirit, and celebrate the work of His kingdom around the world.
