Family Fusion Hope
April 14-16, 2023
Are you grieving the loss of a child?
Muskoka Bible Centre is offering its first retreat ever for grieving parents. Our retreat facilitators, David and Lisa Elliott, truly understand loss and grief as they lost their own son, Ben, in 2009. Both their personal experience with loss, as well as their desire to walk alongside others who are mourning, is why they continue to do ministry together. This practical retreat will help you navigate steps towards healing on this unpredictable journey. We welcome parents to join us in this safe space as we walk, share, and care for one another.

He then attended Heritage Bible college and graduated with his Bachelor of Church Music with a minor in Theology. He and his wife Shaylyn were married 2 years ago. They live and minister together in Kitchener where Jacob is the pastor of Worship and Creative Arts at Grandview Church.
