Main Speaker:

Born just three days before Christmas, her parents named her Love Noel.  Love is the daughter of Betty Gray and the late Rev. Elvin Gray, both veterans of the Christian Church ministry for over 60 years.

In 1979, Love graduated Cincinnati Christian University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Education.  Three months later she married the love of her life, Bill Lockman, who is the pastor of Bunker Hill Christian Church in Salem, Indiana.  Love serves alongside her husband in the church and is the Children’s Pastor.

Love has three sons. Andy,  lives in Ocala Florida and her oldest Billy and youngest Stevie, now live in Heaven.  Having recently lost her two sons, Love has realized the necessity of reaching out to hurting people and helping to mend broken hearts.

During the past 40 years, Love has become a much sought after Christian speaker.  Her ability to biblically challenge and encourage today’s Christian women is vital part of her ministry.  Love has become a crusader for restoring brokenness to beauty, and helping women to take the broken pieces of their lives and let God turn them into a beautiful mosaic.

Hello Ladies!

Just fluttering by with some exciting news!  Our annual White Mills Ladies Retreat is just around the corner.  Butterflies - A New Creation is our theme.  Join us September 14-16 as speaker, Debbie Roth from Rosemount, Minnesota helps us delve into God’s word to discover just how much He loves us in spite of all our imperfections and can transform us into HIS new creation.

Debbie is a wife, mother, grandmother, singer, speaker, and a published author. In 2005 she began Rest In Him Ministry as a way to turn the miseries she had experienced in her life into a ministry of hope and restoration. We know you will enjoy hearing Debbie as she weaves Biblical teaching, personal testimony, encouragement, and the singing of hope-filled Chrsitian songs into her talks.

Speaking of new creations, this year we are trying something new. We've added an extra day! The retreat will begin on Thursday evening at 7pm.  Join us for a relaxed time of fellowship, games, and signing around the campfire followed by a full day of activities on Friday and ending on Saturday afternoon. So grab a friend, pack your bags, and prepare to be transformed!

See you soon!
- Lisa
