MEN’S RETREAT NERRIGA
10-12 APRIL 2026
In continuing our series of men’s retreats at Rob Fuller’s Belltana property in Nerriga, we bring two special guest speakers, with a timely message for all men.
Rob has spoken to each of the speakers and was greatly impressed by the messages for the men of today. He was so impressed he is offering a money back guarantee if the message doesn't hit the mark.
One of the speakers is Mark Soper who is from the Salvation Army Sutherland Shire. His message relates to a story about one the Bali Nine members, Andrew Chan. Mark and Andrew were close friends growing up as kids, and later, Mark played a key role in journeying with Andrew in the lead up to his court case and ultimately imprisonment. Mark spent time with Andrew and his father over Andrew's nine years in prison until his execution in 2015. Andrew's father observed Andrew being executed by firing squad. Mark brings a sobering and enlightening message of forgiveness from a completely left field position. Mark will leave a message of forgiveness through biblical stories, verses and parables.
Our other speaker, Geoff Thompson is the Senior Minister of All Saints Anglican church in Nowra. Geoff will also bring a focus on forgiveness from different perspectives. Mark and Geoff aim to intertwine their presentations while maintaining the primary focus on the bible’s teaching.
The weekend includes a kick off dinner at Nerriga Pub, meals on the property, 6 key sessions, with small group discussion, quiet time for reflection and activities, depending on weather, plus the gathering around the fireplace.
If you would like further details of the retreat, please get in touch with Graeme Duncan at church or on 0418 694 662 or Rob Fuller on 0425 252 550.

The Wild at Heart Experience - Hearts on Fire
Why is it that the desires that we find deep in our hearts are so far from the lives that we find ourselves living? Why is it that the movies that we love speak far more to us than our daily grind? There was a heart that we had as a boy, filled with wonder and dreams of battle, adventure and beauty. And somewhere in that process of boy to man, most of us lose heart. Maybe not all of our heart, but we lose big chunks of it. And in order to find the life we are still looking for, we have to go back. We have to get those lost parts of our heart back. This is a journey into wholeheartedness, and in the course of this journey it opens up a world that we have been waiting for.
The weekend will cover 6 key sessions, with small group discussions, quiet time for reflection and activities (depending on weather), plus gathering around a fireplace in a bush setting. Located one hour south of Nowra.
We have a limited number of spaces for men aged 18 and over on the weekend of Friday the 11th to the 13th of October, 2024.

Becoming a King Retreat - The Path to Restoring the Heart of a Man.
The Becoming a King Experience is a personal invitation to dive deeply into the mission of becoming the kind of man to whom God can gladly entrust the care of his Kingdom.
Every boy knows he was made to be powerful. As an acorn carries the blueprint of the oak tree, so the heart of every boy holds the possibility of becoming a wholehearted king whose strength brings goodness to all under his care. Yet the headlines often confirm what we know too well from our own stories: the anguished consequences of masculine power gone awry.
Masculinity is in need of restoration. But what is the way, and how can men find it?
The message of Becoming a King offers a path to restoring the hearts of men in the image of our strong, present, wise, and loving God.
Join us at the Belltana property in Nerriga as we venture together to recover your strength and restore your heart as a man.
The weekend will cover a kick off dinner at Nerriga Pub, meals on the property, 6 key sessions, with small group discussion, quiet time for reflection and activities, depending on weather, plus the gathering around the fireplace.
