The Maywood Missionary Retreat is sponsored by Double Springs, Ala., church of Christ and World Evangelism School of Missions. Wayne and Janet Barrier organize the details.
Wayne said there are three objectives for the retreat: relaxation, exchange of ideas and information, and education. Included in that relaxation is plenty of food, always on hand.
The retreat began in 2007, always held in the month of May.
The retreat is for missionaries, supporters and others interested in missions. It serves churches of Christ who follow the New Testament as the pattern for faith and practice.
