The concept of Redeeming the Time brings a new perspective to your daily life. It fills you with purpose, power, and peace in today’s hectic world. Everything in your life takes on a new agenda. And you learn how to redeem your life, your relationships, and your time.
Do you desire to buy back all the wasted—seemingly ruined—opportunities in your past? In our website ( www.redeemingthetime.org ) and in all our resources, I share the redeeming the time principles that God revealed to me. One step at a time I learned to let go of yesterday and claim God’s grace and promises for today. And that’s what redeeming the time is all about—buying back the past and focusing on the future!
I look forward to seeing you all!

Registration is from 2:00 pm-2:30 pm CST time on Friday. Lunch will not be available at the conference center on the Friday that you arrive. We recommend arriving at the beginning of registration to give yourself time to settle in and unwind before the first session begins.

What airport do I need to fly into? Is there transportation to and from the airport?
Love Field is the closest airport, but not all planes have access to this field. It’s about 1 ½ hour drive from Love Field to The Oaks. There is also DFW airport which is a little further, but more planes use it. The conference center is located about 1 ¾–to 2 hours away from DFW. We suggest you get together with your friends and rent a car to continue to The Oaks.
Can I come in a day early or stay a day later at the conference center?
Due to travel time and flight schedules, some of you may need to arrive early or stay later. Unfortunately, The Oaks Conference Center cannot accommodate you except for the days of the retreat. There are many beautiful hotels in Dallas that we know you’ll enjoy.
What should I bring?
You will need a Bible, legal pad or note pad, pen/pencil and comfortable clothes and shoes. We will supply sheets, towels, and lots of love. It is beautiful and quiet here. You’ll want to walk up and see the horses or sit in the swing at sunset. There are benches under the trees that are around the cross. We pray you will choose to spend some time alone around the cross.
You may choose to swim in the pool, so bring a bathing suit (no bikinis allowed) and a beach towel. There is also a boat and a paddle boat you can use.
Is smoking, alcohol, drugs, or guns allowed at the conference?
No. The conference center does not allow smoking, alcohol, drugs or guns in the rooms or on the grounds of the conference center.
What if I have special dietary needs?
The conference center cannot make special meals, but they keep food allergies/intolerance in mind when making the menu for the group. We provide a small refrigerator and a microwave availble in the kitchen area for attendees who need to bring a few items with them to supplement their meals.
