Icthus has been my home away from home for over 20 years. I spent time there, as a student, when I was in high school, and went on to serve on staff for 3 summers, while I was in college. I’ve been on countless other retreats, at Icthus, as an adult. It’s where I met my husband and where we got married. It’s the place where I first encountered the power of the Holy Spirit and the place I learned that signs and wonders weren’t just for stories written in the Bible. It’s a sanctuary and a peaceful place to shelter. I am so thankful for the Dingle family and how they have stewarded the presence of the Lord at Icthus. Their faithfulness to create this space has been a gift to me and to countless others. Learning from them has taught me to trust the voice of the Father and to build my life on what he says. -Bethany Wallace

Bill and Edith do a tremendous job of stewarding a place for people to encounter Jesus. It’s truly a remarkable place for people to come and experience the Father’s affection for them. I have led students, worship teams and men’s retreats to Icthus for 16 years and I am so thankful for this haven in the mountains.
