MPM's 40th Anniversary Celebration Retreat
July 17-19, 2026 | Three Trails Ranch
|
Over 40 years ago Russ and Linda Akins, along with a Board of Directors, a young lawyer, and their 3 children, trusted God to start Master Plan Ministries, a Christian nonprofit ministry dedicated to "preparing others to reach and influence the world for Christ".
Over those 40 years, thousands of students on the Durango, Grand Junction, Denver, Albuquerque, and Alamosa college campuses were reached with the Gospel and hundreds were discipled and trained toward helping fulfill the Great Commission. On July 17-19, 2026 we are going to gather at Master Plan's Three Trails Ranch in Durango to celebrate this milestone by reconnecting with Master Plan friends; new and old. We'll hear testimonies and see photos from the past 40 years. We plan to sing praise to God together in the mountains and enjoying meals together like we have been doing for four decades. Saturday night, we play to share the Vision for expanding the Dining Hall and the future of Master Plan Ministries. There will be an invitation to invest in the future of MPM, but there is no obligation to give financially. We really want you to be part of a fun celebration! Tentative Schedule
