"I am having the depressing experience of reading congregational descriptions of what churches want in a pastor. With hardly an exception they don't want pastors at all, they want managers of their 'religious company'. They want a pastor they can follow so they won't have to bother with following Jesus anymore." Eugene Peterson
In 1996 Dwayne had a clear call by God to develop a pastors retreat center. He and Rita ran a retreat center in Wisconsin for 4 1/2 years. With God's leading during this time they developed the self directed, 'non program' that is being used today.
From 2001 to the present the Hanon's, through Broom Tree Ministries, continue offering free retreats to pastor couples in various locations so that the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ may be strengthened.
