Kardia Ministries with Sam and Geri Laing

Welcome to our web site!

We are excited to launch our web site, and hope that it helps you to learn more about our ministry of speaking, writing and encouragement. We are still in the process of getting our site underway and plan to use this tool to supply you with an abundance helpful, inspiring articles and with information about our upcoming seminars, retreats, cruises and speaking engagements. Please bear with us as we get our site up to speed. We are still in the early stages of creating what will be a comprehensive presentation of our ministry – a ministry devoted to  those who desire a vibrant faith and a vital spiritual life, and to those who desire to build strong families and marriages. Thank you to the many of you who have encouraged, supported and helped us in our ministry – A ministry “from the heart to the heart!”

Cruise Date Announced: October 2-9, 2010

We believe this could be one of the most inspiring and redefining weeks of your life. To learn more, keep reading. We hope you join us for Those Who Dream 2010!

We are a generation of dreamers. We grew up believing the world could be a better place, and that we could make it so. We wrote the music, sang the songs, poured out our hearts and lives, and gave it our best. It was great, it was fun, it was exhilarating -- what a time to be alive!

Now, our kids are growing up, our nests are emptying, and we are looking at some significant years ahead - what will we do with them? Have our hearts ceased their dreaming? Are we going to tamely coast home to the finish line? We don't think so!

Let's come together to remember, refocus, regroup, and reload. Let's take some time to relax and enjoy ourselves, and, in company with those of like mind and life experience, get a fresh vision and dream some new dreams for what lies ahead. Our best years are yet to be!

And that is what this cruise is all about. You will come home revived, renewed, recharged, and restored...it may just be the trip that marks a new beginning, an event that helps make the rest of your life's journey the best years you ever live.

The schedule will be designed to give you just the right balance of inspiring and helpful teaching coupled with plenty of time to relax. One of the greatest pleasures of these kinds of cruises is the opportunity to bring along friends and family to share the time together. And, with the kinds of folks that will be attending the seminar, you will find the fellowship at mealtimes and throughout the week a real plus.

There will be many opportunities to debark the ship and spend time in the charming communities along the eastern seaboard. There's always an authentic lobster bake going on somewhere! As we cruise the coastline we get to enjoy the beautiful landscape, the fall colors, the lighthouses and all the amenities of the ship itself.

We will send you a detailed program as the time approaches to sail. We're going to give you a sampler below, but don't worry - we probably won't attempt to cover all of these - and they won't be offered back to back! We have seven whole days! Some of the topics, classes and speeches:

• The Best Is Yet To Be
• Rebuilding, Retooling, Restarting
• Back on the Edge: Living a Fun, Adventurous Life
• Marriage: Finding the Fire Again
• Parenting Our Grown Children/The Good Grandparent
• Mentoring the Next Generation: Our Duty and Our Privilege
• Stepping Out on Faith/Casting Our Bread On the Water/Taking a Risk
• Getting Past the Past
• Remembering to Reconnect - the Value of Lifetime Friendships
• Getting the Most Out of Your Years - Health, Vitality and Energy
• What You Have to Offer Right Now: The Great Discovery
• Free Your Mind: The Power of Godly Thinking

Cruise Report: LOVE IN PARADISE 2009

Lots of love…Plenty of Paradise!!

Feb. 5-9, 2009

When we planned Love In Paradise 2009, we thought we had a pretty good idea going, but we had never done anything quite like it. Well, yeah, we had done tons of marriage weekends…but they were always on dry land, didn’t go quite this long, and were sponsored by churches. So, we just put it out there, prayed, and held our breath.

We had twenty couples sign up and show up…and we have to say…this thing was one of the highlights of our year…naaaah….our decade.

We had folks from all over – Florida, Georgia, New York, Texas, Maryland. We had every age group, from twenty-somethings to sixty-somethings. And we all came home renewed in our marriages, rested in body, spirit and soul, refreshed in our walk with God – and with some new friendships formed and some old ones renewed along the way. And did I say we just flat-out had fun?

Let me be quiet and let the people and the pictures speak for themselves.

Delightful! Delight Full!

- Ron and Lisa

This marriage cruise was our first and we enjoyed it so much. We connected in a way we haven’t since our honeymoon! We not only grew closer to each other but got to know so many other Christian couples.

- Angela

Absolutely wonderful! Such an inspiring week of building our marriage as well as strengthening our relationships with other couples.
