RV Park: A great option for community.

We told you a little about Word of Life Florida’s RV Park in previous issues. Here’s some more from two Bible Institute alumni who have made the RV Park their home. If you’re reaching retirement age and are looking for a Christian community to be a part of, visit http://flconference.wol.org/content/rvpark.

Bob and Suzanne Hazard have been involved with Word of Life since 1974, when they spent a week’s vacation at Word of Life Inn shortly after getting saved. They enjoyed their time at Word of Life so much that, 10 years later, Bob resigned from his job in law enforcement and moved with Suzanne and their three children to New York to attend the Bible Institute.

Bob and Suzanne loved their year at the Bible Institute, where they became grounded in the Word and grew close to many people. They even considered moving overseas to Australia, but that door did not open, and they instead settled in southwest Florida. After seeing two of their children attend the Bible Institute (and meet their spouses there), they looked into Florida’s RV Park as retirement neared.

Bob and Suzanne say they could not have retired to a better place. "It's like being at the Bible Institute all over again," Bob says. RV Park members can hear all the world-class speakers who come to Word of Life, attend Bible Institute classes, and use the recreational facilities.

Bob and Suzanne are also active outside the RV Park community. They joined Idlewild Baptist Church, and Bob rides a motorcycle, a lifelong passion, with friends from church and the RV Park. Suzanne leads a water aerobics class and has made many new, like-minded friends. It has been the perfect setting for their silver years.
