The Hydes’ ministry is to reach out to the soldiers and staff at the Wounded Warrior Program at Fort Hood. They also provide retreats to the soldiers and the chaplains at Fort Hood. To meet the needs of the Fort Hood Community, these retreats focus on spiritual fitness, marriage, leadership, communication, and preparing singles for marriage. The schedule of activities varies. The most popular days for retreats tend to be Wednesday and Friday. The retreats run from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Friday evening and Sunday afternoon are Bible study and fellowship times.
