The Purpose and Vision
This is a spiritual formation retreat geared to fostering our formation into the likeness of Christ. We seek to behold Him so that we may be made more like Him. It is a journey to greater intimacy with God. It is a journey that we take individually and collectively with other sisters.
It is our desire that you will have an encounter with God that will bring rest, peace, refreshment, and transformation to your soul. That you will know and experience God’s love for you. As you gaze upon Him, you will see the beauty He has placed in you.
We are all on the journey of becoming like Jesus. We pray that this will aid you on that journey, and you will find yourself one step closer to that goal and greater clarity in discerning God’s voice/leading. Also, in the process, get to know some new sisters in Christ.
Enjoy the ride and trust the Holy Spirit to move through the process.
The retreat is centered around these key verses:
“For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, that He might be the first born among many brethren.” (Romans 8:29 NASB caps added)
“But we all with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord ARE BEING TRANSFORMED INTO THE SAME IMAGE FROM GLORY TO GLORY, just as from the Lor, the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:18 NASB caps added)
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me..” (John 10:27 NASB)
“…the sheep follow him because they know his voice. And a stranger they simply will not follow..” (John 10:4b-5a NASB)
