SPIRITUAL RENEWAL RETREAT IN CAMPO GRANDE
THE GIRLS
THE GUYS
We had a wonderful 4-day retreat with 6 leadership couples of the Campo Grande congregation November 12-15. We started with the 24-hour couples “Vision Retreat” that we have done here in Itu. Then we spent some intense time in individual intimacy building with God and some awesome sharing time as a group. We also had time for relaxation and fun in a beautiful place lush with God´s creativity in nature. Here is some of the feedback we received about the retreat:
**We know that the Lord’s service is lonely and we often need psychological and spiritual assistance. But this worker is reluctant to seek help because he thinks he is “unbreakable” and “bullet proof”. Little does he know that Satan is at work laying traps that the most experienced of preachers can fall into. I hope these events will continue to aid us with the support we need.
**Thank you for providing unforgettable moments of internal and external peace. During this encounter requests for forgiveness were made and friendships restored.
**At a time when I most needed to be quiet and meditate on the words of the Lord this opportunity was given me. Wonderful to know that the Lord is God and He was directly providing these pleasant moments along with His wisdom and the beauty of His creation.
**I learned that I must act as a child and not as a servant. I can serve God out of gratitude for being treated as His child and not serve to try to win His love. I am not disposable to God. The retreat made me look at myself and helped me to take off my mask in all areas of my life, spiritual and marital.
**This event was innovative and restored my desire to serve. I was becoming very hardened and did not want to take part in anything. Thank you for great contributions to my life and my marriage.
**Thank you Lord for the gift of being here. The best event I have ever attended!
**This retreat met our physical, emotional and spiritual needs. New horizons of transformation impacted our lives as individuals, couples and a group. As couples it helped us to be intimate and open with each other. It was a time of intimate renewal with the Lord. I leave here refreshed not just for 24 hours or 360 days, but for life.
**I am taking home with me: spiritual restoration and renewal of my desire to serve. A deeper intimacy with my husband. Clear knowledge that I serve as a child of God. I am His daughter, not merely His servant!
