"In the gentlest of ways, God helped me see all the ways I was trying to save myself through religion rather than resting fully in Him. When we were making a list of works based living and gospel based living, I was horrified to have God show me the root problem that I have been wrestling with for two decades. It was the beginning of a profound shift in my understanding and experience of God. Life is still very challenging but my relationship with Jesus and my ability to make my way through the journey wrapped up in the greatest love of the gospel has forever changed my heart"

"The retreat was a life changing experience. God showed up in incredible ways. The heavy weight that I was carrying is gone. I feel so strong and full of love. I know it’s because God loves me and he’s giving me this strength. I can’t wait to sign-up for another retreat."

"I honestly think about my life as life before the Portugal retreat and life after the retreat. So much has changed and I'm so grateful!"
