The purpose & heart of this year’s Retreat, is to help those who attend, to realize and understand that our relationship with Jesus is not an easy “road” to take. In fact, there will and probably be many hardships & battles (both internally & externally).
With that understanding, we pray that those who attend, would be encouraged and challenged to press on with their relationship with Jesus, because when it’s all said and done, truly LIFE is and will be found. Anything else will ultimately lead to destruction.
