Ladies, join us for an overnight weekend retreat to spend time together, “Preparing the Bride’s” first retreat. Life’s demands can sweep us off our feet, leaving little time to cultivate what God has placed inside us. Whether you’re dealing with challenges or simply want to deepen your walk with God, this experience is for you. If you’re thinking, “A retreat is not for me,” think again! A retreat is for every woman—moms on the go, career women, empty nesters, women in ministry, entrepreneurs, and women who are single, divorced, or widowed. This will provide a place of refuge and spiritual renewal where ALL are welcome.  

 

Perhaps you think you don’t need a retreat; there are no extraordinary problems or challenges in your life just now. But a retreat is not only for the difficult times in your life—it’s also for those moments when you are feeling happy, fulfilled, and thankful for all your many blessings. What better way to deepen your spiritual connection with the God to whom you are so grateful? 

 

Maybe you’re saying, “I can’t afford to give up an entire weekend!” But you need to trust that when you step away from your family, they really can and will manage without you. From Friday at 7 p.m. to Sunday at 12:00 p.m. is only about 40 hours—long enough for them to miss you and perhaps deepen their appreciation of all you do. It’s also plenty of time for you to refocus your energy and come back to them refreshed. Besides, you may find that they experience blessings of their own during your time away. Or you may want to consider our “Commuter Saturday Program”—from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.—one full day of retreat that will fill your heart. 

 

If you’ve considered a retreat in the past, don’t miss this opportunity for an uplifting and fulfilling experience! I promise you this could be the greatest gift you give yourself! 

Background/ Foundation 

 “The Vision of “Preparing the Bride” 

The vision of Preparing the Bride is an extension of Holistic Ministries that was birthed in 2011. God’s desire is for us to be made whole and every area of our lives has to be addressed.  All areas can be functioning and producing healthy and whole! God desire for us is to be healed and whole spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically.  

In 2021, God first granted me the vision for “Preparing the Bride,” a message focused on relationships and marriage. As time progressed into the following year, the vision expanded to explore a deeper calling: our identity as the Bride of Christ and what that truly signifies. While preparing for marriage is valuable, our ultimate priority is unity with Jesus. 

The theme for 2022 was “Unveil the Bride,” a journey in which God began to reveal to us our true selves—not just in relation to our future spouses, but also to uncover the profound depth of our identities. This unveiling was not merely about showing who we are; it also involved exposing what we are not. It prompted us to release agreements with identities that do not align with our true selves. 

In 2023, we embraced “The Adorning,” where God sought to enrich us. He wanted to cultivate our inner beauty, transforming us not only to be seen but to attract others to Him through our lives. In recognizing our inherent value, we enable others to see their worth as well. 

The 2024 gathering, growth has taken place. God has positioned us to receive, equipped us to move forward, and mantled us with the strength to carry out His purpose. He revealed to us a greater measure than before: embracing to fulfill what we were sent here to accomplish, healed and whole, filled with assurance and boldness. 

So, the intent of this retreat is to Revive, Refresh, and Renew every woman focusing on healing and wholeness as we embrace the NEW.
