Invitations in the Wilderness

From 4:00pm on Monday 23rd June till 2:00pm on Thursday 26th June

Invitations In The Wilderness

This is a retreat for those in vocational ministry or mission. It`s inevitable. A given. No child of God gets a free pass - including those called to minister in his name. We will all spend time in the wilderness. The wilderness is not a comfortable place; it can be a place of disorientation, of questioning, of distress and doubts. It is the place where we come face to face with the reality of our humanity; our limitations, our fears, our weaknesses and our temptations. And yet the wilderness is also the place where we are invited to encounter and embrace God`s presence and purposes for us in ever more profound ways. We are invited into a growing intimacy with God and a greater likeness to Jesus.In our time together we will draw from the Scriptures to explore the invitations which God holds out to us in the harder seasons of our lives - our wilderness days - and the lessons which the wilderness offers us which can shape our lives and ministries. Each teaching session will be followed by a time for personal reflection and prayer. There will be plenty of space for solitude and quiet, and an opportunity for spiritual direction if desired.
