Where does a pastor go to spend focused, uninterrupted personal time with God and to fellowship with fellow pastors and their wives? Where does he find a quiet retreat to be alone with his wife, to allow their hearts and minds to settle down enough to hear God speak?
Ministers and their spouses who met at The Lodge for a recent week-long Pastors' Retreat used the phrases above to describe what the retreat meant to them. They also said the retreat provided spiritual and physical refreshing, a season of renewal and reaffirmation of calling.
From the phone calls they received from staff prior to coming, to the seasonal beauty of the facilities, to the caring and gracious hosts and the wisdom gained from other godly leaders, the entire experience refreshed and challenged them.
Some comments they shared with us before heading home:
"I have learned to leave my hurts at His feet."
"God has shown me that my excitement and thrill need to be in Him alone."
"We are going to prioritize prayer and Scripture memory."
"This week gave me an extra desire to finish well, and a desire to share Jesus with more passion to the next generation."
Do you know a pastoral couple who needs a retreat like this? Are you that couple?
