Overview The Journey Deepens Retreat

This weekend will deepen your relationship with Jesus and help you explore what it is like to be a missionary, discover whether a missionary or sender role is God's fit for you, and connect with mission agencies. The core of the retreat and the key distinctive is the discussion groups with six prospects and two mentors which meet four times throughout the weekend. The retreat has separate groups for college students and high school seniors, young professionals in their 20s and 30s, adults of any age, singles and married couples. Meet others like you and compare maps on the journey. Discuss your compass with mentors who have journeyed into missions already.

Attendance is about 50 people; at this retreat you will not be overwhelmed with overchoice! Here's some of the subjects that will be covered in the general sessions, small groups and one-on-one time with the missionary mentors:

• I feel a pull from God to the nations. What should I do next?
• Which of my gifts and interests could I use in another culture?
• How can I deal with school loans?
• What's involved in raising prayer and financial support?
• How do I discuss missions with my family and my church?
• If God leads me to stay and send others what would that involve?
