Our Retreats

We believe that receiving love is critical to experiencing freedom.

Teaching

Our curriculum is scripture dense, as the LIVING word creates life in our participants. We believe that the WORD is confirmed with a release of authority and power from Heaven. We are not asking Heaven to endorse what we are doing, we know that His word ALWAYS accomplishes the purpose for which it was released.

Ministry Time

Each teaching session includes dedicated time for corporate ministry, individual ministry, and time for each lady to allow Holy Spirit to shine his light on how to apply the Word.

Freedom

So many times we as women have lived outside the freedom that Jesus’ victory provided. Freedom from the attachments that the enemy uses to derail us, and freedom to live as our original heavenly design. We have watched as the Word and Spirit come together to break old patterns in our participants.

Testimonials

``In her own words``

I am a life that was changed!
The Living Room Encounter has 100% changed my life

I didn’t know my identity in him and I didn’t realize there was a place for me at his table. I have always been uncomfortable with events like this. I was happy serving and had grown content with serving and settling for crumbs that fell from the master’s table. It was a struggle but I went and of course tried to hide in the corner but there was so much love in the room, I couldn’t hide and then I didn’t feel the need to hide. I encountered the love of the father and the love of sisterhood that God knew I desperately needed. I realized I didn’t have to settle for crumbs because there is a place at his table with my name on it. I’m still growing and healing and I’m grateful I had those encounters.

Desperation to Breakthrough
I showed up… desperate

I was mentally teetering on a mental breakdown… I had NO idea what the weekend would bring or unfold I just knew that my life and my future state depended on this encounter weekend with God… God was definitely there and soaking in His presence and being filled with His love, peace and healing is something I will NEVER forget. I received deliverance that weekend which still blows me away when I think about it!!! It was the most amazing, freeing, healing experience I have ever been a part of!!! The outpouring of The Father’s Love and healing was the most Awesome encounter and I left that weekend forever changed!!!
