New Zealand Retreat: February 14-15, 2025
A 2-day Ministries of Pastoral Care Retreat
Living the Miracle
God’s plan and desire is that His love would flow freely through our lives, completing us and overflowing to others.
As much as we strive to live in this flow, barriers to His love can build up in our hearts. We might sense that we’re being held back, but on our own we can’t clearly see what the barrier is or find a way to remove it. Praise God, He has not left us on our own.
Through His cross and shed blood, Jesus brought something purely divine and radically new into this world – forgiveness! His miraculous gift enables us to:
- • Accept ourselves as God accepts us, leaving self-hatred behind.
- • Embrace His forgiveness and gladly wear Christ’s righteousness as our own.
- • Forgive those whose sins have hurt, harmed, and hindered us.
Through worship, teaching, and prayer, this retreat will help us receive His gift, and equip us to share the miracle with others.
Who should attend
All seekers of the kingdom of God are encouraged to attend. Those who struggle with roadblocks in following Jesus will find real help. Ministers and lay leaders from all denominations, and those in caregiving roles and professions, will be equipped to help others live as forgiven and forgiving people.

“Once Christ abides within, one with our spirits, then His life can radiate throughout our souls. As His light encounters dark places of unforgiveness and woundedness within us, healing can take place.“
