Let's Journey Together

Receiving, Retreating, and Relating as we Go, Give, and Pray

 

We are so privileged to be partners with you in praying for, giving to, and going into God’s work in Europe. Part of our passion as we do that is to provide you with opportunities to:

  • Receive from God as you’re being poured out in ministry,
  • Retreat periodically to be renewed and refreshed, and build
  • Relationships that fuel and further our love for and connection with God.

God desires for you to walk closely with Him through life's ups, downs, struggles and successes. We're here to encourage you along your journey, providing resources and avenues for deepening your walk with Him.

Spiritual Formation

A process of being transformed by the love of God into the image of Christ.

The What

Spiritual Formation is grounded in the truth that God is the one with the power to form and transform us. Through Scripture, prayer reflection, and community we can experience God’s presence, converse with him, know him and be known by him. It is through this ever deepening relationship with our triune God that he forms us more and more into the image of Christ.

The Why

The purpose of all this is for us to be unified with Christ and enjoy him; to rest in the fact that He loves us for just being us—not for what we do. Yet in God’s greatness, he also uses this transformation to give us a longing and ability to love and serve the world around us.

The How

The use of spiritual practices helps us to remain open and receptive to God and his transforming work. The specific practices that most benefit your relationship with God will depend on your personality and season of life. Give yourself grace and time to explore the practices and rhythms that work best for you.
