Welcome to Strength for the Journey, a retreat ministry that offers a time away for those struggling with various challenges of life and loss. Strength for the Journey offers beautiful worship, times of meditation, talks from fellow pilgrims on the journey speaking of suffering and joy, often mixed together in one’s life.
Strength comes when suffering is shared. Seasons of suffering seem to sink our souls, yet in our despair, God's presence can come through others who choose to walk the suffering path alongside those in need. God's grace can fill us, guide us, and give us hope–especially in the most difficult circumstances.
Strength for the Journey retreats are open to women (and sometimes men) of all ages and stages of life, functioning in all types of roles—as patients, caretakers, students or retirees, multitasking working mothers, single career women, and family homemakers. The retreat is designed to help each person find strength and support for their particular life journey. If you or someone you love has faced–or is facing–cancer or some other disease or illness, grief from a loss, major stress or difficult situation, you will likely find a Strength for the Journey retreat particularly helpful.
The format and content of each retreat is essentially the same regardless of location and includes large group presentations on various topics, scripture readings, contemplative exercises, music and singing, and small group sharing. Opportunities for meditation, stillness, reflection, and new friendships abound for Strength for the Journey retreatants. While people of all faith traditions or non-traditions are welcome, Strength for the Journey retreats are a vessel of hope with a focus on how participants can grow in their Christian faith in the midst of suffering or transition. It is our hope that each person will become increasingly connected with our deeply loving God as well as with a community of caring believers.
Each retreat location page provides information about the retreat setting, along with contact and registration information, a brochure, and dates. Our history page offers insight into why Strength for the Journey retreats began and have been so beneficial to many individuals on their life journey. We encourage you to seek the nourishment your soul needs—come and be renewed in body, mind, and spirit.
