Next Encounter Retreat Will be scheduled for early 2006. Watch for announcement. |
What Is an Encounter Retreat? An Encounter Retreat is a three day period set aside to help the believer have an encounter with God. When people set aside the time to encounter their Heavenly Father, He is faithful to show up. Our Encouter Retreats are intense times of Teaching, Prayer, And Ministry. It will include opportunities to make sure of your salvation, to be set free from bondages and curses, and to be Baptized or refilled with the Holy Spirit. Where Is the Encounter Retreat Held? For several reasons, we have elected to conduct the Encounter Retreats on campus at First Assembly of God. One of the primary reasons for this is to keep the cost as reasonable as possible. If you are living in the Crystal River area, you may be able to commute from your home. However, in many cases it may be advisable for you to stay in a hotel or motel to avoid the distractions of home. It is absolutely imperative for this three day period to be set aside for God without other distractions. How Can I Attend One of the Encounter Retreats? In order to be elgible to attend one of the Encounter Retreats, you will need to complete the seven week PreEncounter class. This may be done here or at another church participating in the G12 Vision and offering the class. Sign up for the Encounter Retreat is normally done during the PreEncounter. However, if you will have completed PreEncounter elsewhere by the time of the retreat, you may signup by calling the church office at 352-795-2594 or 352-795-6557. What Else Can You Tell Me? You can expect that there will be men and women of God who have been praying and fasting for this event for several weeks before it starts. There will also be intercessors who will bathing the entire Encounter Retreat in Prayer from beginning to end. There will be qualified teachers and a prayer team that minister to you on an individual basis. These members of the prayer team have been carefully screened and qualified to carry out this important ministry. They are people who will take their duty seriously and are committed to you receiving the touch from God that you need. Please Call or Email us for more information |
