Why a longer program compared to a shorter program? From our experience 5 days is too short and 2 weeks is too long, so 11 days is just right! We have come up with this unique experience to fully embody the spirit of discerning mission and outreach in our community so that you might find a similar spirit in yours. In order to serve, we need to have an opportunity toget to know each other and the community of which we are becoming a part. Each session begins at 7:00pm on Sunday and finishes on Thursday at 12:00pm. Discernment takes time, the Spirit comes to us in the most unusual ways, we need to be ready to hear Gods word. Their needs to be time to worship with our host community and with each other. We need to find time to play together and see the community we have come to serve.
