HE RESTORES MY SOUL RETREAT
This is a 48 hour retreat at the Christview Ministries Center for one to three people, with dates determined by their request
Give yourself the gift of time apart with God, or give this gift to someone else. You couldn't find a more valuable gift for busy Christians who continually give of themselves to others! A church member recently gave the gift of this retreat to 3 people who are working hard with children and youth ministries and needed some time to receive from the Lord. Who can you bless with a retreat?
The retreat begins with some suggestions from Judy Turner, who serves as Spiritual Director for those on retreat. She offers guidance in how to be attentive to God and some scripture passages to pray with. Most of the time, people will be on their own to pray, rest, take walks, and enjoy the beautiful setting. Much of the retreat will be in silence, with times for individual conversations with Judy about what is coming up in prayer, and times for group worship.
Suggested donation for food and lodging (a private room and 5 delicious meals) is $150.00 for one person; $130.00 per person for two people; $120.00 per person for 3 people. An additional donation for spiritual direction, on a sliding scale, from $40.00 - $100.00 an hour is requested.

What one person experiences on individual retreat at Christview:
Amy Crumpton, who has a busy life serving as a wife and mom, a counselor, and active church leader, comes to the Christview Ministries Center regularly for Bible studies and spiritual renewal days. Once a quarter she spends 2-3 days at Christview growing closer to God. Amy recently wrote:
Dear John & Judy,
I'm overwhelmed with gratefulness for Christview and the spiritual mentoring I receive from the two of you. You provide a firm foundation and simultaneously, amazing freedom for personal exploration in my ever-changing (and hopefully maturing!) walk with God. Whether I'm visiting for John's Bible Study or a Spiritual mini-retreat or for personal restoration, my time passes too quickly. I'm never quite ready to leave your love-filled environment that warms my soul like a crackling fire. The Holy Spirit is so palatable in your ministry center, in your words, and in your presence. You each truly inspire me to open myself fully to the woman God is beckoning me to be.
Thank you for listening to His voice and heeding His call to establish Christview. Your ministry deepens the roots in each of us, therefore increasing our strength in the Lord to go into a hurting world and be the hands and feet and heart of Jesus.
I cannot wait until the next time I see your beautiful faces and hear the familiar greeting I cherish, "Amy, welcome back to your spiritual home." I love you both!

If you cannot afford the suggested donation, give what you can. If you are able to give more, your generous donation will help make our services available for some who cannot pay.
Rev. Allen Thrasher and Georgina Thrasher comment on their Renewal Day at Christview:
“I would really recommend this experience for someone who wants to grow closer to God. I appreciated this time for reflection. The material is rich. The teaching is inspirational. It was a beautiful setting in which to enjoy some quiet time with God. I appreciate John and Judy’s openness. I felt free to say what I think.”
