Women’s Weekend Discipleship Retreat

We host a Women’s Weekend Discipleship Retreat to bring together the young mother who is adjusting to life with a new baby, the grandmother who is seeking purpose, the single mother who is struggling to find work, and the young woman looking for her place in life, to help them love, encourage, and minister to one another. Please join us in reaching women in the Netherlands!

The women in our church are primarily national believers, most of whom have grown up in the faith. Their lives have a very different rhythm than that of the student. Many are married and have children, live near their parents or in-laws, and have steady incomes. Their isolation isn't as immediate as that of a student. But they, too, need connection. They need to be encouraged and challenged in living out their faith in the day-to-day. Whether it's the young mother who is adjusting to life with a new baby (or babies), the grandmother who's not sure she has a place in our group, the single mother who is struggling to find work, or the single woman with no children who isn't sure she has anything to contribute, they all feel alone in their specific circumstances. And they need the proverbial space to do life together.
