About
Encounter Weekend
Most likely you were directed here by a friend, and you may be wondering “what in the world is this person so excited about?” Well, take any ideas that you may have about this impactful event and throw it out the window. You can be as social or hermit-like as you wish – you will not be forced out of any comfort zone that you may have. Don’t worry, this is not another typical church retreat; it’s a weekend where you have an opportunity to get away with other women and experience God in a real, intimate, and personal way. Life is a series of choices, and at a minimum, this is a chance to receive something that equips you to face life’s challenges in an environment that is customized for you!
The Women’s Encounter is organized by women and for ALL women. There is no central organization, but rather a growing network of women from all walks of life and many different regions that have experienced FREEDOM, and are now working to share it with others.
The principles and tools shared are foundational in nature, but yet, can have a profound influence on those who come with a humble and open heart. While there will be other women in attendance, Encounter is an individual and personal experience. What takes place during the weekend is between you and God. He has a gift that is unique for you.
Hope to see you there!
