WOMEN'S RETREAT
BRAVE HEART
We need to be brave as Christian women in our world today. The landscape of our culture has changed dramatically; it is almost as though we have been dropped into a foreign land. So, how do we navigate this new landscape with a sense of confidence, direction or joy? Join us as we look at God’s calling for His daughters living in the 21st century.
Speaker: Dawn Gould, Director of Women's Ministries at Mt. Gilead
Dawn grew up in Washington State and met her husband, Dave, at Seattle Pacific University. They have lived at Mt. Gilead for the past 33 years and raised their three children at camp. Dawn truly loves her job as she is able to walk beside women who find freedom in Christ and begin using their gifts to serve the Lord. She is devoted to equipping the next generation to lead with humility, holiness and dependence on Christ. She is also devoted to being a grandma to her six-year-old grandson Jeremiah and four-year- old granddaughter Everleigh!
​
The Bible is an integral part of the believer's walk with God. How can we understand the Bible and apply it to our lives? Join us as we learn to study the Bible for maximum impact in our lives. “God’s word is an indispensable weapon.” Ephesians 6:15 The MESSAGE
Pre-Conference Luncheon Theme: Our Indispensable Weapon
Pre-Conference Speaker: Jan Wells
Jan Wells is an author and teacher of the Word of God with a depth of understanding that is rare and captivating. She is passionate about helping women understand the full cultural and historic context of Scripture while making it relevant to our current day lives. Her heart of compassion, blended with her confidence in the wisdom and love of God, provides incredible encouragement. Jan and her husband have two children and six grandchildren.
We are all about influencing the next generation for Jesus. We encourage you to invite your teenage daughters and granddaughters ages 13+ to attend Women's Retreat. Teenagers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Saturday Seminars
Track 1 - 9:50-10:50
Warriors in Training
Throughout the Bible, we find one leader preparing the next generation's leader how to walk with God and how to lead with God. What does it take to be a good leader and why is it so important to be leadable?
Refreshment for the Combat Weary
How can we keep our mind and soul renewed and refreshed while living in the world that is bursting with needs as well as selfishness and sin? Come join us as we explore God's plan for restoring and strengthening us.
Indispensable Weapon Part 2
Come put into practice the Bible Study tools that were taught at the Pre-Conference Luncheon with Jan Wells. Dive into the book of Jude and learn more about this short, but timely book of the Bible.
Track 2 - 11:00-12:00
Night Watch
The scriptures that were written centuries ago are being fulfilled rapidly. What are these scriptures and how should we live in light of these truths? Grab a friend and bring your Bible as we dive into God's word together.
Effective Prayer
Learn the power and impact of effective prayer from the Word of God. Discover God's heart for us and his desire to hear our heart in prayer. "The prayer of a righteous woman is powerful and effective." James 5:16b
The Power of Worship
Worship was quite often a part of God's battle plan in the Old Testament. Why was it important? Why does it matter today? Join our worship leaders as they share the impact of worship.

PLEASE NOTE:
Our heart is to give women a break and provide for them a place to rest and relax, free from their usual responsibilities. To that end, we respectfully request that little ones remain at home so that moms and others attending the retreat can fully focus on what the Lord has for them and go home refreshed and encouraged. THANK YOU!
