ARE YOU READY TO GO FISHING?

“Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people.” — Matthew 4:19

What does it mean to follow Jesus?

For the first disciples, it meant leaving the familiar behind and stepping into something bigger. Jesus called ordinary fishermen to follow Him — not just to learn from Him, but to prepare them to go and reach others.

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise, slow down, and make space to be with Jesus. It’s a chance to rest, reconnect, grow deeper in our faith, and allow God to prepare us for what comes next.

Because sometimes, before we can go out and reach others, we need to get away and let Jesus work in us.

This retreat is a pause before the sending. A time to be refreshed, equipped, and reminded of who we are called to be — followers of Jesus.

So, come away for a little while. Get refreshed. Get equipped. Get ready.

Because the goal isn’t to stay here. The goal is to go fishing.
