Come DREAM with Us: The Cultivate Retreat
THE 30 x 3 DREAM
Dear Friends,
I have done something a bit crazy, a bit ambitious—but a bit faithful, too. After praying and dreaming, TWBTO is hosting our first-ever retreat in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, THIS June 22-23!
I want to be completely transparent and authentic with you; my husband and I are 100% backing this retreat with our own funds (which we don’t really have) because we feel called to nurture TWBTO and the people we love and serve through this ministry.
I am also not proud enough or silly enough to attempt to do this on my own or in my own strength as I slowly recover from four years of serious illness. To be honest, I am also asking and trusting God for a miracle that I have the abilities and stamina between now and then (and most definitely during), to serve and execute in any way that is asked of me.
THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN. I am asking you to come (in person or virtually), to share, to invite, to get involved, or to donate—in whatever way(s) you feel led. 100% NO PRESSURE or EXPECTATIONS HERE. Just an invitation…
This retreat will be a BEAUTIFUL manifestation of WHAT GOD IS DOING—not what I am doing as the momma of TWBTO. Mommas serve with love and gratitude, and they want to very best for their children. That’s how I feel about TWBTO and YOU. I want to serve and help breathe life into the moment and movement that I well know is not my own.
It is God’s.
It is ours.
We are calling this move on faith THE 30 x 3 DREAM:
*We need at least 30 friends to attend in person (15 friends bringing 1 friend would do it!).
*We need at least 30 friends to attend virtually (all or any of the sessions).
*We need at least 30 friends to donate their best gift ($5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250… whatever you feel called to.) And if you know of a generous donor, might you tell them about us?
So, here I am—openhearted and an open book—asking YOU if you believe in this retreat. And if you believe in what we are doing at TWBTO….
We are praying this moment is a movement.
Looking forward to what God does!
You belong here,
me
