FEBRUARY 4,5

YOU ARE INVITED...

To the Sisterhood Revive Overnight Retreat :)

Ok sisters, we had so much doggone fun the first time, we're at it again. As promised, funded by some of my favorite people in the ENTIRE world, we have an opportunity to get together again to rejuvenate a bit. It certainly won't be exactly the same as when we had the whole team from the States and the event at CCI and all of that, but we're counting on the fact that God will show up and blow us away with His kindness again. He is faithful!!

When the idea for this first came about, we settled on the name "Sisterhood Revive" having absolutely no idea all that could or would come to mean. In ways I am unable to describe in words, in less than 48 hours we felt a sisterhood being born that extended farther and deeper than we could have known would happen. I really wish you could know ladies (in Honduras) how deeply you have settled into the hearts of some women (in the States) who love you and who pray diligently for you and who are DETERMINED with a vengeance not to leave you floundering or feeling like no one notices or cares. They are women of their word and this weekend is no doubt evidence of that. They have been asking when they get to come back and do it again. We'll talk more about that later, but let's just say they're itching to experience that all over again - you've touched them deeply.

One of my favorite parts of being together the last time was being able to look into the eyes of other women that you knew "understood" the things you said, but more than that, the things you couldn't find words for. We may not have understood each others stories completely, but one thing was certain...we all understood the dry empty moments you sometimes feel serving in a land away from home. We all welled up with tears when someone said the word "weary." It just felt good to be encouraged by someone who had walked a mile (or a million miles) through the same dusty places you have been walking. I was moved and encouraged beyond my ability to say so.

I cannot wait to see you all again. Please be prayerful about our time together even now. That God will meet us and mold us and help us to help one another look more like Him in the way we live and serve.

So...here are the details.

This is NOT limited to only the women who were with us at the last retreat. It is open to any English speaking gal who is ministering in this country who needs a place to rest and renew. It's a sisterhood we're eager to invite other women into. Please extend the invitation to anyone you know who would like to join us.


See you soon. We love you.

Jennifer Wright, on behalf of the Women of Purpose Team :)
