Listen to the Be Bold for Jesus Podcast to be encouraged, inspired and empowered to go out and share your faith with others. Today we are hearing from Jesse Urban of Be Still Retreats.
Everything we do is focused on serving, encouraging, and inspiring our Church leaders. Pastors and missionaries, including ministry leaders need to put effort into keeping their relationship with God, their spouse and support staff strong. Our purpose is to make that easier. We encourage guests to remove themselves from the rush, relax, be still before God and rest in Him.
We see individuals: Going deeper with God, purposefully seeking Him in the stillness of His creation.
We see marriages: Strengthened through undistracted intimacy in the unadulterated beauty of nature.
We see Church leadership teams: Strengthening their foundation by getting off campus and learning about each other, closing gaps in communication, and seeking God to help them through growth and change.
We see strong leadership in the Church, rested, with clear vision and a renewed passion for their ministry.
MISSION
Serve, encourage, and inspire Church leaders, promoting growth in their relationship with God, their spouse, and support staff.
We follow the instruction given to the Thessalonian church by Paul: “Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other.” 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13.
We are encouraged by John’s letter to Gaius: “Dear friend, you are being faithful to God when you care for the traveling teachers who pass through, even though they are strangers to you.” 3 John 1:5.
As our name suggests, we promote “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10. We encourage guests to leave their daily distractions behind and quiet their minds with the stillness of nature, opening the door for God to truly inspire them.
