Get Away With God

Individual One-Day Spiritual Growth Retreat

One of the great things about the New Year is that it gives us the opportunity to make changes in ourselves, families and ministries. We all know that we could make changes anytime but the New Year just seems the right time so let’s take full advantage of it.

Listed below are 25 questions that we believe will help get you started in the right direction (if you need a new direction). We also understand that there are many more questions that could be asked.

Take a couple or three hours just to think about the questions and take time to write down your responses.
