ADVANCE
…Your faith in God
…The Gospel in your life
…The Kingdom in our world
My grandfather, an old Marine, used to tease me about all the retreats I took my youth groups on.
He would say:
“Trey, why are you always taking those kids to retreat? When are you going to advance?”
I would reply:
“Well actually, we retreat so we can advance!”
That’s what this weekend is about!
It’s about retreating – getting away to focus on the one true God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), so that we can allow God to ADVANCE our faith, the Gospel, and the Kingdom in and through our lives together.
This could be a great resource for your next Winter Retreat!

Is there a link to this resource? Or is the overview the resource? Sorry if I am misunderstanding or overlooked something…I guess I was expecting a full resource for a retreat (or at least a link to material for purchase)…ice breakers, small group discussion questions, praise songs, prayer prompts, etc. Thanks for sharing these themes and scripture passages!
Hey Izzie! You may have seen, but the rest of the posts are released weekly. You can find the first two here: http://youthministrycollective.seedbed.com/category/small-group-lessons/ And the third in the series will come out this week.
