"CALLED...GIFTED...SENT FORTH" 2016 ANNUAL RETREAT (incl. PAST TESTIMONIES BY FRIENDS OF DIVINE)




In about a month's time from 24 -29 July 2016, the CALLED...GIFTED...SENT FORTH 2016 Annual Retreat & Formation for Priests, Religious & Lay Leaders in Ministry will be conducted in Divine Retreat Centre. This retreat has transformed and converted the hearts of many who are serving in our Lord's vineyard. It is a blessed ocassion to commit yourself to a time set apart for Jesus - to allow Jesus to speak to your heart.

Is this retreat meant for you? If you are serving the Lord or want to serve the Lord whether it is in a church ministry or in a call God has placed in your heart, then it is meant for you. It is a special grace to come and experience in a personal tangible way how to answer God's Call and to truly serve Him with all your heart.

Is daily and ministry life so busy that I have no time to experience a personal retreat?

Am I busy ministering to others but have no time for Jesus to minister to 
my heart, my mind, my soul?

What is my Call from God - how am I answering His Call? 

Am I listening to what God wants of me NOT what I want to do for God?

Is my ministry bcoming burdensome, dry and rife with politics...just a routine?

Is there prayer, reflection, humility  and discernment in how I live for Jesus each day??

Is there joy, peace and love in my ministry?

If any of the above quesions has touched a chord in your heart, this Divine Annual CALLED ...GIFTED SENT FORTH 2016 Retreat & Spiritual Formation for Priests, Religious & Lay Leaders in Ministry is an anointed time of Grace to sit, listen, be renewed and empowered at the Feet of Jesus!

Many have asked what is the retreat all about. Come with an open heart and God touches each person in a unique and blessed way. Below are three (3) beautiful testimonies of Friends of Divine based in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong who have attended this retreat previously. We praise and thank God for touching their lives in a blessed way!
