The theme of this year’s Refuel Retreat is “Reaching for the RIM!” You can’t give away what you don’t have, and you won’t have anything to give if you don’t first pursue it from Christ. We are all meant to sink deep roots into prayer, responding to the relationship into which God is inviting each and every one of us. That relationship cultivates and inspires our personal identity, which in turn fuels our mission in this world. There are many, many things that can distract, dissuade, and even sabotage that state of being. The retreat this year will focus on these foundational elements of our life as ministry leaders.
