Breaking Free From Strongholds Christian Retreat

Description:

Do you ever eat or drink more calories than your body needs?  Do you ever feel you ought to exercise but don’t?  Do you ever know the right thing to do but don’t do it?  Do you ever know something’s wrong but do it anyway?  If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you’ll know without a doubt that you are a citizen of the human race.  

As fellow members of the human race, we all deal with life’s hurts, hang-ups and habits.” (Rick Warren) At New Creation Transformation Ranch, we believe that we worship our way INTO addictions/strongholds and we can worship our way OUT.  We also believe that if we don’t understand something, or someone’s value, intent, and purpose, we are likely to neglect it at best, and abuse/destroy it, at worst.  

While many teach that we are “victims of a disease”, we believe we all have free will, and we make choices—some lead to freedom, while others lead to bondage.  When we exercise our freedom of choice, some of those choices lead us to be controlled by something or someone.  The real “Dis-ease” is actually a “SIN-disease” that we all battle.  Here at NCTR, we realize that changing one’s habits or lifestyle takes much longer than a few days or weeks.  However, we also realize that many of us cannot take a “time-out” from life and attend a 6-30 month residential recovery program.  

In our Christ-centered retreat on the beautiful 25 acre sanctuary in the serene WV mountains, we will (re) discover our inherent value, intent and God-given purpose, as we unplug and detach from a world that seeks to steal, kill and destroy, and get to know the One Who came that we might have life, and really live it to the full.  Through shared activities such as worship, study, healthy, nutritious meals, and fun, guests will leave here with a new understanding of their value, intent and purpose, and a plan to live that out as they return home to their home, family, and job.
