Ask them to start praying the week of the retreat (for your preparation and time management) and then to pray through to the Monday following the retreat. Especially ask them to pray for physical, emotional, and spiritual health and stamina.
  • You are welcome to have your prayer partners sign up to be a retreat intercessor. They will receive high level prayer needs via email throughout the weekend. If they would like to sign up, they can use this link.

**Don’t forget your SNACK! Check out Directions for Food Donations section for details.**

Here is what we need for each person’s snack to share:

If your last name begins with a letter A-H– please bring a SWEET snack. If you are gluten-free, please bring gluten-free snack.

If your last name begins with a letter I-Z– please bring a SALTY snack. If you are gluten-free, please bring gluten-free snack.

Please label EVERYTHING YOU BRING with your name, so if the kitchen team or snack team has questions, they know who to ask! If you are making something at home, please include the following information, in addition to your name:

– What the food is:  ground beef, lasagna, cookies, snack, etc. This gives kitchen and snack team directions on where items need to be stored. This helps us communicate with participants as well, some things are hard to tell what they are just by looking. 

– Allergy information (gluten-free, dairy-free, contains walnuts, etc.)

– Reheat/cooking instructions (if applicable)- temp to cook/reheat, time it takes, etc.

– Storage:  needs to be frozen/refrigerated/fine at room temp. Again, this helps our teams plan for storage as we are setting up.

If you are bringing store-bought stuff, please leave it in the package from the store so the kitchen team has all the above information.

If you or someone your know is interested in providing scholarship money for a participant please feel free to make a donation here

This is an incredible way to pour into a woman’s retreat experience.

Retreat Need to Knows

Preparing YOUR Story: 

  • Write/Type out your story prior to the retreat and practice telling it
  • Partners (4-5 minutes max); Not Partners (2-3 minutes max)
  • Remember we are all familiar with betrayal and the loss of trust in some relationship, and we have all received healing and restoration from the Father. This is the heart of the story you want to communicate.

Please take the time to reach out to your buddy at least one time prior to the retreat. Send them an email first inviting them to a phone call. Connecting by phone is ideal, but we want them to have the ability to connect in a way that feels safe. The purpose of this connection is to help combat the participant’s fear of not knowing anyone, to answer questions, and to help them feel welcomed. You may be working with your buddy during the retreat, so please do not hesitate to ask them what you can be praying for as we all prepare. 

  • Please share those prayer requests with the Intercession Team via email. Please send to the Lead Intercessor, Toni at broylesb@bellsouth.net
  • Please also ensure that they have received their retreat emails and that they do not have any questions. Any questions that might arise please direct to Julie Palmer at juliep@hoperedefined.org 636-577-5284 or LyschelBurket@hoperedefined.org or 865-223-4396. Most retreat information is sent 30 days pre-retreat.
  • Please communicate any retreat logistics or special considerations they might need to Lyschel or Julie. Be sure to ask them about food allergies or needs for sleeping comfortably.
  • If your buddy is traveling, they will need to send their itinerary to Retreat Coordinator, Julie, so that we are aware of their arrival/departure. We are offering ground transportation to those who arrive during a certain window of time. If they are not able to arrive during the window of time, then ground transportation will be their responsibility. Uber is an option from the airport to the Wayfloy office. Please remind them to send their travel dates if they have not already. 

We have laid out the things that are essential in building a healthy functioning ministry team. Please review our Retreat Team Values & Protocols 

Redeemed Hope Ministry Values & Protocols 

You have these prayers in your Team Member packet but we want to make sure you can find them if you need them.

A part of what we get to do at this retreat is offer validation AND freedom. Deliverance is the action of being rescued and set free. 

Here is our teaching on this topic for our retreat team.  Protocols for Deliverance Ministry
