2018 Women In Youth Ministry Retreat

Every ministry job offers its own joys and challenges. Youth ministry may offer some of the most extreme. Being a woman in youth ministry offers its own unique struggles. The PKF Women in Youth Ministry annual retreat brings women together from all over the city for a weekend of encouragement, worship, community, and rest.

The weekend is always a special time for women to connect with one another and strengthen their relationship with Christ. There were 18 women on the retreat this year, 9 first timers.

We enjoyed yoga and scripture meditation led by Colleen Ulke on Saturday morning. Our speaker, Jamie Shaver from True View Ministries shed new light from God’s Word on the seemingly relentless topic of anxiety and fear.  With step by step instructions, she equipped us with the tools we had been searching for to help us to finally be free.

An afternoon of silence and solitude gave us much needed time in the presence of our Heavenly Father. The weekend was filled with worship and prayer led by Joyous DeMark.

There was also plenty of time for eating great food and having lots of fun! Each woman left the weekend feeling refreshed, recharged and ready to serve their students and ministries.
