I have had a lot of involvement in ministry wife conferences through college years and I have to say this program was particularly unique. I highly recommend going!

My heart had become hardened by the pressures and difficulties of ministry, and yet God used the retreat to soften my heart towards him and the gospel, and empowered me to persevere at a time when I felt ready to give up.

It’s a well-packaged program. It’s a journey that brings fun, experience, new learning and Bible into play.

The retreats have been big highlights for me over the last two years in my growth as a Christian, and growth in my role at church and also in supporting my husband. I learned a lot about myself and had some very helpful discussions about issues unique to pastor’s wives.

This has helped me accept my unique role in being here to build God’s church, and to partner my husband and children in doing that.

My husband did the Leadership Development Program. The Wives Network has helped me be on the same page and catch the vision. It's made me realise we need to be pulling together. I want to be working better with my husband to build Christ’s church.

It's helped me reflect on what I can do when my youngest starts school next year, and how I could use that time to build the church.

I feel less alone after having shared experiences other pastors’ wives. I've realised how precious God’s church is and I need to get in step with God.

I've felt incredibly enabled to keep on using whatever opportunity is in front of me. It's helped me to keep doing that in sharper and sharper clearer ways, biblically grounded, and knowing where I can turn for help.

I've realised that God wants to do the work of saving people through me. He has caught me up to his bigger purpose of saving people.
