✨ Give the Gift of Rest & Restoration This Christmas ✨
🎄🎁
Some gifts last a moment… this one can shift a whole season of someone’s life.
So many Christians long for a quiet place to breathe again — to sit with God, slow their pace, and simply be — but not everyone has the means to step away for the retreat they deeply need.
Your contribution, whether small or the full cost of a retreat, can open the door for someone who’s running on empty. 💝
Meet Ruth, who recently returned for her second Anew Retreat at Harmony House:
“I was thrilled to be back. As a clergy spouse, life is wonderfully full… but also heavy at times. Between a demanding schedule, recent major surgery, and long-term illness, I was desperate for a little ‘me time.’
Thanks to funding support I was able to attend. Adele held a place for me, encouraged me through the application, and genuinely cared.
The theme was Be Still and Know… and that’s exactly what happened. The house is beautiful, peaceful, and the food is amazing. Slowing down over shared meals, gentle walks, and even a long soak in the tub helped my heart breathe again.
God met me in such a powerful way. During prayer, I felt a physical lightness — like golden air filling my body. My M.E symptoms have significantly decreased, and I fully believe God has begun my healing.
I left refreshed, restored, and renewed in my relationship with the Lord. My prayer is that others get to experience the same blessing.”
— Ruth
