General Information & Itinerary
In Mark 6:31, Jesus said to His disciples, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.”
Anapauo is the Greek word for rest – it means to relax, refresh, and gain relief from the toil of life. At our events, you will enjoy fellowship with other ministry leaders, encouragement in ministry life, and biblical teaching that renews your spirit for Kingdom work. Our desire is that these three days of REST will have a lasting impact on the lives and ministries of those who attend.
Dress Code: Anapauo retreats are designed to create an atmosphere of rest and relaxation. Be comfortable and dress casually. However, those who are planning to golf will need a shirt with a collar and shorts/pants that are not blue jeans.
