Experience a Sacred Time of Spiritual Renewal: Prayer and Fasting Retreat
Join us for a restorative and transformative weekend of prayer, meditation, and fasting from January 16 - 18, 2026, in a peaceful retreat setting in Greeley, PA. This is a sacred opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and rest in God’s presence.
A Time to Renew Your Spirit
"So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer." — Ezra 8:23
This scripture reminds us of the power of prayer and fasting to draw closer to God, seek His guidance, and invite His peace into our hearts. Together, we will create a space for you to deepen your faith and nurture your soul.
