Tip One: When God gives you a desire or dream for offsite ministry with your group, GO FOR IT!!! Without any doubt or fear allow God to use this special time to minister to your group.  God can do awesome things as you set aside time for Him. Even believe for the finances to pull off this special event!!! 

Tip Two: Set goals and PICK A THEME. You may have specific needs in your group.  Certain goals or themes can help focus on these needs!  Allow God to lead and guide you for specific details.  Nothing is too difficult for God!!! Let Midwest Christian Retreats help you plan your next big event.

Tip Three: Spend time praying and fasting and WATCH GOD WORK.  Sometimes as humans we tend to limit God.  In reality should we limit what He can do?  Especially, when a certain time is set aside for Him? I often think of the Scripture found in Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (New King James Version)

Remember God is Faithful to do what He said He would do!

God Blessings!
