What an incredible weekend I had at the 3 Fold ministry retreat. It was anointed, refreshing, uplifting, and so much fun. So many were set free by hearing God's Word, laying things down at the foot of the cross and knowing they are all covered by the blood of Jesus! The tears, laughter, and the sweetest praise and worship with some amazing women was awesome. The Holy Spirit was present! If you have never attended don't miss the next one. Come expecting God to meet you right where you are. You will leave refreshed, encouraged, and strengthened in your faith. I promise you will be glad you came.

Attending the 3 Fold Ministries retreat was a blessing that came at exactly the right time in my life. Before I arrived, I was carrying burdens that had left me feeling ashamed, discouraged, and distant from God. Although I believed He was with me, I struggled to fully trust Him with everything I was facing.

Throughout the retreat, God met me in ways I didn't expect. Through the worship, the messages, prayer, and the love shown by the prayer team, servers, and other women, I was reminded that I am never alone. One of the greatest lessons I learned is that God doesn't ask us to carry our burdens by ourselves—He invites us to lay them at His feet and trust His perfect plan.

There were moments during the retreat when I felt God's peace in a way I hadn't experienced in a long time. He reminded me that my identity is found in Christ, not in my circumstances, my past, or my fears.

I was saved, baptized, and left with a renewed heart, a stronger faith, and a deeper desire to spend time in His Word and grow closer to Him each day.

I am so thankful for everyone who prayed, served, and made this retreat possible. God used that weekend to renew my spirit and remind me of His unfailing love, grace, and faithfulness. My prayer is that I will continue to walk in the peace and purpose He has given me and that others will experience His transforming love just as I did.

To God be all the glory.

In the Spring of 2025, I encountered the Lord in a huge way while attending the 3Fold retreat and my life hasn’t been the same, PRAISE GOD! Prior to registering for this retreat, I had attended and served on countless other Christian women retreats/ministries over a period of about 10 years. 

When I arrived at the 3Fold retreat weekend, I was carrying a few years’ worth of shame and sin. Somewhere in the hustle and bustle of 2020, I got off track on my walk with the Lord. Call it trauma response or call it what it really is…sin. I allowed myself to start using alcohol and psychedelic substances. I started researching other religions and doubting the love and forgiveness of Christ. I got so deep into “new age” philosophy that my heart started to harden and I felt like I was IN THE DARK (literally). I couldn’t  listen to worship music anymore. I wasn’t attending church. I wasn’t honest with my Christian women friends… I was eaten up with shame. The Lord never left me; I was ignoring his grace. 

A good friend mentioned 3Fold to me in 2024, but the time wasn’t right and I wasn’t ready to face the truth. Then, registration opened for the 2025 retreat. This same friend and I said, “if you do it, I’ll do it” … even though I didn’t have the money for it right away! I ran into another  person involved with 3Fold and she simply said “you should go!” I started to feel like the Lord was fighting for me; looking back, I realize He always was. 

Fast forward to the retreat weekend. Me and a couple of friends ride together and get settled in. Everything felt ON PURPOSE  and SPECIAL and SPECIFIC for me!! The verses spoken, the messages, the songs, the team of women serving seemed tireless and full of joy and freedom, it was contagious. At some point in the weekend, a word/verse was given to me and it stated “In His presence, there is FEAR OF THE LORD”. Initially, I was kind of upset and confused because I was not relating to it and didn’t understand it. But when I started to get into my Bible and read about the fear of the Lord and how the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, I completely broke down in the best way possible! Then, THIS WORD WAS SPOKEN OVER ME!! Wisdom… I was prayed over to receive wisdom.  WOW. Something broke OFF of me in that moment. FEAR broke off.. SIN broke off…I had not feared the Lord in YEARS, and this was my turning point. 

This retreat drew me closer to the Lord than I ever could’ve imagined.  I never thought I would be a born again Christian. 3Fold set the stage for me to receive forgiveness and learn how to repent. This is my daily habit now! Hallelujah! Jesus wants us FREE and 3Fold ushers in the presence of the Lord to accomplish His will! I’m so grateful for this ministry. My life has been restored and the Lord is still working. He’s renewing all the ruined things and has given me JOY instead of mourning!!
