NEWIM became a place of connection, a lifeline, a safe place to share and grow with other Christian women, and my life has been strengthened and transformed.
This community has been a beautiful place where God has allowed me to use my gifts in ways I never imagined. The friendships I've formed here, through serving and retreating together, are incredibly meaningful and will most likely last a lifetime.
In 2007, I came to my first NEWIM Springs Retreat. I came reluctantly. This was the third year I had been invited by my friend, our Women’s Director. I turned her down originally, saying, “A day of solitude would not only be boring, but not even possible for me!” But by the third invite, God’s Spirit had reached my heart and I said, “Yes.”
My dear friend and pastor’s wife at the time, invited me to a one-day Silent Retreat. I believe my exact words to her were, “Have you met ME?” I really couldn’t conceive of not talking for seven hours (9 a.m. – 4 p.m.). I did, however, really want to get away for a couple of nights with a girlfriend, and my husband really encouraged me to go. So I reluctantly agreed.
“The ministry of NEWIM has impacted me, restored me, and given me the spiritual tools and resilience I need to keep on doing what God has called me to do.”
“I'm so grateful for the Springs retreat experience...it had such input and impact in my life that it continued to draw me to toward knowing Jesus better…wherever I have come today, it is because of the journey that started there and the transformation he offered me and that time, I took it.”
“Thank you for providing a powerful resource for women like me who are in need of care and rest for our very own souls as we care and lead our churches.”
