An Encounter Retreat is a divine appointment
with God, meeting Him personally, face-to-face. It is exciting, refreshing, and liberating weekend!
Whether you
are a new believer or a mature Christian seeking for more intimacy with God, the Encounter Retreat is a great investment in
your relationship with God. This special time has often been described as a "radical change in 48 hours", and that
is truly what it is!
Who Can Attend?
Only those who have completed the Pre-Encounter course and have
registered for the Encounter are allowed to attend.
Each Encounter is led by an Encounter Team composed of JIL
Pastors and Leaders.
Where Do We Hold the Encounter Retreat?
Encounters are held at a location away
from the church. We have found that there is something about an unfamiliar environment that is conducive to the moving of
the Spirit of God.
What is the schedule
for the Encounter?
Encounter Retreat is a two-day event, which begins in a Saturday morning and ends on a Sunday
evening, time of uninterrupted ministry.
What is the Cost of the Encounter?
The cost of the Encounter
is whatever amount is needed to cover food and lodging expenses throughout the Retreat. The Church subsidizes all other expenses,
like printing of manuals and other expenses related to the Encounter.
