Although I hosted women’s retreats for small Bible study groups for a number of years, seven years ago, I embarked on a journey to trust that God had more in store for them. Since then, over 80 women have attended the P3 Emerge Retreat and experienced this vision that God set before me. They come in unsure of what to expect, some with reservations about spending the weekend with a group of strangers, and others excited to experience the presence of God in a new way, in a new setting. I am always in awe of what God does when He brings us together.

This retreat is a prayer manifested and it continues to evolve each year. The testimonies of women who have started ministries, launched businesses, received healing and deliverance, and so much more, are numerous. Strongholds are released at this retreat and I’ve been privileged to witness the fruit of their attendance. My prayer is that you’ll be amongst the number of women who can say they were not only waited on hand & foot, but they dined on decadent meals that fed (and overly satisfied) their physical and spiritual hunger. ~Erika
