The Encounter Weekends

What is an Encounter Weekend?

An Encounter is a three-day weekend retreat. This weekend retreat consists of short messages that are designed to set you free from habits, wrong thoughts and past mistakes. God's objective is to transform you into the likeness of His son Christ Jesus.

Men's Encounter

The Encounter

The Encounter takes place over a weekend at a local retreat center. Before the Encounter, the participant's cell group is encouraged to pray and fast for those going. This is so they can have a remarkable encounter with God. The Encounter is much more than just a three-day retreat, in a setting away from the normal distractions of life. It should be an important time in the life of the participant. A time that will be remembered as a genuine encounter with the living God! The purpose of the Encounter is for the individual to undergo a transformation that will give birth to the character of Christ. We need a genuine Encounter with God in order to bring about a total transformation in our lives. It is also an Encounter with yourself, when you look inside your life to see the changes that God wants you to make. Finally, the Encounter will take you into the depth of the cell vision, making you reflect on the actual situation of the world and its desperate need of the Savior.

Women's Encounter

Some of the issues and subjects covered in the Encounter are:

  • Repentance and Forgiveness
  • Ancestral Curses and Iniquities
  • Sexual Purity
  • The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
  • The Vision

Who should go to the Encounter?

They are for every believer. If we have unresolved issues in their lives, we will carry the burden of these issues and live a defeated Christian life. As we move into the Group of 12 vision, it's important that every member goes through the entire process, so they can effectively carry out the vision.
