My name is Marjorie. God revealed to me that I was in desperate need of healing from an abortion I had 33 years ago. He led me to a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat. At first, I could not understand that I needed the retreat. After all, I had gone to confession years ago. However, there was still something the Holy Spirit needed to accomplish. I was greeted with love and compassion from the initial phone call forward. I can honestly say that the woman who walked into that retreat at 6pm on Friday was a far different person at the end of the retreat on Sunday evening. The unbelievable redemption which I experienced could only be achieved by attending the retreat and surrendering my agony to the Holy Spirit. I tell you this because it is possible you, or someone you know, are that person who God is calling to be healed. Just answer two simple questions: 1. Do you want to find peace so beautiful which only Christ can grant? 2. Are you ready to experience the grace and mercy that only God can give? I encourage you to give yourself the gift of a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat. The Holy Spirit has a weekend designed specifically for you. I will be happily praying for you as you discern what God has planned for you.

Before I arrived, I was so nervous and afraid, because it was all unknown. Now I feel so happy because here I learned that God truly does love me, and He gave me the peace I was looking for.

I felt so guilty when I came here, with a guilty conscience. Throughout the retreat I started having the desire to recognize what I don’t need to carry in my life anymore. After these two days I feel what I have not felt in years, true peace. I am so very grateful to God and the marvelous team who served us.

At first, I felt nervous and with fear but as the retreat went on, I began to see the healing take place and now I leave as a new man who is healed and has a deeper faith and love for life. My pain, fear, and unforgiveness, they aren't there anymore.

The change has been so big. Comparing to how I used to look at things, and how I used to not forgive myself and now that burden is gone. This retreat has restored my life. I feel completely a new woman, at peace and very loved by God.
