"This retreat changed my entire life. If I would not have experienced this myself, I would not have believed the person telling me that such a change could happen in one weekend. I like to refer to this weekend as an intervention by the Holy Spirit. One of the greatest gifts that also occurred is that the exact same experience I had, so did my wife. So together we were on this new found journey filled with Christ's love for us. Our life today looks nothing like it has before the retreat. We still have all the same problems that life deals us, but today we view them entirely different, because we know God is leading us. So whether we can understand why or not, we know God has His reasons and that's good enough for us. Not everyone who attends the retreat will experience Christ in the same way we have. But everyone has the opportunity to choose Christ, and in that of itself will change your life. Because you made a personal commitment to replace yourself as the centerpiece of your life and put Christ on that throne. My prayer for everyone is let Christ completely lead you and attending the Light of the World retreat can help you get started."
