How did you see God moving at this event?

I saw the women’s deep, deep desire to learn to do outreach. I also saw how God takes strangers and connects them, building immediate trust. Everyone, at one point or another, talked with each woman, and each woman made a special one-on-one connection with someone she just met.

Every woman who attended has serious issues in her life, yet God prompted each one to come and talk, open up, be real, encourage each other, and build each other up so they can share their faith with women who don’t yet know God loves them.

What made the retreat effective?

Providing the opportunity for women of any age to come together for training opened their eyes to see that there’s more than one way to do outreach, to share the Gospel of Jesus. Having this type of retreat was a brand new way to connect and share Stonecroft with women. It was worth all the planning, and I would do it again.

How have you seen the Stonecroft Military Team grow?

We challenged ourselves to set an example for women who attended, so they can see we are walking alongside them, as God has challenged all of us to take larger steps out of our comfort zones to share the Gospel.

All of us on the team recognize our strengths and weaknesses, and we’re all open to talking about them and to improving the team. We are obedient and available to each other, and to God first and foremost.

What comments did you hear from attendees?

We got a lot of positive feedback on the participants’ surveys. One attendee was excited about the new dimensions of Stonecroft. Another said she was happy to see that we are all about reaching the lost, and one wrote “Stonecroft Rocks!”
