Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It is ladies retreat season again, and this serves as your personal invitation to the 2009-2010 Retreat Season.

LAST SEASON retreats ministered to women in seven nations in five of our continental regions through International and Regional Ladies Retreats. There were many testimonies of the great miracles of God during this time, as we celebrated and purposed to Awake and prepared for the dawning of the second coming of Christ. Thank God for all He has done! And Thank You for your prayers, efforts, and support that continue to impact this ministry as it continues to be a tool which God can use.

Some important information regarding registration can be found at our web site http://cogop.org/287781.ihtml

Retreats, possibly our greatest opportunity for personal ministry to women, are powerful tools, as they provide opportunities for women to come together for relaxation, fellowship, worship, prayer, and education. In addition to continuing to provide spiritual, emotional, physical, mental, and family ministry, retreats also open doors of opportunity for conversions, becoming more aware of the work of the Holy Spirit, as well as training young women to minister in a ripe and ready harvest.

The theme for the 2009-2010 season is Awake - Call to Battle. As you remember the anointing and freedom of the Holy Spirit during the last retreat you attended, allow the Lord to speak to you concerning with whom you might invite to share this ministry experience.

Please join me in prayer and fasting for this retreat season. And make plans to come and join us at Regional Ladies Retreat as we worship, fellowship, and explore God's Word together. I am looking forward to seeing you in an upcoming retreat. We will anticipate receiving your applications.

Preparing to Awake and respond to the Call to Warfare . .
