North America

Leader Retreat

Dear NewThing Leader,

We are so thankful you could join us for this year’s retreat! As a new season opens up for NewThing in North America, it’s more important than ever for us to be together, learn from each other, be filled again with the power of the Holy Spirit, and receive practical help for the mission.

The best is ahead for us. Please know the new North American team is radically committed to serving you. We see you as a Movement-Maker. We designed this time with you in mind. It is our prayer that you leave our time together refreshed and equipped for what Jesus is calling you to next in terms of reproducing disciples, leaders, churches, and networks.

Take this time to focus in on the mission and what Jesus has for you during this time. Our team appreciates all that you do to move the Kingdom forward and we hope that this retreat reflects that.

Sincerely,

The NewThing Team
