Dragonfly Retreat Opportunities

“For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”
2 Corinthians 4:6

Our Mission Statement - Through teaching and encouragement, our desire is to instill the love of Christ in the hearts of God's children, regardless of age or life's circumstances, so that their hope may be in the Lord.

The Dragonfly Ministries Retreat Team has developed several amazing retreats for your Women’s Ministry group, themes like “In the Stillness, Speak Lord”, "Come to the Water and Drink", "The Gifts, the Giver and Me", and "Closer to You", "Teach me Lord, to Overcome", "Open Arms' and 'Intimate Worship'.. The focus of these retreats is to teach each participant how to scripturally train her heart and mind to hear God's voice clearly as He speaks. God's desire is that all know Him and hear His voice. He has a plan for each person’s life, and as He reveals His plan, we must be able to hear and recognize His voice. Whether your church chooses an evening event or an entire weekend retreat, participants will receive training on walking closer with the Lord, interact in fellowship and Bible study, and hear inspirational testimonies from women who have learned to hear God's voice. Each woman will take home important tools that will help her continue building her relationship with our Lord.

Retreat Bible Teachers:
Over the past few years, Dragonfly Ministries has been blessed with bible teachers who have intimate relationships with the Lord. These teachers pour out their hearts and lives into the retreat sessions.

Teachers include:
Martha Shipman
