Our mission is to assist the local church in training up the next generations of disciple makers like Jesus.

We seek to be a movement of Great Commission people who are glorifying God by building Christ’s church.

What Will You Get?

At this retreat, you will have opportunities to rest (RETREAT) with young workers and leaders from other churches, RETRIEVE the solid foundations of Jesus’ life, and be RETRAINED in Jesus’ ministry model.

How to Sign Up

1. The Church’s Pastor should contact VAY by 11/15/22 to let us know that a) your church is interested in participating and b) who will be the point of contact for all your participants from your church (the Church Rep)
