Don’t miss this strategic investment back

into the life and health of your alma mater!

The Journey Home Retreat is a three day, two-night retreat designed to help Ouachita student leaders deepen their connection with God, themselves, and others. This is a unique investment in the lives of these leaders as we create space for them to experience the love of God in fresh, new ways. This authentic relational encounter with God is what college students long for and will produce the type of inner transformation our world desperately needs.

A relationally safe environment conducive for souls (which are very shy) to open up to love
A reformation of their own emotional image of God
Resources that will deepen all their relationships
Guided practices to help them live more at home in the love of God

I was impacted by the depth of God's love for me. I have known that in my head, and experienced his kindness, but something about the combination of experiencing God come to me in specific ways in this relational, intentional space opened a deeper level of experiential knowing in me.
