Finding Purpose in the Pain Restoration Retreat was part of my healing journey. God showed me glimpse of what He can do amid our pain. When we are willing to be uncomfortable and open to God’s working, He will move in powerful ways.

Purpose in the Pain was life changing for me. I had recently given my life back to God and was looking for a deeper connection with Him, as well as a place I could be surrounded by others who had similar visions for where they were heading and who had been through trauma’s that they wanted to heal from PIP exceeded any idea I had of what it might be. I bonded with many, created lifelong friendships, and walked away feeling refreshed. The leaders pour out their heart and soul for these women. I am so grateful for Brenda and the calling she has on her life to support women in their pain. You will not want to miss out on this experience.

I am so glad I found out about the Purpose in the Pain retreat! I attended in March 2022 and am already signed up for the next one. When my son was arrested and then sentenced to 10.5 years in prison, it felt like my entire world turned upside down. My friends and family tried to be there for me the best they knew how, but I really felt like I was alone in this experience. Now I know I’m not! When I went to the retreat, I met other women with similar stories. Some had a child in prison physically, some had a child in prison to addiction, some had a child they had lost. But they all had a deep faith that God was working in their situations and lives, and it was powerful. We worshiped together, hiked, took yoga and art classes, ate great food, shared in small group, laughed, cried, laughed and cried at the same time. I hadn’t felt joy like that in a long time. The speakers covered topics in their breakout sessions that genuinely reflected God’s love and care for His children and gave us hope. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for answers to a painful situation.
