South Bay Young Working Saints Retreat
Introduction
We would like to invite all the young working saints who are meeting in the South Bay churches for a blending retreat.
The purpose of this retreat is:
1) To blend the young working saints in the South Bay to be more in the reality of the Body of Christ.
2) To receive a fresh infusion of the Lord's speaking so that we can shine as luminaries in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation.
Even though the retreat is one-day only, we expect that the Lord will richly bless our gatherings with His sweet presence. We hope all the young working saints in the South Bay could sanctify and consecrate this time to the Lord for His move.
