Chosen Retreat Offers Refreshment

Living Waters Network hosted the first Chosen, Partners in the Harvest retreat in Norcross, Georgia, on May 27-29. More than twenty women attended the weekend event, fashioned specifically for the wives of ordained Anglican Mission clergymen.

“Time is precious, and I am very selective on how I spend it,” declares AM clergy wife Val Eberhart. “The Chosen retreat did not waste my time. It was the most relevant and focused retreat I have ever attended.”

Chosen offers a time away for clergy wives to gain insight into their position as a partner with their husband for the Kingdom harvest. Teaching as well as fun opportunities to build relationships with other clergy wives are designed to bring a better understanding of their personal identity in Christ - all in a safe environment with those who share similar experiences and struggles.

“Our speaker, Acton Beard (LPC), has 25 years of experience and really understands the unique role of clergy wives,” shares Ellen Loomis, organizer and worship leader of Chosen for theAM. “If participants went away knowing only that we care about them, and more importantly, that God loves them, then we have had success.”

Plans are already underway to duplicate Chosen retreats in other networks across theAM.
