This retreat is based on the following scriptures:

1. The value of retreating - Luke 4:42

2. Retreating on a regular basis - Luke 5v16

3. Retreating with others - Luke 9v18 & Luke 11v1 The truth is that Christ himself modelled for us the very kind of habits and rhythms of life we need in any age. Jesus didn't only retreat to be alone with God. He also taught his disciples to do the same (Mark 3:7; Luke 9:10).
