My experience at Reston and Rebuild retreat was life-changing.

A few words that come to mind if I had to summarize it,

healing, eye-opening, safe, challenging,

restorative, hopeful, intentional, and lots of fun.

I attended Reston Rebuild with my husband, which quite honestly took each of us and our marriage from barely hanging on by a thread

to knit together under the shelter of the father's love and forgiveness.

One of the first things that Elisa told us when we arrived was that we would go home in the same place if we just stayed comfortable.

Well, we stretched ourselves both literally and figuratively, pushing us to embrace the call God had for our

lives. If we experienced the Father's love in a holy healing way and we heard and saw the

Holy Spirit move in ways that we had never experienced.

The small group discussions, Bible teachings, workouts, choosing sessions that interested

us, being able to rest, nap, or play when we needed to, having

deep meaningful conversations with people we just barely met.

These were all factors in the transformation that took place in us as individuals and in our marriage that week.

This retreat is truly for everybody.

I'm convinced that no matter your shape, size, fitness level, whether you're introverted or

your male or female, old or young, going with a friend or completely by yourself,

attending with your spouse, which I highly recommend, God has something special

for you if you attend Reston Rebuild.

The teaching, training, coaching, fellowship, all the fun that you're going to have are a wonderful

investment in your life and honestly it's cheaper than therapy. If you feel

the nudge jump in, do it, get uncomfortable, it will change
