Formation Retreats for Ministry and Work 2014 (3 retreats)

We strongly believe that a healthy and active ministry life stems from a vibrant and renewed inner life. Inevitably, we must create space regularly to allow the Spirit of God to examine our hearts and our attitudes as we respond to His call to minister to others. These retreats focus on the formation of the inner life of the person in ministry so that out of that renewed centre of the heart, they will minister to others in the ways of Christ. There will be times of reflection, learning and community. Check out the 3 retreats this year for Educators, Sunday School Superintendents and church support staff.

Formation Retreat for Educators and Teachers (Joint-Initiative with TCF Malaysia)
This retreat is now an annual joint-initiative between TCF Malaysia and ICM as we invite all teachers from both the public and private sectors to carve out a short, quiet and reflective weekend so that they can allow the Lord to renew their inner sanctuary, the place from where all inspiration to teach is birthed and shaped. Come and join your fellow sojourners of the same heart and mind.
