Pray Until Something Happens

This retreat was an invitation to return to consistent, steadfast prayer. In a world that values quick results, we took time to slow down and rediscover the strength that comes from staying in conversation with God. The early church prayed constantly because they trusted that God listens, moves, and answers in His timing.

Built around Scripture and focused on practical faith, this retreat helped us understand what it means to keep praying even when we don’t see immediate results. Persistent prayer is not about repeating words, but about holding on to faith, trusting that God is working even when we can’t see it. We learned how to pray through challenges, remain hopeful in delay, and support one another in prayer.

Together, we worshiped, reflected, and practised what it means to PUSH – Pray Until Something Happens. This is prayer that endures, prayer that believes, and prayer that makes a difference.

Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man

Luke 26:36
