We believe that the first step in becoming a disciple is to be "free indeed." Jesus said: "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will SET YOU FREE" (John 8:31-32 NIV).
An Encounter Retreat is a weekend short course in freedom - freedom from habits, bondage's, bitterness, wrong thoughts, and past mistakes. At the Encounter, the Lord will set you free through the power of the Cross.
What is an Encounter?
As men enter the Lazarus Project they begin a spiritual walk toward deliverance from their addiction. An Encounter Retreat is a very important part of that transformation. During these sessions men realize the love of God through the power of the cross. They see the importance of releasing their past and accepting their future through Jesus Christ.
