What to Expect

This year’s theme is Moving from Striving to Sonship. Together, we will learn from Romans 8 and be reminded that the Christian life is not about earning God’s favor through effort or religious performance. Instead, it is about living as beloved sons and daughters, empowered by the Spirit and secure in the finished work of Christ. Yeshotsav (“Jesus celebration”) is an incredibly unique retreat, where you will be surrounded by fellow believers who also come from Hindu backgrounds.

Each day, you can expect devotional teaching to strengthen your faith, testimonies from fellow Hindu background believers, and meaningful times of prayer and worship in your native language. We will also offer workshops designed to equip you to be a blessing to your family members, coworkers, and peers. In addition, there will be plenty of free time for fellowship, team building, and recreation at Twin Oaks Ranch, including swimming, canoeing, organized games, and campfires.

Our prayer is that God will meet you in powerful ways as you step away from the busyness of daily life to rest in your identity as part of God’s family, and that when you return home, your faith will continue to flourish as you live confidently as a beloved child of God.
