The vision of the International Women’s Retreat is rooted in Genesis 32:24–32, where Jacob wrestled with God. Since its establishment in 2019, the retreat has gathered women from various nations to seek the face of God through prayer, fasting, worship, and the teaching of His Word.
The conference is dedicated to cultivating a deeper hunger for intimacy with God and has become a place where many lives have been transformed through genuine encounters with Him.
