RETREATS AND INTENSIVES

Going Deeper Together

 

HowToLife brings young leaders together to step away from everyday distractions, seek Jesus, build healthy Kingdom relationships, surrender more deeply, and return home stronger on mission.

 

From one-day discipleship intensives to multi-day retreats, these gatherings create space for young people from across cities, regions, and nations to go deeper together.

 

What Happens?

 

Retreats and intensives include extended time in:

 

• Scripture and biblical training

• Prayer and worship

• Fellowship and honest conversation

• Repentance and surrender

• Rest

• Mission and practical activation

 

Some gatherings bring together leaders from one local area.  Others connect HowToLife Event and Community Directors, emerging leaders, missionaries, and staff from across a region, nation, or even multiple countries.

 

Why Retreat?

 

Some things are difficult to cultivate in a two-hour meeting.

 

Stepping away from ordinary rhythms gives young people space to examine their lives in light of Scripture, listen to one another, seek Jesus, address areas that need surrender, and build relationships with other young people who are serious about following Him.

 

These gatherings have become some of the most important spaces for deep discipleship and leadership development across HowToLife.

 

Local, Regional, and Global

 

HowToLife retreats and intensives can take many forms:

 

One-Day Intensives – focused days of discipleship, Scripture, training, and mission.

 

Local & Regional Retreats – bringing together leaders and communities from a particular area.

 

National & International Gatherings – connecting young leaders across cultures and regions to learn from one another, pray together, and strengthen shared mission.

 

The Goal

 

Not another temporary spiritual high.

 

We want young people to return home with deeper roots in Christ, greater clarity about how to follow Him, stronger relationships, and renewed courage to live faithfully on mission.
