Filled to Serve

7 Day Women's Retreat and Service Trip

Join Us for a Life-Changing Retreat: Serve, Grow, and Be Filled

🌿 Step Away to Be Transformed 🌿

Have you ever found yourself constantly pouring into everyone around you. Your family, your church, your friends, only to realize your own soul is running on empty?

We know that feeling.

That’s why we created Filled to Serve.

This isn’t just a mission trip, and it isn’t just a retreat. It’s a week intentionally designed for women who long to slow down, spend unhurried time with God, build meaningful friendships, and discover the joy of serving others from a place of fullness instead of exhaustion.

Together, we’ll worship, laugh, pray, explore the beauty of this country, and serve alongside the women and children of Haven Heart. As we walk with families in our community, you’ll witness God at work in their lives, but don’t be surprised if He does some of His greatest work in your own heart.

By the end of the week, our prayer is that you’ll return home refreshed, encouraged, and carrying a renewed passion to serve wherever God has called you.

What Your Week Will Look Like

Each day has been thoughtfully planned to create space for both renewal and purpose.

Grow in Your Faith
Spend time in worship, biblical teaching, and encouraging conversations with women who desire to follow Christ wholeheartedly.

Serve with Purpose
Build relationships through ministry with local women and children, community outreach, and practical acts of love that make an eternal impact.

Experience the Power of Prayer
Join us as we prayer walk through the community, visit families, and share hope in tangible ways.

Rest, Reflect & Be Renewed
Enjoy quiet moments with God, worship, fellowship, beautiful beaches, and space to simply breathe.

Experience the Country
Take in the beauty of God’s creation with a visit to a volcano, explore a local artisan market, and experience the rich culture of the country you’ll come to love.
