Interested in a Retreat or Study Kickoff?

We would love to help you kick off your discipleship Bible study with your entire women’s ministry! This can be customized in any way that you would like, but the main options would include training sessions with your leadership team and training sessions with your whole group. You plan the event at your location choice and invite your ladies. We will help you build a schedule and retreat that present a mini-study and teaches all the ladies how to put the model into practice so everyone is on the same page. We have seen tremendous growth in just a weekend! Email info@thistlebend.org with your request!
