🌟Revive to Arise🌟
Retreat Recap
June 26–28, 2026

👑 "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." – Isaiah 60:1

​

What an unforgettable 2½ days together! The Revive to Arise Retreat was more than a weekend away—it was a divine appointment filled with worship, teaching, fellowship, healing, laughter, and spiritual renewal. God met us in a powerful way as women gathered to relax, reflect, refocus, and arise into His purpose.

​

🌸 Day 1 – Meet, Greet & Reimagine

Our retreat began with warm smiles, heartfelt hugs, and a beautiful Meet & Greet where women from different walks of life came together as sisters in Christ. As we shared a delicious meal and meaningful fellowship, new friendships were formed and hearts began to connect.

​

The evening continued with powerful teaching and encouragement from:

• Marsha Biddix, Founder of Women of Honor Inc., who challenged every woman to seek God's vision and finish the year strong.

• Shaleena Flanagan, who inspired us to trust God's process and remain faithful to His calling.

• Sharon Swain, whose heartfelt words and poetic encouragement reminded us of God's unwavering love and purpose.

• Dr. Norma Medina, who delivered a powerful message that encouraged each woman to walk boldly in her God-given assignment.

• ​

The evening concluded with a meaningful time of reflection as every participant prayerfully created a personal Vision Board, identifying goals, dreams, and God's direction for the remainder of the year. It was a beautiful moment of faith, expectation, and renewed purpose.

We ended the night enjoying wonderful food, heartfelt conversations, and sweet fellowship together.

🌿 Day 2 – Explore, Experience & Arise

Saturday began with excitement as we toured the beautiful City of Portland, enjoying its unique culture and landmarks.

 

Together we shared a wonderful meal at the iconic Cadillac Cafe, followed by a visit to the renowned Creo Chocolate Factory, where we enjoyed handcrafted chocolates and learned about the art of chocolate making.

​

That evening, the atmosphere shifted into a powerful time of worship and ministry during our Women Arising gathering.

​

Three dynamic women of God poured into us:

• Pastor Nasreen Nadeem, from Pakistan, challenged us to become courageous leaders by examining the lives of King David and other Biblical leaders and embracing leadership with humility, faith, and obedience.

• Rev. Sheila Hightower, from London, inspired us through the example of the Proverbs 31 Woman, reminding us that women of valor are called to be courageous, faithful, and confident in God's presence.

• Pastor Elaine Paul, from London, elevated us with a powerful, prophetic message, calling every woman to rise higher in this season. She ministered personally, speaking words of encouragement and prophetic declarations over each woman in the room.

​

We finished the evening with a special Awards & Recognition Ceremony, honoring five extraordinary women who have faithfully served as trailblazers, leaders, and ambassadors for the Gospel through their steadfast commitment, determination, and unwavering faith.

​

As always, fellowship continued long after the formal program ended. We laughed, shared stories, strengthened friendships, and enjoyed another incredible meal lovingly prepared by Private Chefs Dray & Kat.

✨ Day 3 – Commissioned to Arise & Shine

 

Our final morning together was filled with gratitude as we gathered around the breakfast table one last time, reflecting on all God had accomplished throughout the retreat.

​

A special highlight of the morning was prayer and presenting each woman with her personalized "thank you card" and Ministry Alignment Award, recognizing the unique calling, gifts, and Kingdom assignment God has placed upon her life.

​

Words of blessing, prophetic encouragement, and declarations were spoken over each one, commissioning each woman to:

• Arise in her purpose.

• Stand confidently in her position.

• Walk boldly in her calling.

• Fulfill her God-given destiny.

 

Together we declared Proverbs 18:21 and Declaration Prayer, embracing God's promises over our lives to watch Him breathe life into our purpose, peace, and destiny.  invitation to arise and shine as women of honor who will impact their homes, communities, businesses, ministries, and the nations for His glory.

​

💜 A Weekend That Changed Lives

​

Throughout these 2½ days, we witnessed God's love, experienced His peace, built lifelong friendships, discovered fresh vision, and received renewed strength for the journey ahead.

 

This retreat reminded us that we are not simply called to attend events—we are called to transform lives, influence generations, and advance the Kingdom of God.

​

As each woman returned home, she carried more than memories.

She carried renewed hope.

She carried greater confidence.

She carried fresh vision.

​

Most importantly, she carried the assurance that God has called her to ARISE, SHINE, and walk boldly into her divine purpose.

​

Until we meet again... continue to Arise, Heal, Lead, and Shine for the glory of God! 👑💜

With Love & Hugs,
