Our Values
Inspired by Psalm 23
Psalm 23 beckons us to trust in the tender care of the Good Shepherd and to experience the deep rest and peace that only He can provide. It's an open invitation to let Him guide you, care for you, and pour His blessings into your life. Whether you're seeking a closer walk with God or to find a place of deep rest, this cohort is designed for you. Come and join us on this sacred journey of renewal, intimacy, and transformation. Let's step into His grace together.
01
Rest
In the fast-paced, high-demand nature of ministry, we often forget to pause and breathe. We invite you to slow down and experience restoration.
02
Loving Care
Women often serve as the backbone of the church, quietly supporting its mission and carrying significant responsibilities. Come and experience the tender loving care of Jesus, just for you.
03
Connect
Ministry can often feel isolating and lonely. Deepen your friendship with God and discover new relationships with other women who are on a similar journey.
04
Renewal
With empathy, encouragement, and restored hope, reclaim your spiritual vitality and cultivate a life rooted in purpose and peace.
05
Holistic
We offer a distinctive, retreat-based cohort experience tailored for Asian women leaders, engaging the whole person----body, soul, and spirit.

Testimonials

Esther (2023)
My time at P23 retreat was a gift from the Lord; it was a time to encounter God's extravagant love for me in an intimate way. It was a safe space for me to open up to the work of the Holy Spirit whether it be through a meal with fellow sisters, through an activity, and even in the silence of His presence. I am so grateful that I had a chance to participate in such a gift of time with the Lord and fellow sisters.
Linda (2023)
During this retreat, I was able to to sit and discover who God was to me in this season of my life; to hear His voice. I discovered that God wants to re-establish his Lordship in my life during this season because He loves me and I matter to Him. To be fully seen, fully known and even still, be fully loved was a sweet/overwhelming reminder of who I am to Him.
Joanne (2022)
The P23 retreat is different from other church retreats. It's like going to a spiritual spa full of rest and restoration for your soul. It provided the space needed for me to slow down from the busyness of life. The retreat was truly led by the Holy Spirit which allowed me to have a such a memorable time of deep connection with the Lord.
