Explore your call to join God in global mission during this weekend retreat.  Hear the Call is a powerful discernment experience for adults feeling called to short term mission trips or long-term global service.

Participants will interact with global servants and staff of International Ministries who will help attendees evaluate their call, answer questions, and address misconceptions of what it means to serve cross-culturally.  This interactive weekend includes worship and Bible study, small group discussions and inspirational messages from those who have walked the path already. You will have personal reflection time set against the beautiful backdrop of the Glen Eyrie Castle & Conference Center, nestled among the red rocks of Colorado.
