Our registration for the Thrive 2025 Australia Retreat is officially open! We are hoping to host 75 global workers in Melbourne, Australia in the Winter. We are now ready to begin putting together our 2025 Australia Volunteer Team. We are praying that God will build up a volunteer team of 30 women who are willing to serve the attendees at this retreat.
Before the official retreat dates, volunteers and staff will spend time onsite preparing for the arrival of our guests. This preparation will include training, getting to know each other, and setting up gifts, materials, etc. After the retreat ends, we’ll stay two additional days (optional, but recommended) to reflect and recuperate from the emotional and physical exhaustion before returning home. These days prove to be very beneficial for downloading and processing your experience at the retreat, and they provide an opportunity to see a bit of the area.
