And
they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives to the death.

"The PP Women’s
Retreat Was Fab! This weekend Totally blessed
my walk with God. It was a Great retreat!! Worship was
uplifting & ushered me into the presence of God! The messages were
compelling-convicting-funny-passionate-inspiring. He used my
sisters in Christ to confirm some issues of submission and serving I
was struggling with; this confirmation helped me to move
forward with God and not be so...umm ...."keeping Him at arms
length" with serving or stepping out in faith ...I was at..50%
I’d say. I want to be 100%. God spoke to me about a lot of
things about my relationship with HIM...I didn’t want to deal with-
that I thought were "whatever" - "its not that big of a
deal" , but were really impairing my walk. Thank you
JESUS!!! Thanks Pardoned Prodigals!"

Probably
the thing that really blew my mind and blessed me the most at this year's
retreat is the fact that the women were mostly ministering to each other
during free time. These are people who didn't have relationships
really before but had become vulnerable to each other in order to share
Christ. WOW. I can't wait until the next one.

Dear
Bridget,
Thank
you for having me at your retreat. God does
have His hand in all things. I felt so very touched this weekend. He
sure
knew where I
needed to be. All of the retreat was beautiful for me and I
am
sure many others if not all. I was blessed through the fellowship, the
praise and worship, the
talks, just all of it.
Bridget, you have such a gift of honesty and truth in your sharing. I
will
keep you in my prayers that the enemy will
not discourage you any more from wanting to share this with others. God
had you speaking straight to my heart and I
felt
so encouraged through you. Many prayers and blessings to you and your
ministries. Irene Hattman

I
was very blessed at this retreat! The Holy Spirit really refreshed
me, filled me up and reminded me what it is like to be expecting Him
and to be open for Him to use me. I want to thank you for making it
possible for me to go. You did a great job planning and making it
happen. And, of course, the worship was wonder

Wow!
Check out the pictures! This is just evidence of what a blessing
the retreat really was..
Anyway
here's my testimony...
This
retreat was so great! Along with having my dear friends there I was able
to have my Aunt and my sister too! What an absolute blessing. I learned
so much about the encouragement of the body to each other. I was amazed
at how the Spirit bought new friends together who needed to hear what
each other had to say and the life experience they have walked through.
And I saw old friends who were brought together to minister in a special
way. God is so good! He's in the business of teaching us to walk and
showing us how to minister. I learned that we need to just step out
in faith and minister, we may make mistakes along the way, but I
thank Him in His grace that He covers us. The biggest thing that I
learned, however, is that He is showing us the most excellent way, and
that is that the GREATEST of all the gifts is Love!
