This past weekend 21 people participated in the Powerful Question Retreat at the Augustine Center in Conway, Michigan. Nine of those individuals found their powerful question and eight presented on Sunday morning. It was a hard-working retreat and some said it should be a week long, not a weekend long retreat. A few participants said that it was a powerful healing event. If there was a common denominator, it would be that most were in some sort of life transition and wanting to know what God wanted next from them.

As the retreat coordinator, I was moved and humbled by the response. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in a profound and tangible way as evidenced by the stories we heard from participants. I cannot thank my brother Joe, and Michelle Nemer enough for their support and expert facilitation on the retreat.

Numerous next steps have emerged for the Powerful Question Institute. Most certainly there will be future retreats. Keep your eyes on the website. The next one will be announced soon. Other endeavors are under “exploration” and will be announced when ready.
