Being a disciple or follower of Jesus is a lifelong journey. It is best done in community. The Discipleship Cohort is an opportunity to journey with other women as you grow deeper in your relationship with God, discover and develop the unique person God has made you to be, and engage in the destiny God has for you. This cohort is designed for ALL women, in ALL stages of their faith journey.
Starting in February 2019, each cohort consisting of a small group of women will meet together with a facilitator twice a month for a one-hour video conference call. The hour will include a short teaching session, sharing with one another, an introduction to a spiritual practice and prayer. Your six-month cohort will be the start of your community of sisters at the 2019 I Am Conference.
Join us on a journey that will transform your life. Cost is $40 to participate.

The Training Retreat will be a meaningful and enriching experience for everyone who attends. All AVA materials have been newly updated and revised and new components have been added. Additionally, new guidelines and volunteer job descriptions for both AVA and MTS have been developed, so those desiring to serve in this ministry—all team members in any role—whether focusing on AVA, Mending the Soul, or desiring to be available to do both, need to attend the full Training Retreat. Women and men are welcome; those interested in learning more about the ministries of AVA and MTS before committing to serve are welcome as well, however, all participants are asked to fully participate in all dimensions of the Training Retreat. Cost of retreat $89.
