Join Dan and Stephanie Burke for an unforgettable weekend of encounter, renewal, and deeper union — with God and with each other.
Discover how to develop and grow in real intimacy with your spouse during this three-day, all-inclusive retreat in Palmerston North.
This retreat is for married couples seeking to encounter God and grow closer to each other as one in Christ. Dan and Stephanie will delve into the unique roles of a husband and wife in the unity of marriage as they share their story of “Fighting Towards Each Other” — walking with you in discovering how incredibly powerful marriage is in your journey towards an ever-deepening relationship with God.
During this powerful weekend, you’ll learn how to more fully appreciate the spiritual strength that your marriage offers you and your spouse, and how to continue walking with each other toward the joyful life that God desires for you.
