It is so important for missionaries on furlough to have some time of rest and relaxation, time to focus on meeting with the Lord and connecting with your family in a special way. We hope this list of free retreat centers will be a blessing to you as you plan your furlough.
The following organizations offer missionaries retreats at no charge. These are times of spiritual refreshment rather than just vacation times, but missionaries basically chose their own activities with the approval of the organization.
A Quiet Place | Located in central Kentucky, A Quiet Place provides a place for spiritual, physical, and relational renewal for missionaries and others in full time ministry. Guests arrive on Sunday evening for a complimentary (including meals) five-day sabbatical with a self-directed program that concludes on Friday morning. Adults only. | ||
Quiet Place Ministries | Located in Michigan, Quiet Place Ministries does not yet own property, but it does rent cottages or cabins in quiet, peaceful settings for missionaries to have a retreat at no cost for lodging. Quiet Place Ministries provides places where families can spend time together with the Lord. Children are welcome (meals are not included). | ||
Missionary Care Ministry | Located in north Georgia, Missionary Care Ministry offers missionaries free lodging for up to a month in a guesthouse on 11 acres of land. This is intended to provide restoration to those who need to be encouraged and equipped to better proclaim the gospel. Singles, couples, and large families are welcome (some meals are provided). | ||
Creekside in the Rockies, Estes Park, Colorado | We are pleased to offer stays at our home in Estes Park, Colorado free of charge to ministry workers and missionaries. Our desire is to provide a place where families can get some well deserved rest and an opportunity to reconnect with each other and with our Lord. | ||
