Habakkuk 2: 2 Retreat: the fellowship will spendsemi-secluded three days during the end of each year to recoil, refocus and reset our minds and hearts for the coming year for ministry both personally and corporately.
This will be a time bearing some semblance of Conclave-Monkish prototype setting! Restricted use of electronic devices, limited contact without the outside world; modest dietary eating during these days; partnership assignments; cell group discussions; lecturers and discussion on Vision casting etc. and private time for meditation and reflection. Learning to cast vision for 1 year, 5 years or 10 years.

Omega Publications- a self publishing entityof the fellowship: What was your last biblical presentation? Is there a manuscript for that presentation? Can you document your work? It has been said that, "One of the richest place on earth is the cemetery." Just think of all the recipes, poems, songs, sermons, and books that resided in the minds of individuals who only benefitted fromthe joy of their gift but left us either too soon or didn't deem it necessary to put on paper what this world momentarily enjoyed; what shared with us is lost forever. Oswald Sanders died early in life but his typed his lessons for years and turn his work into what we know today as My Utmost for His Highest. To establish a legitimate publishing element; to "press" pun intended, the Membershipto document their various preaching, teaching, lectures, poem and other literary forms; thus publishing their work.

A legacy piece established so that the present and future generations benefit from the models of Paul/Timothy - Spiritual Father and Paul/Titus - Spiritual Mentorship; the second piece is that preaching of gospel becomes the life - the obsession of the modern day announcer. This is a training piece which yields to the investigation and the development piece of what I call "The Evolution of the Preachment." What was it? What has it become? What must we do with it now? To become an Accredited School of Prayer, Preaching, Pastoraland Teaching.
