How amazing would it be if you could spend three weeks with God, in a safe and encouraging place, filled with fellowship, encouragement, guidance and prayer to help you move forward into the life God has planned for you? Transform is Ellel’s longest retreat-style event which aims to help you live your life as God intended.
Transform is for anyone who is serious about finding God’s way for their life. It is a carefully laid out programme, designed to allow you to get the best out of your time investment. There will be lots of opportunity to receive through the team that will come alongside you. There will be plenty of time for fun, fellowship, many and varied activities but most importantly also time to be with God and to hear from His heart.
Be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2, ESV
Transform is for anyone who is serious about finding God’s way for their life.
Please note:
While there will be opportunities for prayer ministry and mentoring each week, this is not the focus of the event. These times are intended to provide guidance and help for you to discover the reality of the Lord in your own life.
Arrival is anytime from 2.00pm on the first day and departure on the final day is after the morning session by 12.00pm at the latest.
The weekends will be time for rest, for yourself and for church worship.
By Robert Steel, Director of Ellel Glyndley Manor
What I find fascinating about the letter in Philemon is the transformation that one person has gone through and the change that comes with it. Onesimus was a slave and was considered useless or unprofitable in who he was as a person. As a slave he was poor, rejected and in bondage. This is how we all were before we found Jesus.
