Retreat & Reconnect

At Polwarth, we believe there is immense value in getting away to reconnect with Jesus. When we remove the noise and clutter of our daily lives, we see that Jesus and the life He calls us to is nearer than we ever dreamed. No matter the size of your group, whether it is silent retreats, directed spiritual retreats, or speaking at conferences, Polwarth can help you and your group respond richly, fully, and heroically to Jesus’ invitation.

Polwarth Ministries is currently scheduling retreats through December 2021.

RETREAT TESTIMONIALS

The retreats Ronnie has led for YL Europe are among the most encouraging and spiritually formative times I have experienced in 20 years of ministry. His leadership is disarming, winsome, wise, humorous and grounded deeply in the love and life of Jesus. Ronnie has a gift for making spiritual disciplines accessible and equips his audience with tangible practices that are easily integrated into the day-to-day rhythms of life and ministry. As a mission leader, I am incredibly grateful for his ministry and the investment he has made into the spiritual development of our staff that enables them to live, lead and serve grounded in a deepening relationship with the Lord.

Ronnie has been on point for leading an annual Silent Retreat for our staff for many years. He has mastered the art of explaining the purpose, history and process of solitude and the role it plays in our spiritual journey. He has helped many of our staff discover the value of going deep with the Lord in silence and solitude for a few days each year as a way to care for their own personal long term spiritual health. He is adept at tailoring the experience towards the speciﬁc needs of the group with which he is working. He is effective with both those who are new to this particular spiritual discipline or those who have journeyed the road with Christ for years.

Without question, Polwarth Ministries in its focus on "pastoring the pastors" serves an invaluable need for those who are in front-line ministry. I never walk away from a retreat with Ronnie that I am not refreshed, challenged, and pointed toward knowing Jesus more deeply. I have transferred principles I receive from Ronnie to numbers of others for their spiritual benefit.
