Last week I was honored and privileged to attend the Women of the Harvest Retreat in Denver, Colorado.
Imagine 85 women who live and serve overseas, gathered in one 5 star resort hotel to be pampered, loved on and the chance to worship and fellowship together. My roommate was from France. I met folks from "closed countries", some who have served many years in jungle areas, while others live and work in metropolitan cities such as Mexico City. The one common factor was that we were all living and serving Christ overseas.
We were lavished with gifts, books, CD's and we could even go to a clothes closet to pick out new outfits to wear. We had our toenails polished. Some had new hair-cuts. I took advantage of the free counseling service.
What a great organization. Women of the Harvest.
Check out their web site.
WOTH has 3 main areas they concentrate on:
1) Publication - I receive their electronic magazine and devour it each month. It contains helpful hints for missionary women
2) Retreats - just like the one I attended in Denver, Colorado
Read about the retreat on the WOTH blog
3) Micro-Loans "Hope for the Harvest"
