Abound 30A Retreat at Santa Rosa Beach
Every time we conclude a retreat, we declare, “That was our best retreat!” Seriously, ABOUND was our best retreat to date. Flawless in execution, and excellent in content, the whole retreat was filled with God’s incredible love, power, and glory. Let me try and paint you a brief picture of how the Lord helped birth and execute this retreat:
2022-2023: Anne Coleman Hufham (ACH) dreamed of having a retreat in her home town (Santa Rosa beach). Her vision was 20 people in a living room. Despite flooding the Lord’s throne with tears, He said, “No, not yet.” God’s plan was to give ACH her heart’s desire but on a much bigger scale.
Sept 2024: ACH & Janie Denney (COO) took a step of faith and talked to Watercolor about holding a retreat. They brought a contract proposal to Jahan Berns (CEO). Jahan looked at the contract price and broke into a nervous sweat. Later on Jahan prayed, “God, I like the venue but we just can’t swing that price. Can’t we pitch a tent somewhere near the beach?” Jahan was thinking that if we went with that venue, we might as well count our dollars and determine when we would eat our last meal and die. Oh, ye of little faith!
Oct 2024: Triumph of Hope’s (TOH) team met, prayed and heard the Lord clearly tell them to proceed with Watercolor. ACH heard from the Lord that the theme of the Retreat was to be “Abound”. So we bolstered our faith in prayer, and signed on the dotted line…and then God began to rain down the miracles.
Nov- Dec 2024: With Lord aligning all the needed resources, we began inviting people, and also started our prayer campaign. We set both physical and spiritual goals for the retreat and began to knock really hard on God’s door. We wanted not just good but God success.
Jan 2024: As our staff team prepared, all our family, friends and prayer team joined us in a global intercessory effort inviting the Lord to show up at the retreat to save, heal, deliver, and personally touch each participant. It seemed that God Himself poured out a spirit of prayer upon us; and we prayed and cried out for His love and presence in a way that we scarcely know how to describe.
Feb 2024: Despite battling various attacks, sickness, disappointments, and setbacks, we marched into the retreat with a set determination to see God work. On Friday night as over two hundred people raised their hands in worship, the presence of God rushed into Watercolor, and swept over the worshippers like a mighty tidal wave. In each session, people wept with love in the all-consuming presence of God. Each person whether speaking, ministering, or receiving prayer and the Word, felt the love and presence of the Lord in a tangible way. It seemed that the glory of God grew with each passing day.
We can never get to the bottom of thanking God for how He swept in and healed hearts and bodies, broke the enemy’s hold and set people free, healed marriages, worked reconciliation, convicted people of sin and forgave them of the same; affirmed and confirmed His people in the waters of Baptism; and set people’s hearts ablaze with the holy flame of the Holy Spirit. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
