Electronic Devices

Cell phones, laptops, and other distracting electronic devices will be off throughout the weekend. Tablets such as iPads are okay for reading scriptures or taking notes. Disconnecting from the outside world will be extremely important. An emergency number will be provided for you during check-in to give your family/friends in case of an emergency need to contact you.

What Can I Do To Prepare Until The Event?

We expect God to show up for you during The Heart of a Woman, which means that the adversary will come as well to “steal, kill, and destroy”. (John 10:10) Pray earnestly for those things that your father wants you to see (with fresh eyes) and write down what is communicated to you. Bring it to the retreat.

As an important part of your spiritual preparation, so that God can show up, and to prepare for the spiritual warfare that will come, we strongly encourage you to go to http://www.ransomedheart.com/node/31 and print a copy. An LDS version of the Daily Prayer is also available.

In the two weeks prior to the weekend re-read the book “Captivating” and pray at least one of the prayers mentioned above daily.

Together our prayers are mighty!!
