Why a lottery?

We have chosen to use a lottery process because of high demand for our events. For both women's and men's retreats, demand exceeds supply. All economic laws are telling us that "more" is the answer: charge more money, do more retreats, include more people! But God has entrusted us with a message—a message about the heart, in which "more" is often heart-killing. We want you to experience these retreats (and most importantly experience your God in life-changing ways), but not at the cost of sacrificing the message we want you to experience. So, to better serve all of those interested in attending, we use a lottery selection process.
