Jan and Elena

Jan and Elena and their six children live in a small town in southern Germany. They met in their teens and have served the lord through music ever since. With their worship ministry called Loblied (songs of praise) they’ve written and recorded several songs and started having house church worship services called Loblied zuhaus (songs of praise at home). They’ve been dreaming of a barn as a place to gather and worship for decades and this dream is at the cusp of becoming a reality now that they moved into an old house with a barn.

A diverse group of eight people make up Jan and Elena's family, from children to adults, smiling together against a brown background.

Why a Global Pastor Retreat?

Renewal

Many pastors are spiritually running on "empty" and God wants time to give them time to rest and heal their hearts.

Vision

Pastors need time and space to get back in alignment with God and begin to dream his dreams for their lives and churches.

Unity

We as a church desire to bring the Global church together so that we can hear their burdens and gain a greater understanding for what God is doing around the world. We believe this will help us lead our church better.

Preparation

Because when the Church (bride) has their eyes locked on Jesus (their groom), we will prepare the way for His return.

What do they do when they are here?

We have intentionally created a space for rest and healing. First, we gather for worship and prayer. Next, we have created 2-hour time blocks for them to enter into distraction-free/screen-free rooms. During this time they will only have a journal and bible to spend with God in the secret place. Additionally, we encourage each leader to spend the day pursuing time with the Lord.

Can I contribute financially to this?

Definitely! One way is by offering housing to the families if you have a property in the Safety Harbor area. Another way is by giving to the "general" fund on the Harborside App. A portion of your gift funds these retreats and many other Harborside Initiatives.

What is it like to serve on global pastor retreat week?

We like to view it as a "reverse mission trip". The time and commitment is similar to a traditional mission trip where you would go abroad and serve. Serving is hands on. You grow in deep relationships with the families. Car rides, fun free time, and meals together are among the list of things you may be doing.
