”Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you… have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.”

Philemon 1:7

The day-to-day realities of caring for a child with disability are often overwhelming. Isolation and fatigue can rip even the strongest families apart. Medical and economic challenges can weigh down hard on the hearts of the parents. And often, there are feelings of hopelessness. But at International Family Retreatfamilies find Jesus’ joy, hope, and love!

Meet Alessia, who lives with cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, who recently came to Retreat with her parents and brother. Alessia and her family experienced true spiritual renewal and the joy of Jesus at International Family Retreat! You gave Alessia and her family much to praise Jesus for as they felt loved and embraced by everyone and built memories that will last for years to come!
