The Great Escape
Spring Break Retreat for International Students and Scholars
What is The Great Escape
The Great Escape is both a spiritual and fun retreat for international students and scholars from all religious backgrounds. It is an opportunity to escape the pressures of academic life for a brief period and retreat to a quiet place for some spiritual refreshment and to discover together what the Bible has to say about who we are and how we can live a meaningful and purposeful life. There will be music, teaching from the Bible, and spiritual discussions. There will also be lots of time for fun activities like a day trip to Nashville, TN, ziplining, escape rooms, hiking, a talent show, games, and friendship-building. This is a college and young adult-focused retreat.
Each day we will gather together for a time of singing, and hear from a notable speaker who will help us explore our spiritual journeys and learn about God & the Bible. All are expected to attend the sessions.
