On December 1-3, 110 pastors and church leaders joined the ENLACE staff for the Annual Pastors and Leaders Retreat. Leaders with diverse backgrounds and experiences traveled from all over the country to participate. The theme of this year’s retreat was “Renewing Our Communities” and the retreat afforded these pastors, who work tirelessly throughout the year, a chance to be rejuvenated. Pastors took the time to better understand God’s vision for their communities, to form friendships with other churches, and to recommit, with renewed strength of vision, to transforming their communities through serving their neighbors. When all was said and done, they celebrated the culmination of God’s great work in 2011.

Lights, camera, action!

Several ENLACE staff showed off their hidden acting skills by depicting the story of Nehemiah, the theme of this year’s retreat, in a drama on the first day.
Testimony

Pastors and church leaders spent many hours in conversation learning from each other’s experiences, not only during sessions, but also during meals and leisure time.
