Spring Retreat Challenges Women to 'Go Deep' in Their Faith

May 2006 Octopus Faith retreat encourages Christian women to go deep in their faith with Jesus Christ. Held in Cornville, Arizona.

Chandler, AZ (PRWEB) February 15, 2006 -- This May 19 through 21, national Christian speaker and author, Janet Drez, will be offering a weekend retreat entitled Octopus Faith® for Christian women who are longing to go deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

The retreat is being held at Living Water Retreat Center in Cornville, Arizona and promises an intimate gathering of Christian women, worship with Ruth Roman, teaching with Janet Drez and time for women to relax, fellowship, hike, play games, and enjoy the great outdoors along the banks of Oak Creek.

According to Drez, Octopus Faith® is a faith that is too big for the box. It’s a faith that calls you to the deep things of God, keeps you connected to your Oxygen Line, and assures you can handle the underwater pressure. You will enjoy this creative, fun, and biblically-based journey to explore the 8 Tentacles of Octopus Faith - Praise: Do You Know Who God Is? Pearls: Do You Know Who You Are? Prayer: An Octopus Conversation; Pressure: How to Survive the Underwater Pressure; Power: Wrestling with an Enemy; Play: The Joy of Octopus Faith; Passion: Longing for Octopus Faith and Pass It On: Lead Someone Else into the Deep.

Drez is real, approachable and enthusiastic as she shares from her heart and from the Word of God. God has challenged her to go deep in her relationship with Him and to lead others on their faith journey. A wife, mother, business owner and speaker, Drez also facilitates WWit, the working women’s ministry and leads women's Bible studies at her home church, Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, is a facilitator for Moms In Touch prayer ministry and serves as the Prayer Team Coordinator for the Christian Business Women's Association. She is also the author of Putting the Pieces Together: A Christian Woman’s Guide to a Successful Home-Based Business and the Octopus Faith Bible study series (to be released 2006). She has written articles for the P-31 Woman and Obadiah Magazine and has been a guest on CTN Christian Television Nashville, Q96 Christian Radio, WBCL Radio Network Ft. Wayne, KPNX Channel 12 News, Sonoran Living and CBS 5 News This Morning. A graduate of the Proverbs 31 Ministries Speakers/ Writers Conference, Janet has spoken for dozens of groups, associations, retreats, conferences and churches nationwide.
