Lighthouse of Hope
Gatherings for the Entire Family
Bothell, Washington
The desperate need in this hour in our nation is the Lord's Holy Visitation and an Awakening to the Lost Truths that in the early church "turned the world upside down" (Acts 17:6 NLT). All our Gatherings are dedicated to that taking place. Consequently the Holy Lamb of God is piercing the souls of young and old. Over and over we are humbled, overcome with awe, and overwhelmingly aware that none of us will ever be the same.
These are compelling accounts of what is taking place during these Lighthouse of Hope Gatherings:
Yesterday in Bothell it felt like what it must have been in the early church when God's people of all ages gathered together in beautiful unity of heart and loving one another as deeply as real family do. And at one point with faces lifted up toward heaven, we worshipped with all our soul and all our strength and everyone’s countenance shined with the Glory of the Lord. During those amazing moments it was as if time stood still.”
“There was a descent from heaven last night. We all sensed something sacred and holy was taking place. Then over and over, men and women expressed how precious it was to be there. This rare unity of heart and spirit caused the fire of God to sweep through the room. Instantly lives were visibly impacted. An awareness of the manifest presence of God completely enveloped us.”
“We were shaken to our foundation that afternoon. The passion of those who were present was clearly evident as each one shared. One woman came in spite of extreme physical pain only the night before. She would not be kept away. There was such an overwhelming presence of God that all those who could, bowed low or were prostrate. All we could sing in hushed awe and for quite some time was, ‘Holy, Holy, Holy are You Lord God Almighty. All heaven and earth are filled with Your glory.’”

Annual Women’s
Course
“Born To Make A Difference”
Lynnwood, Washington
This has become a stunningly life-changing Journey we are on together as women. In fact, what has been happening each month is so affecting us that we each realize it’s going to impact God’s destined purpose for us the rest of our lives.
This is an amazing testimony about these gatherings for Women: “There is always such an air of excitement and expectation as each one arrives. Many even come from great distances. The impact of what each person shares at the beginning of the meeting about why they want to be there is stunningly profound. The teachings are powerfully riveting and are shared by Ruth with incredibly transparent honesty. The impact is remarkably visible on the faces. The genuine love and encouragement demonstrated among those present is as deep as I’ve ever experienced. Each time we gather, the women share their hearts with such vulnerable honesty and transparency as they testify to the radical impact of the ministry and teaching on their lives. I am always overcome with immense awe at what I hear them describe the Lord has done. The magnitude of what is expressed defies words. You have to be there to see the radiant countenances and hear the humble, broken testimonies. For those who come to these gatherings for women always go home changed forever.”

Annual Women’s Retreat
Passion For His Presence
At Camp Burton on Quaint Vashon Island,
Washington
September 14-16, 2012
In this hour women desperately need a safe place of rest and refreshing in the midst of the hardships and losses of life. Each year they find that peaceful, renewing, safe haven at this Retreat.
Women seriously need encouragement. The kind of significant encouragement that imparts a deep sense that, “I can make it! No matter how severe the challenges I am up against.” This depth of encouragement always flows like a mighty river among us throughout this profoundly impacting weekend for women.
What we experience is actually explosive because the magnificence of what takes place surpasses anything we’ve ever encountered with the Lord or with His people. For the Father always draws women to this Retreat each year who are longing for the Presence of our God and who yearn for His Holy Visitation that always descends among us. Due to these unprecedented encounters with the coming of the Lord of Hosts there are actually moments that are breathtaking and we are all unforgettably overcome with awe.
The women the Father draws to this Women’s Retreat each year also have often heard about the genuine love that flows all weekend among us. So they know when they arrive about the sincerity of love they will experience that will just about immediately begin to revive places inside them that are overwhelmingly in need of being refreshed.
We long to have you with us when we gather together again in the hidden away haven of Camp Burton on quaint Vashon Island. For what you experience will be worth every sacrifice it takes to get there and every seemingly impossible hurdle you have to overcome to be with us.
