If you did not create this account for a previous NYI Event\, please reach out to josh@thewellnaz.org. \n*Leaders – please help us out by keeping track of your church’s registrations through the above login. With this large of a group\, it is really hard to make adjustments upon realizing that your church is missing registrations after the registration deadlines. Logging in on your own and knowing who has not completed registrations is extremely important. \nPayments for retreat will be done via invoices to each church. Churches will be responsible for collecting payments from individuals\, then submitting one payment to the district. \n \n \n \n \n \n Refund Policy\n Because certain aspects of retreat must be paid in advance\, we are unable to issue full refunds. Churches will be responsible for payment of all registrations. Cancellations up to 2 weeks prior will be responsible for a $50 payment. Cancellations less than 2 weeks prior will be responsible for full registration payment. \n \n \n \n \n \n How Many Adults Should We Bring?\n We are requiring a minimum of 1 adult per 6 students and one adult per gender. So if you have 5 girls and 1 boy\, you’ll need both a male and a female chaperone. “Adult” is defined as over 20 years of age. \n*if you are a small church with a few teens\, but don’t have an adult to send\, please reach out to josh@thewellnaz.org.

This is FREE for NWO Pastors and staff. Non-NWO can attend for $25. \n\nThe reality of Mental Weariness stems from pressures that feel ever-present over a long period of time. These stressors can stem from being constantly needed\, always “on”\, seeking and failing to meet expectations\, dealing with an unpredictable schedule\, navigating frequent conflict\, decision fatigue\, walking through multiple losses\, and feeling disappointment with people or progress. You were not called by God to be the most stressed pastor or leader. You were called to model the hope of following Jesus by leading as a healthy shepherd! This workshop will equip pastors\, staff and faith leaders with practical tools and processes to shift from mental weariness to a mind set on the Spirit that is life and peace! \nAttendees will: \n\n Gain education on the neuroscience behind mental weariness\n Bring into the light hidden factors that contribute to mental weariness\n Be equipped with healthy coping\, thinking and action strategies\n Create a next step strategy to move into the reality of a mindset and rhythm that bring\nlife and peace\n Become healthier pastors leading healthier churches!\n\n  \nRegister Now!

We have purchased 50 tickets (value of $99 per ticket) for pastors and church leaders in our district to get immersed in what it means to become a multiplying church that makes disciples and sends out teams to start new works. We’ll also cover one night of your hotel room so you only need to pay for one night (estimated cost is $145). \nOur goal is that every district pastor and their teams attend at least one of these catalyzing events over the next 3 years. We’ll coordinate a couple of large shuttle buses for transportation so the only cost for your team is hotel accommodations. \nWatch the sneak peek video of a prior event HERE to see what it’s all about. \nTo register click this link: Register Now \nQuestions?
