Retreat starts Friday with rosary and Mass at 8:00pm, ends Sunday with Noon lunch.
Open your heart and respond more fully to Jesus’s invitation of abundant life. See lincolndiocese.org/unbound for more about Unbound Ministry.
Based on the book, Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance by Neal Lozano, the retreat will help uncover the lies that have kept one from God and from His mercy. Unbound ministry prayer teams will be available on the retreat, to pray with participants using the five keys. Retreatants are asked to have read the first nine chapters of the Unbound book or watched the video series if you want to be prayed with.
Unbound provides a safe and effective model that helps individuals respond to the Gospel and apply the Lord’s grace, love and truth by deeply listen to their own story and heart. Based on the book, Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance by Neal Lozano, it employs five keys that enable people to experience a profound conversion experience: 1. Repenting of sin and expressing faith in Jesus; 2. Forgiving oneself and others; 3. Renouncing the lies, spirits and tactics of Satan; 4. Taking authority over the works of Satan; 5. Receiving the Father’s blessing.
The in-person retreat includes the opportunity to receive an Unbound Prayer session with trained members of the Diocese of Lincoln Unbound Ministry.
