This document provides guidance for conducting an encounter retreat. It emphasizes that the retreat is a team effort that should focus on allowing delegates to encounter God. It outlines establishing a regional encounter team and preparing speakers, teams, and pastors. Details are given for the encounter schedule, activities, and non-negotiables like maintaining an atmosphere focused on prayer and preventing distractions.

2. CONDUCTING AN ENCOUNTER
1. IS A TEAM EFFORT- SO WE NEED FIRST TO BUILD OUR TEAM.
2. IS MORE ON MINISTRERING THAN SEMINAR SO OUR GOAL IS
FOR ALL THE DELEGATES TO ENCOUNTER GOD AND BE
MINISTERED.
3. IS LISTENING TO GOD’S DIRECTION TO OUR PERSONAL LIFE
AND MINISTRY.
4. THEREFORE, WE MUST BUILD AN EGR TEAM OUT OF THOSE
PASTORS WHO HAD ATTENDED THE LAST ENCOUNTER
RETREAT.
NOTE: FOR THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY DOING THE ENCOUNTER,
CONNECT TO OUR LAST ENCOUNTER.
