We’re starting the new year on a 6-acre property in southern Tenerife, with a heated pool, trampoline, and outdoor cinema. It’s the Hawaii of Europe with 70°F in January.
December 30, 2026 — January 6, 2027
Seven days. One purpose: finding God’s calling for our lives. We’ll process our past, think about our future, and discern the next step God wants us to take.
This retreat is designed for young adults. If you’re between 20 and 30, join us and escape the cold winter for a week of connection, growth, and renewal.¹
From majestic volcanic landscapes and unforgettable whale-watching experiences to surf sessions and golden sunsets — Tenerife is full of adventure. But this retreat is about more than experiencing the beauty of God’s creation. It’s about making space to hear His voice, gain clarity for the road ahead, and discover how our passions, careers, and God’s end-time mission all come together.
Welcome to Guía de Isora, the sun-drenched southwest coast of Tenerife. Tucked between the ocean and the mountains, this is a place to escape the rush of everyday life and create space for what truly matters. Surrounded by nature, yet close to charming coastal towns, you’ll find the perfect balance of adventure, peace, and inspiration. A place where the noise fades, your heart finds rest, and you can draw closer to God through prayer, reflection, and His word.
Should I pursue this relationship? Take this job? Move to a new place or stay where I am? How do I know if I’m truly following God’s plan for my life? The Bible actually tells us how we can discern God’s voice in the midst of uncertainty. Learn how to recognize it and move forward with greater confidence.
Your future is shaped by the decisions you make today. But in a world filled with endless options, opinions, and pressure, making the “right” choice can feel overwhelming. After this seminar, you’ll be a more confident decision maker.
You don’t have to carry everything alone. Take time to slow down and process your journey with a Christian psychologist. In confidential one-on-one conversations, you’ll have space to be heard, find perspective, and experience God’s healing presence in your life.
Jesus said, “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world, and then the end will come.” But what does that mean for your life? Do you have to become a pastor or missionary to make a difference? God has given you unique gifts, passions, and skills. Discover how you can use them creatively to advance His cause — whether in business, the arts, technology, education, or wherever He has placed you. Learn how to connect your passion with His mission and live a life that makes an eternal impact.
Everything is included — except your flight ticket. But don’t worry, getting to Tenerife doesn’t have to break the bank. You could always (like Jonah) charter a ship instead… although that might take a little longer.

You’ll share your room with one other guest of the same sex—after all, even the disciples were sent out two by two. Prefer a little more solitude? Contact us for the single-room price.
Morning surf sessions, afternoon hikes, and late night talks at the pool. Connect with others and build lasting friendships.
Spots are limited, so don’t wait too long to sign up—unlike the antediluvians, you won’t have 120 years.
Expect fresh, colorful, and nourishing vegetarian and vegan meals, along with plenty of delicious fruit to keep you energized throughout the retreat. Think vibrant breakfasts, wholesome dishes, and tropical flavors—with enough plant-based goodness to make Daniel and his friends proud.
This week isn’t built around big-name speakers — it’s designed around your spiritual and personal growth. You’ll discover what God has been teaching you through your past, gain clarity for where you are right now, and define practical next steps for your future.
Flying to Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is easier than you might think. You take a red-eye flight to Portugal or Spain and then enjoy a smooth ride down to the island. You can choose a long layover and even spend the day in Barcelona! We’ll pick you up at the airport on December 30 and drop you off on January 6 by 10AM.³
Imagine waking up each morning feeling completely refreshed, stepping outside into nature, and beginning the day with your Bible as the sun rises. You’ll talk openly in small groups about your challenges, dreams, and goals—and build eternal friendships. You’ll finally have space to process your past, gain clarity for your future, and discover how God wants to use your life.
