We're Going BIG in 2020

*NEW* FOR 2020


👍 More trips, more initiatives, and more ways to Live Replenished.

This coming year will be a flagship year for us. We will do more trips than in the past two years combined. 

However, we cannot lose sight of who Replenish is...It is you! We exist to serve local Pastors and Leaders and provide resources to help keep you healthier and in ministry longer.

We are working on a curriculum for teams and launching a Replenish coaching cohort. We are expanding our trip leaders and training some additional leaders. We are on target to raise more money than we ever have before too. A busy time indeed.

👍 We offer general trips, specific trips (like Student Pastors), and private sponsored trips for Pastors and Leaders.

This year we want to help keep nonprofit directors, board members, community leaders and our business community Replenished. We don't charge for Pastor but we do ask those who can afford to sponsor a Pastor or a trip or introduce us to those who can, to please do so. 

We can put together a custom-designed trip for your crew. We did this for a Cabo San Lucas destination trip earlier this year. We have two Student Pastor/Youth Pastor trips for 2020 and are dreaming of a Church Planters trip, Worship Pastors trip.... can you dream with us?



👍 We have some new cool destinations including Dallas, Austin, Breckenridge, Cabo San Lucas and Los Angeles.

If we can design a special destination trip for you, we would love to. If you have access to a vacation home that sleeps 10-12 we would love to partner. In short, we have cool locations but can add more.



👍 We are not yet at capacity. We are looking for additional trip sponsors who can bring 10-12 leaders on a trip and/or support it financially. 

This coming year we have significantly increased our sponsored trips. Some provide people some provide resources and some provide both. If you are a networker, let's see how we can partner and get your peers and colleagues on a trip. You know people that we don't and we want to help you help them. If you are able to provide resources for trips, that is fine too.

What is the VALUE of a healthy soul?

In 2017, U.S. health care costs in the US were $3.5 trillion. Having a healthy body is a must but what about a healthy soul? How much would you pay to have a healthy soul?  A soul that enables you to love more, care more, be a better spouse or parent or leader, how much is that worth?

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?  For what can a man give in return for his soul? Mark 8

A body is kinda basic, our earthly experience requires it; but can we live without a soul? Some would say we dont have a soul. Can we touch it? Can we see it? Does it affect us? If so, how can we use this to our advantage? What does it require? The most important thing is how can we tell if it is healthy? 

These are great questions and some we explore on our Replenish experiences. 

On the lighter side...

Yes, we all have souls. Some have set out to substantiate this. If you are curious about how much your soul is worth there is an online test here and if you do decide to sell it, click here for a bill of sale for one's soul. Just for the record, you shouldn't sale your soul. 






On the more serious side...

Our soul impacts us tremendously. When our soul is full, we are better, give more, have more energy and are generally better people. When our soul is not full, or dirty or dark, it shows. We are cranky, unconcerned, restless, uncreative and generally not great company. Of course, to do justice in talking about a soul in a brief blog post is not even scratching the surface. We regularly discuss the "6 Domains of Soul" at Replenish experiences.

If you want more info on SOUL (not this kind), here are some recommended readings.

INFLUENCERS NEEDED

If you want to help us help Pastors and Leaders stay healthier and more effective there are several ways you can help. In addition, to Replenish trip experiences, we also have, in-services, keynotes, training, Replenish Coaching.

👉 Sponsor a trip. We have some open trips. We are looking for additional trip sponsors who can bring 10-12 leaders on a trip and/or support it financially. If you are interested in chatting about this, lets set up a time to talk.
👉 Praying, Giving. If nothing else, please pray that God would continue to use us to help Replenish Pastors and Leaders. If our leaders are healthy so will be the thousands of people they impact.
👉 Vision coffee. We would love to come to your church, small group, life group or set up a meeting in your home to share our presentation about Replenish and how you and your friends can help us make an eternal impact.
👉 Liking, sharing and interacting with us on Social Media. This is understated and overlooked but hugely important. Find us on the Social Media platforms below and interact with us. The more likes, shares and interaction we get, the more people see us and the bigger voice we have.
👉 Year-End Giving. We need to close the gap in 2019 and look to increase in 2020. Our budget doubled but we are providing more than twice as many trips. To produce the curriculum, resources and trips our budget for 2020 is just over $200,000 that us a huge number for our team but with our team of Facilitators and trip sponsors with God's help, we will get it done.

ALUMNI CHALLENGE

There is strength in numbers. Our board works with generous donors and trip sponsors to cover our big expenses. However, you, the alumni, the Replenished, can be a BIG help as well.

If each of our alumni gave $25.00 per month that would almost cover one trip every month. Think about it, 10 Pastors Replenished every month with your monthly gift of only $25. That is HUGE.

Our goal is to get every one of our alumni to be monthly givers at ANY AMOUNT. If you cant give $25, give something, it doesn't matter how much or how little. Our goal is for 100% of our alumni to give something.

HERE IS THE CHALLENGE

To end this year strong, we want to challenge 25 of you to lead the way and become a monthly donor AT ANY AMOUNT. This will get us well on our way of 100% participation.


YEAR-END GIVING

We need to close the gap in 2019 and look to increase in 2020. Our budget doubled but we are providing more than twice as many trips. To produce the curriculum, resources and trips our budget for 2020 is just over $200,000 that us a huge number for our team but with our team of Facilitators and trip sponsors with God's help, we will get it done.
