Revive Initiative

We had the honor of hosting pastors from Texas, North Carolina, Maryland & Mississippi this week. A little fishing mixed in with a lot of rest and laughter.

At Revive, we provide places and spaces pastors & church planters to breathe.

Need to catch your breath? Interested in sponsoring a pastor on a retreat? You can get all the info at ReviveInitiative.com.

From the Revive family to yours, Merry Christmas!

“Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine. For you will break the yoke of their slavery and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders. For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end.” - Isaiah 9

Trading stress, pressure & busyness for rest, joy & smiles.

The smiles tell the story. 2025 has been a year filled with joyous rest for so many leaders who’ve spent time at a retreat with The Revive Initiative. Ministry leaders have been able to catch their breath. They’ve found rest for the soul, laughter for the heart & friends for the journey.

And we could never help these leaders without the generous contributions of those who support our work by adopting pastors and contributing to retreats so that pastors & church planters can get away for a free retreat to help them breathe and rest. THANK YOU to every person who has generously invested this year!

If you’re considering making a year-end Kingdom investment somewhere that can make a huge difference, we’d love for you to consider us. Your generosity helps church leaders stay healthy.

This Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to join us in helping give back to pastors and planters who give so much to the people they serve.

Every donation helps us give rest, hope & joy to ministry leaders around the world by providing free retreats that help pastors and planters catch their breath.

We would be honored to have you partner with us. You can contribute online here: https://www.reviveinitiative.com/donate

Pastor’s and church planters from all over Texas spending a few days catching their breath on Lake Tawakoni. At Revive Initiative our heart is to help provide ministry leaders laughter for their hearts, rest for their souls and friends for the journey.

THANK YOU to all the generous people who help provide these retreats at no cost to these hard-working pastors. If you’d like to partner with Revive for 2026 & help pastors and church planters get the rest they need, check out www.ReviveInitiative.com/donate.

At every single Revive Retreat pastors & church planters spend some time one evening praying for one another. We share the current pressure points of ministry we’re all facing and we ask God to move in mighty ways.

We’ve seen legit miracles happen because of the prayers around this campfire or on this porch. Marriages restored, wayward children come home, financial needs met & more.

When you, your church or your business contribute to helping sponsor a retreat you’re creating a place for a ministry leader to be prayed for and pastored. They’re usually on the giving end of those encounters. Your generosity allows these pastors to receive.

Church planters from Florida, Chicago, Seattle, NYC, Nashville, Alabama & Portland at the Revive retreat this week. They threw down on some big fish this evening on Lake Tawakoni!

Here we help pastors & planters catch their breath. If you’re a church planter, pastor or ministry leader in need of a break or living in isolation, don’t do this ministry thing alone.
