Leader,

you need to rest

We don't have to know you personally to know that you could use some rest. In the fast-paced nature of life it's difficult for us to assess how we are actually doing. This trip is designed to give you a few days away to rest, recharge and send you back with excitement for what God is going to do in and through you.

WHAT TO EXPECT

FELLOWSHIP

FELLOWSHIP

As pastors and leaders it can sometimes be difficult to find friends and real community. During these getaways you'll have the opportunity to meet, fellowship, and commune with those who are running the race with you. You don't have to put on a mask or pretend everything's ok, this environment is safe to open up about your struggles and our hope for you is that you would establish friendships with other pastors and leaders so you don't do life alone.

You pour into others on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis. We are passionate about making sure you get poured into and leave feeling empowered, encouraged, and energized. We don't just want you to experience rest, we also want to give you the tools to keep a healthy rhythm of rest so that you not just survive, but thrive in all that God has called you to.

FAQs

From the very beginning of hosting Getaways, our heart has been to make them super affordable for leaders to draw away and spend time recharging. The average trip costs around $875 per person however thanks to generous donors, these trips are free! Limited finances never keep anyone from attending these events and thanks to those who partner with us scholarships are available.

As we help pastors embrace a lifestyle of rest, we've come to realize that most pastors have common pain points in their organizations. Lead Pastor Getaway sponsors are organizations that provide resources that make pastors' lives easier and allow them to focus on their purpose.

These organizations help fully fund lead pastor Getaways, ensuring that costs are never a hindrance for pastors experiencing rest.

Our primary purpose and operations are providing loan assistance to churches and church-related entities so they can expand their facilities, purchase land, build, renovate, or refinance current debt. We are able to provide these loans with the funds that are invested by individuals and organizations who value a faith-based investment opportunity. We currently have approximately 1,400 loans with churches and organizations all across North America. The vast majority of these loans are first mortgage-backed with buildings or land as collateral, and most are guaranteed by the local district or denomination they are affiliated with. In our over 75 years of operation, WIF has never had to foreclose on a loan that we have provided.

Friends of the Selah are organizations that provide resources to pastors and churches and sow into them through sponsorship funding.
