What Is an Encounter Weekend?

You will want to enjoy this incredible experience. Men, women, youth and children all have their own special weekends so that they can feel comfortable and open with their peers.

We want all believers to get a chance to go on a three-day retreat where they can experience the power of the cross of Christ. Meet up with God in an overwhelming way. Lives are always transformed. Most people return and many have found their second Encounter better than the first!

We promise you that this weekend will be like nothing you have ever experienced before. Some people say that it is like a year of change crammed into one weekend. Your attitudes toward yourself and others will be totally transformed. You will feel lifted, freed, and focused toward your future as a Christian. Thousands have already gone and they are the proof of the wonderful changes that take place on these powerful weekends.

A Meeting with God

But the Encounter is much more than just a three-day retreat, in a setting away from the normal distractions of life. It should be a time in the life of the believer which he or she will look back to many times and remember his or her encounter with Jesus!

In both the Old and New Testaments, the Bible shows men and women experiencing great, life changing encounters with the living God. Abraham had his before he began his journey to be a great nation (Genesis 12) and Moses before he led the Israelites out of slavery (Exodus 3). Joshua had his before leading the people of Israel into the Promised Land (Joshua 5:13–15) and Isaiah before becoming a prophet of the Most High (Isaiah 6:1–8). Jesus had his before starting his public ministry (Matthew 3:13–16, Luke 4:1a) and Paul after his conversion and before becoming the master of the theology of the New Testament (Acts 9:3–7).

One can find many other examples of contemporary church leaders and their personal encounters with God before they entered into the full ministry that God had prepared for them.

Total Transformation

The aim of the Encounter is a total transformation that will give birth to the character of Christ in the believer. We need a genuine Encounter with God in order to bring about this transformation. It is also an Encounter with yourself, when you look inside your life to see the changes that God wants you to make. In addition, the Encounter will take you into the depth of the cell vision, making you reflect on the actual condition of the world and its desperate need of the Saviour.

Another goal of the Encounter is for you to see the Lord face to face, so that you are released from everything that hinders you in your ministry. The G12 vision regards everyone as a potential leader and the Encounter is a preparation for the training that takes place at the School of Leaders.

The Encounters are not just for your personal benefit, but an experience that you will want to share with others. You will be empowered to you go out and impact the lives of others through the Vision.

Encounters for All

Does this mean that the Encounters are only for new believers? No, they are for everybody. Often believers today have never been truly consolidated in their faith as experienced in the G12 structure. This means many issues dealt with at the Encounter are still unresolved in their lives. Sadly, they carry pain, bondage and demonic curses for many years and still need to be set free in some areas of their lives.
