2017-03-14 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | Desert Streams Ministry, 808 Circle Drive, Monroe, NC, 28112, United States
Have you ever gotten to the place where you just couldn’t take it anymore?
Dreams. Programs. Jobs. Relationships. There are so many different areas where we feel like calling it quits.
It’s time for an honest conversation on how not to give in to the temptation to give up.
Nicki Koziarz is a woman who has thrown in the towel a time or two. In fact, she’s quit just about everything in her life. But with God’s help, she’s discovered a few habits that have helped her and others conquer the choice to quit.
5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn’t Quit will enable you to:

Evaluate the internal personal struggles that make you want to quit.
Cultivate consistent habits to help you progress toward your goals.
Receive a fresh dose of perspective from the Bible that will help you develop perseverance.

You are not made to quit! Join Nicki as she identifies five habits to help you keep going no matter what struggles may come your way.

Marriage Retreat

Are you in need of a holiday after the Holidays?? Desert Streams has just the thing for you…
A MARRIAGE RETREAT!!! We are planning a fun weekend away this year. This retreat is designed to help you have fun with your spouse, while learning more about building your home on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ.
We have found a BEAUTIFUL home in Cherry Grove so that we can have a smaller setting that really feels like a vacation! The link to the home is here: https://www.vrbo.com/802000

It will be FEBRUARY 10th-12th ( yes, we are helping you with your Valentine’s Day plans or a Christmas gift ). The cost of the Retreat is $300 per couple and will include lodging, breakfast Saturday & Sunday, dinner Saturday night, and teaching materials. Since we are looking to rent this house, we need a $50 non- refundable deposit by January 6th. This is a 12 bedroom, 14 bath home, so you should have plenty of privacy, plus it’s a new home!
Please feel free to share with any couples that may be interested and let us know ASAP if you would like to join us- space is limited.

The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer
2017-01-17 10:00 - 11:30 | Desert Streams Ministry, 808 Circle Drive, Monroe, NC, 28112, United States
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you. He’s after your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, and your destiny.

But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.
The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
We are excited to announce that starting Tuesday mornings, January 17th – February 28th from 10-11:30, we will be exploring Priscilla Shirer’s study, The Armor of God. The cost is $15 for this 7 week study. Let us know through our FB page, our email (desertstreams@frontier.com), or give us a call at 704-283-5032. Ladies, bring a friend or come as you are- we look forward to seeing you there!

Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted by Priscilla Shirer
2016-09-13 10:00 - 12:00 | Desert Streams Ministry, 808 Circle Drive, Monroe, NC, 28112, United States
What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session Bible study, Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city!
Childcare is not provided due to limited space. The cost is only $15 for the 7 week series & pre- registration is required by September 1st.
