Men’s Retreat 2025

Meditation, Mountaineering, Meals & Mentoring

From 6–7 July 2025, the men of our church gathered for a refreshing retreat at Bethel House of Prayer on Penang Hill. Right after Sunday service, we hurried to Bukit Bendera and managed to catch the hourly funicular train up to the viaduct at 4pm.

Throughout the retreat, we had times of worship, life sharing in pairs, and finally, praying for one another. The primary theme of our fellowship is learning to restore others gently and humbly, based on Galatians 6:1-2. We also emphasized rejoicing with others who rejoice, and mourn with those who mourn, based on Romans 12:15.

A special highlight was our Monday morning hike up Penang Hill, where each brother was invited to look out for ‘interesting things’ along the way and share their discoveries. These simple observations became points for reflection, laughter, and gratitude.

While many were exhausted, the very same also left encouraged and refreshed – returning to their families and workplaces with renewed vision and strength. Thanks be to God for His presence throughout the retreat.
