Holding Up the Arms of Those Who Serve
Lifted Arms Ministry conducts spiritual retreats for missionaries serving outside the United States in order to encourage them in their work.
Someone to Hold Their Arms Up
When Moses grew weary in his task, Aaron and Hur held his arms up until the fight was won (Exodus 17:12). Missionaries serving overseas carry weight most people never see. They just need someone to hold their arms up for a while.
Who We Serve
We serve missionaries who are living and working outside the United States, pouring out their lives for the sake of the Gospel, often far from family, church, and the people who know them best.
What a Retreat Looks Like
Instead of asking tired missionaries to travel home, we go to where they serve. Each retreat is a time set apart for rest, spiritual renewal, and encouragement. Rest is part of the original design.
Attendees receive a gift bag with small gifts from home and letters from their home church. The retreat includes worship, get-to-know-you games, free time, and an optional craft time.
How You Can Help
Pray for the missionaries we serve. Give so another retreat can happen. Stay connected through our newsletter and share this ministry with your church.
