JOIN US ON A TRIP TO SERVE @ ST. SIMONS ISLAND, GEORGIA
Experience a week of quality time together serving families living through childhood cancer on a Lighthouse Family Retreat.
This impact trip will be a memory-maker, and a transformational experience for the parents and children you'll get to serve. Retreats are full of extravagant service … serving meals, leading fun children’s activities, setting up for theme nights, and creating environments where cancer families can get away to rest, restore relationships, experience joy, and find hope in God!
As a Family Partner you will be paired with a family living through childhood cancer to help serve them throughout the week with things like preparing and decorating retreat family housing, doing their laundry and dishes, playing games, and most of all, strengthening relationships that will last a lifetime. You'll play a critical role in creating a retreat experience that provides joy and hope while strengthening families. "Family Partner" FAQ's - Click Here
SERVANTEE Team Info Lighthouse has reserved 12 adult spots for our team. You may serve as an individual, couple or a family. Please let us know if you would like to bring your kids, as this is a great opportunity to serve as a family.
We'll plan to connect as a team leading up to the retreat so we can get to know one another better. Plus we'll have several group gatherings during the retreat to encourage each other and share in what God's doing in our lives and the lives of the families we'll get to serve.

Above and Beyond Donation (Optional): On average, the minimums raised leave a $20,000 gap in the cost of each retreat. LFR knows that everyone’s fundraising/giving capacity is different. Therefore, if you are able, they invite you to help bridge this gap by setting a donation/funding goal above your minimum. This helps make it possible for LFR to continue serving all families living through childhood cancer on retreat at no cost to them. A suggested amount of $500 - $1000 per person above your minimum helps LFR bridge this gap.
