Something has led you to be interested in a sabbatical ~ perhaps the deep longing for a little rest and relaxation or even the recommendation of a friend or doctor.

A sabbatical is a great gift to give yourself. It is a way to experience a greater quality of life by taking this time to slow down and reflect upon who you are and whose you are. It is an extended retreat that lets you re-enter your world of ministry with a more vivid presence
