All Christians Pavilion and Retreat Center at Poblacion Santol, La Union Another batch of Encounter participants excitedly hied off to the All Christians Pavilion Retreat Center at Poblacion Santol, La Union. After 5 weeks of Pre-encounter sessions, the participants were eager for more. And they did get more out of the 2-day Encounter God Retreat. In fact, they got so much more. So many lives were radically changed—hearts were softened, minds were altered, and there was forgiveness all around. Even the guides, volunteers, and workers experienced a ‘re-encounter’ with God. So many tears were shed as pent-up anger, grudges, hurts, and sadness were released and left at the foot of the cross. Everyone left the retreat venue with hearts emptied of excess baggage and filled with the Holy Spirit.
