The Upper Room Retreat (URR) is an experience designed to be transformative as it welcomes you to an intimate time of fellowship with the Lord through each carefully crafted event.
We at the “One Body At The Well Ministries” are a strong and vibrant community that will do nothing without the leading of the Holy Spirit.
So yes, we are all about the program and agenda of the day, but simultaneously fully open to the spontaneous move of the Spirit. Past experience of this sort has proven to be true with the explosion of the move of the Spirit of God.
This year, we chose by the leading of the Lord to engage rest as a means to awaken to His divine assignment in our lives.
Receive deliverance ministrations for spiritual liberation.
Enjoy periods of rest and reflection.
Dedicate time to private devotion.
Engage in personal sessions with spirit-filled, equipped ministers of God.
Experience a renewal of spirit, rejuvenation of the soul, and an invigorating spiritual uplift.
Relish in delicious food and engaging fun activities.
Experience fellowship with like-minded individuals.
Connect with a vibrant community of believers passionate about their God-given purpose.
Partake in water baptism if desired (subject to signing a consent form).
A culminating evening at the Upper Room Experience, where we celebrate the raw love of the Father through personal testimonies, miracles, and revelations. And, of course, food, fun, laughter, and the anticipated delight of marshmallows and s'mores by the fireplace.
The Campfire Hangout
In this strongly prophetic atmosphere, receive a specific word directed to you from God and from the Holy Spirit about your future and utmost heart desire.
A chance for baptism is now offered for those who wish to partake. Throughout the years, numerous believers have embraced a new or renewed baptismal experience and rededication to the Lord, surrounded by fellow believers in a celebratory atmosphere.
Prophetic Word
Activities from day one to the final day includes:
Baptism
We've curated a series of impactful and timely teachings tailored to the challenges of our era. These messages delve into strategies for overcoming both apparent and hidden obstacles that hinder you from realizing your true purpose in life.
Teaching Sessions
The INTOUCH EXPERIENCE is a live workshop designed to cultivate an "undistracted state of communication," fostering awareness of the present moment with full consciousness of both external surroundings and internal states. Through engaging your body, mind, soul, and spirit.
The Intouch Experience
Over the course of three days, we embark on a journey of day dawning devotion; each morning awakening to the first rays of light. In the tranquil hush of dawn, we individually approach the Lord, assuming the humble posture of an audience of One before the Master. With minds stilled and hearts hushed, we seek communion with the Father, longing to hear His voice.
As the sun ascends, casting its warm embrace upon us, we find solace in the sacred hour, where worries dissipate, burdens lighten, and spirits rejuvenate in the presence of our Heavenly Father. Each session culminates with communion and prophetic moments, as the Holy Spirit moves among us, bringing healing, deliverance, and transformation.
Sunrise Worship
This experience is available during services fellowship moments and/or private a session
Anointing & Deliverance Service
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
- Matthew 11:28
The Sabbath was an opportunity for God’s people to rest and trust. Taking time to rest in God is one way to demonstrate our love for God. God rested on the seventh day after creation and He introduced the Sabbath to Israel through Moses, as a holy day when God’s people must refrain from work. Even Jesus in His human frailty grew physically, relationally, and spiritually tired and needed time away to rest.
Jesus invites the weary to rest: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me” (v. 29). In Jesus, we find rest. The rest Jesus provides is soul-deep.
Sabbath Rest

God’s presence was great at the retreat ground. I was touched in many ways. I became the curious type who goes to get it all. Pastor Charles prayed for my boys and my husband. Pastors Kemi and Bimbo prayed for my girls.
My youngest daughter said she was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome and as a result, she will no longer get pregnant. Right now she is pregnant. My first daughter was prayed for for a new job and she just had an assuring interview.
My husband is turning around for good. My boys are doing great. My spiritual life is enhanced to God’s glory. My daughter plans to come to the retreat next year. God is good to me. I was able to meet many more brethren. It is a set apart time for closeness with the Almighty God. I look forward to it.
I was touched in many ways
