Abolition Retreat

FAQs

Who is the Abolition Retreat for? This retreat is ideal for any follower of Jesus with a deep desire to help end trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Whether you’re already working in the field or you’ve just begun dreaming of how you can join the fight, we want to equip, support, and empower you to find your place in this global movement.

How will our time be spent? Most days will consist of a morning and evening session with worship and teaching. The afternoons will also offer the option of participating in your assigned mentor group, which will be led by an experienced abolitionist leader.

There will be several hours on most afternoons where you can relax or choose your own adventure. On site activities include: kayaking, paddle boarding, disc golf, swimming, and archery. Off site activities include: e-bikes, hiking, river rafting, and axe throwing, as well as nearby shopping, restaurants, and coffee shops in South Lake Tahoe.

Please note that there are rental fees associated with many of these activities.

What will I learn during the teaching times? There will be about 15 sessions of teaching and these will cover a range of themes:

• Casting vision for ending trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation
• Gaining insight into the calling of a modern abolitionist
• Understanding the current global climate of the sex trade
• Learning practical strategies Exodus Cry has used to effectively confront systems of injustice and offer assistance to survivors of sexual exploitation
