POPAPIC Silent Retreat-Advance
for Ministers and Leaders
POPAPIC Retreat-Advances are designed to facilitate spiritual growth and cultivate a keener perception of the Voice and Manifest Presence of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel.
Every aspect of the retreat encourages participants to receive from God through quiet meditation, prayer, and personal conversion. This spiritual journey is further enriched by scriptural insights shared by the Retreat Master-Servant, with the surrounding grounds, silence, and accommodations all purposely curated to support each individual’s unique encounter with the Lord.
Offered by POPAPIC, Inc., these silent retreats consist of approximately two days of consecrated quiet time. The environment is strictly "silence-consecrated," creating a space where participants refrain from speaking to one another so that everyone can speak directly to God.
The core components of the experience include rest, private prayer, meditation, and a series of scripture-based "Instruct-Talks." Retreatants are invited to fully embrace everything the Lord offers during this intentional time of solitude in His Manifest Presence.
What it was Like to Attend the Summit
"I have been a Christian for over seventy (70) years. was saved at seven (7) years old. During my life God has taken me to the top of the hill, to the top of the mountain. I have been with Presidents. at the White House with George Bush, Sr., I have been at the National Prayer Breakfast with Nixon when I was President of the Louisiana Municipal Association. I met Dr. Billy Graham when he was in Baton Rouge. at the time he was young in the ministry and I was young in politics.
I have been on many retreats, but God sent me to this one again for the second time at the very right time. The POPAPIC Retreat-Advance is by far one of the best I have ever experienced. I am 78 years old and I do not know how much more time God is going to give me, but whatever time I have left I am going to use it doing what God has commanded me to do.to tell others about Him. I want to thank you Ken for inviting me."

"This is my second one and I have truly enjoyed myself. At the first one we talked about waiting on the Lord. This time we dealt with the same thing but it seems we went a lot deeper. I'm able to understand and fully accept that we are to grow not so much upward, but we are to grow deeper in God. The food was just awesome, both the spiritual and natural food."

"I have a vision for the City of Baker, but I am at times a little impatient..... but what I need to do in my life is allow God to do it. God spoke to me that Baker is to be a model City so I am believing God. I am just grateful to be here and thankful to walk with God, to be receptive and to have this time of quietness where I can hear from God."

"Before I came here, I knew that if I would die I would go to Heaven. But I always thought there was something else that I needed. Before I came here I did not know what to expect. Once I got here the Spirit of the Lord started working with me in a way that He has never worked with me before.
I learn to talk to Him and that the voice I heard coming back to me was not me talking to myself but it was the Spirit within me talking to me. when I went back to my room last night I got on my knees and to be honest, I cried like a baby because I got what I came seeking for."

"When I got here I had a list of things I wanted to see God to move on or wanted some answers on. On yesterday after the first or second session the Lord began to tell me what to do...systematically, everything I had written down for which I needed answers or solutions, throughout the course of the day God gave to me."
