Every day, couples across Canada wake up unsure if their marriage will survive. Some are hanging on for the sake of the kids. Some are losing hope that things could ever change.
But when they finally take that brave step to seek help, we want to meet them right where they’re at and make sure nothing stands in their way.
For many couples, cost is a barrier, especially with the rising cost of living. That’s why the Weekend Getaway Scholarship Fund exists and why your generosity matters so deeply. Each scholarship request is carefully reviewed by our team to ensure genuine financial and marital need.
Here’s a quick story…
A woman from the Ottawa area entered every contest her local Christian radio station offered to win free registration to our Weekend Getaway in Montebello. She didn’t win… but she wasn’t ready to give up.
She reached out to us and shared honestly:
We've been having a rough patch in our marriage for the last several years and started living apart. We've been trying to fix it, but still have a long way to go…
With limited work shifts, the conference felt far out of reach financially. But thanks to generous donors, we were able to offer her a scholarship.
After the weekend, she wrote back with a BIG Thank-you!
We actually separated in 2015 and for 10 years lived apart and were on and off, but mostly off. I’m praying we can reconcile and prioritize God. God is softening our hearts…. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Really BIG thank you. Please pray for us!
This is what your gift does. It opens the door for couples who are desperate for real change but can’t afford to attend a Weekend Getaway.
Of course, our conference isn’t the only way to help a marriage, but it can be profoundly transformative. What an incredible gift you give when you help a couple step away from the stress of everyday life, enjoy a romantic environment they could not otherwise afford, and receive life-giving teaching that can truly make a difference in their marriage!
Thank you for considering a gift through the secure form below to bless a marriage in need! Your generosity brings hope, healing, and the possibility of a beautiful new story for couples.
