By the grace of God, Saint Luke Society (SLS) networks across multiple regions held local Christmas Retreats, coming together to meditate on the true meaning of Christmas and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. SLS Korea, China, Myanmar, Brazil, Latin America, and the Dominican Republic each organized regional retreats, creating spaces for worship, fellowship, and deep reflection on Scripture.
Across all regions, participants gathered to celebrate the birth of Jesus and to study biblical passages centered on the incarnation, redemption, and God’s plan of salvation. Through teachings from the Gospels and Epistles, members reflected on why Christ came into the world, His humility and obedience, and the grace revealed through His life, death, and resurrection. These times of meditation encouraged participants to renew their faith, repent sincerely, and respond to God’s calling with obedience and gratitude.
The retreats also fostered meaningful fellowship, prayer, and unity among leaders, members, and youths. Through shared meals, discussions, and group activities, participants experienced Christian community and were strengthened to live out the gospel in their daily lives. Many testimonies highlighted renewed joy in salvation, a deeper understanding of God’s love, and a strengthened commitment to proclaim Christ beyond the Christmas season.
Through these local Christmas Retreats, God poured out abundant grace upon each SLS network, reminding all participants that Christmas is not only a celebration, but a calling—to live transformed lives centered on Christ and to share the good news with others.
SLS gives thanks to the Lord for His faithfulness and asks for continued prayer, that the grace received during these retreats may bear lasting fruit and that each network may continue to walk faithfully according to God’s will.
