Traverse City Ministry Retreats

Feel stressed by the endless demands of vocational ministry? A Breath of Heaven Bed & Breakfast offers Christian hospitality for those who are seeking rest and spiritual renewal in vocational ministry, as well as for married couples. The mission of our Traverse City Accommodations is to provide opportunities for sacred time, space and resources to help bring restoration and renewal through prayer and time with God…to return to the Gift of Sabbath. At A Breath of Heaven, we recognize the extreme pressures of being in ministry which can frequently result in frustration, discouragement, and burnout. In the midst of the stifling schedules of everyday ministry, one of the most important issues for those who serve in vocational ministry is the loss of Sabbath – the rest of God.

Immersed in the sights and sounds of nature, A Breath of Heaven provides a place to find peace and spiritual renewal through reading, journaling, prayer, and quiet reflection. Those who are weary and burdened by the daily grind of ministry are lovingly welcomed here. Enter into a time of Sabbath and allow God to impart His rest: physically, mentally, and spiritually.

The psalmist writes in Psalm 46:10; “Be still and know that I am God.” A Breath of Heaven B&B provides the setting, time, space and resources where you can simply lie down and rest, and receive the restoration so desperately needed. Jesus said in Matthew 11, “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” A Breath of Heaven provides a safe place for frazzled servants to stop and rest in an effort to reestablish, heal, and restore their relationship with each other, their ministry, and with God.

A Breath of Heaven seeks to provide a Traverse City Inn where individuals and couples can spend time away from the difficulties of ministry in solitude, spending time with their Heavenly Father that their day-in and day-out schedule does not allow. The benefits of a time away for reflection, prayer, and the start for healing cannot be overestimated. Allow Christ to impart a “breath of Heaven” as He renews, restores, and re-energizes you.

A Breath of Heaven is a place where you’ll find someone to pray with, to share struggles with, and to strongly encourage you. A Breath of Heaven provides a library of books and resource materials designed to assist in “getting back in touch” with your personal and vocational lives.

Discounts are available to those serving in vocational ministry for Sunday through Thursday stays. Contact us for special pricing. GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE AVAILABLE as a great way to say "THANK YOU" to your Pastor!
