CA-Desert Oasis Team Retreat
May 23-30, 2026
$2,000 (includes airfare, accommodations, transportation and meals. Price subject to change based on airfare)
Team Size: 10-12 people

As Parkwood invests in our partners of Central Asia to take the gospel to unreached peoples in hard-to-reach places, we serve and support their families and their teams so they might be healthy and remain steadfast in the work of the gospel. Team retreats are a significant part of this work as we come alongside our partners to support, encourage, and pray with them. 

Parkwood and the Desert Oasis team will gather together in Italy to study the Word, fellowship with and encourage one another, and celebrate the work that has been accomplished this past year. We'll also get to spend some time with our Parkwood family, the Rileys.

Parkwood will also hold the specific responsibility of leading the children's program. On this retreat, we need people who can serve kids by teaching the Word, and helping with games and activities. Consider being a part of this special time.
