Desert Fire: Big Bend & Guadalupes

A west Texas wilderness retreat for desert stillness, Holy Spirit fire, Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and practical outdoor wisdom.

Jesus People 2.0 | San Antonio Metro November 2026 $500 planning target per person Signup closes two months before the final departure date.

Desert vision

A wilderness table under west Texas skies.

The desert retreat is built around the kind of quiet that strips away noise: prayer at sunrise, Scripture in the shade, shared meals, worship around fire, and unhurried conversation under the stars.

The shape can include Big Bend, the Guadalupe Mountain range, desert hikes, scenic drives, stargazing, survival basics, simple camp cooking, communion, teaching, and prayer ministry.

Signup closes two months before the final departure date. Exact dates are still being gathered so lodging, transportation, meals, and family needs can be planned well.
