A 3 Day Journey to Get Closer to Jesus

A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN THREE DAYS!

 What is Three Days Ottawa?

We are a Christian renewal retreat based on time-tested practices inspired by the Cursillo and Tres Dias movements. These retreats take place over 72 hours called “Weekends”. There are separate Weekends for men and women, held in late May and early June.

What is Our Purpose?

Three Days’ mission is to renew and strengthen the faith of Believers in Jesus Christ. We do this by providing opportunities for people to encounter Jesus on a personal basis while encountering His Grace with others. We believe these experiences lead to renewal in our homes, our environments and our local churches.

What Does a Weekend Look Like?

A Three Days Weekend is a pilgrimage travelled in community but experienced personally. Each part of the journey builds on the previous leg.  A Weekend starts by looking INWARD with a focus on self-examination. The purpose of this phase is to help identify the traveler’s starting position as each person attending a Weekend will have a unique journey. It gives people the opportunity to reflect on fundamental questions such as Who am I? How am I doing? What do I actually believe? The second Weekend phase is UPWARD, focusing on Jesus Christ and the Cross. This leg provides the opportunity to truly reflect on and experience the Grace of Jesus Christ. The Weekend ends looking OUTWARD at the environments that surround the traveler as they prepare to return home.

Travelers journey the Weekend in groups or “tables” which serve as a important source of community and a safe place to unpack what is being personally experienced and learned. Each day follows a time-tested structure that includes a variety of talks, discussions, meditations and activities designed to capture the fundamentals of the Christian faith.

Weekends are centered around worship, prayer, reflection, Communion, great food and even better fellowship. There are also a few ‘surprises’ designed to reflect the Grace of Jesus Christ. 

Are There Expectations For Attending?

There are absolutely no expectations for how people should respond to a Weekend. Three Days is designed to meet people exactly where they are and support them on their unique Weekend journey. 

What Else Should I Know About Three Days?

While Three Days has blessed hundreds of Believers over the years and helped them increase their faith in Jesus Christ, it is not for everyone. 

Weekends are geared towards Believers who are seeking to renew and deepen their relationship with Jesus. Some find the daily structure to be intense. Others struggle with the fact that Weekends are not self-guided, contemplative or restful. 

We love the Body of Christ and are thankful that we are not alone. God has blessed Ottawa with amazing churches and ministries that are equipped to meet the many different needs of the Body. 

Who Runs Three Days?

Three Days is run by ordinary Believers and has no affiliation with any particular Christian denomination. It is affiliated with One Way Ministries.
