the Gospel message to others.
Retreat Leader
The Discipleship Program is conducted by Aneel
Aranha, founder and director of Holy Spirit
Interactive (HSI).
Topics
The Discipleship Program covers four subjects that
are fundamental to the faith before culminating in an
invitation to become or grow as a disciple of Christ.
• Repentance
• Forgiveness
• Surrender
• Prayer
• Discipleship
Empowerment and Healing
Although simple, by the end of the Program there is
rarely a single person who is not “on fire” for Christ.
There are numerous other blessings that people
have testified receiving including healing of soul,
mind, spirit and body.
Modus Operandi
The duration is about 7 hours and is conducted
over three evenings or one full day. The sessions are
preceded with the Holy Mass (if possible), a brief time
of preparatory prayer, followed by the talk, which is
then followed by a time of prayer, during which time
the Blessed Sacrament is exposed (again, if possible).
We recommend that priests be available to hear
confessions through the retreat.
Requirements
There are no charges for conducting the Program.
Most parishes take a love offering on the last day
and this is, from past experience, usually enough to
cover expenses. A good sound system is essential,
as is pre-publicity to gather as many of the flock as
possible for a life changing event.
