Are you a woman in ministry in need of renewal?

Come before Winter helps women in ministry, both paid and volunteer, experience deep renewal in their spiritual life, in their relationships, and in their ministries. We want to see women in ministry thrive, and we know that happens only when they spend dedicated time with God.

Apply for a Renewal

Women in ministry often lack support.

We know that being a woman in Christian leadership can be difficult, lonely, and thankless.  (We’ve been there. Our teams are made up of women in ministry like you.)

Do you feel…

    • Frustrated, overwhelmed, or burned out?
    • Lacking in training and resources?
    • Uncertain about your role or call to ministry?

You don’t have to feel that way. Come before Winter provides space for women in ministry to be seen, heard, supported, encouraged, and, most importantly, to deeply connect with God.

Do you want…

    • Dedicated time to study the Bible with other leaders?
    • A space where you can be your authentic self without judgment?
    • Unique spiritual practices to draw you closer to God?

We want to walk alongside you as God renews your whole self – body, mind, and spirit. Experience God’s renewal & transformation with Come before Winter.

What renewal attendees are saying

Pam C. (participant, Australia 2025)

If you feel prompted by God to attend a renewal, whether it is your first or more, I would recommend that you follow that leading.

Patricia C. (participant, Spain 2026)

Come before Winter has been a time to reflect, heal, and experience Jesus’ love in a caring way. Through the program, I realized how broken I was. Facing my pain before God helped me to heal and restore my relationship with him.

Julie G. (participant, Panama 2025)

The whole renewal was set up to give us the Word of God and then the tools and space to hear from him in our hearts and souls. And speak he did – to all of us in such beautiful ways.

Lydia G. (participant, Australia 2025)

I have found CbW to be deeply refreshing and renewing. I came here scattered, feeling all over the place and tired. I’m going away gathered, feeling held and rejuvenated. It is as if CbW were a container holding me together, allowing me space to breath and grow and rest. And be joyful again.

Julia Z. (participant, Spain 2026)

God’s tangible guidance and gentle nudges during the renewal display his joy of renewing weary hearts and souls and therefore are most certainly a testimony to how he enjoys partnering with his children by blessing this unique and incredible work.

Sonia R. (participant, Malaysia 2026)

This renewal was altogether a sign for me from God that I am loved and cherished. I saw God’s love in every woman. Connections made, tears shed, hugs given, Scripture shared. It’s encouraging to know that God’s faithful family is all around the world.

Maribeth I. (participant, Malaysia 2026)

This renewal has been such a breath of fresh air; I feel totally renewed and ready to tackle any challenge! It was like getting a brand-new toolkit, filled with exactly what I need for whatever comes my way. The training and resources were exciting and new – practical guides that show me precisely how to handle difficult situations.

Bree E. (participant, Australia 2025)

I will be going home feeling free and with hope for the future. I will have “supplies” for the next time to know what to do and a beautiful community of sisters to go to for support!

Women in ministry, we see you, we know your struggles, and we are here for you. You are not alone. Come before Winter is your space to meet with the Lord, to be affirmed, to learn, and to be loved.
