Since its founding, Cleopas & Company has retreated with thousands of youth and youth ministers across the country.  We are most blessed to have been called to serve God in this retreat ministry and we thank Him every day for placing that call in our hearts.  We are constantly in awe of the power of the Holy Spirit!

Cleopas & Company is called to minister to young people and their ministers wherever the Spirit leads.  As you can imagine, a ministry like this can have large expenses considering travel, materials and lodging costs.  Some groups have no problem covering these costs, while many others would find it daunting to engage our services because of finances.

Cleopas & Company has never declined to serve a group because of monetary issues -- and we never will.  We feel that strongly about the mission our Lord has given us! 

We operate according to the lesson given us by Jesus; "To whom much is given, much is expected." (Luke 12:48).  The generosity shown to us by our more endowed clients allows us to minister to those groups who are less fortunate.

Would you please support our Mission? 

"How can I help," you ask?

1. PRAY for us -  Prayer is powerful!  Pray, too, for the youth who thirst for the Spirit and the Word.

2. DONATE -  Your monetary donations help keep Cleopas & Company on the road, taking our retreat ministry wherever the Spirit leads. We are an IRS 501(c)3 charitable organization and as such your donations are tax-deductable to the extent allowed by law.  Please see below for secure donations via credit/debit card.  (Debit cards are preferred -- they help save on processing fees.) You can choose to make a one-time donation or recurring donations on a monthly basis to either our General Operations Fund or our Building Fund:

General Operations Fund:  This fund helps supply our Teams, covers travel and lodging expenses (when necessary), maintains our website, helps stipend our facilitators and pays for all those Bibles, Catechisms, pens, pencils, posters, stickers, nametags, photocopies, candles, lighters, markers....

Building Fund: That's right!  Cleopas & Company now has a Building Fund!  We have discovered that there is a definite shortage of youth-centered retreat facilities in this general area.  This brings to light our next God-inspired goal: provide a retreat facility which could eventually be operated in the same way as the facilitator ministry.  A quality retreat center would be available to all groups, with the worry of “How can we afford this?” and “Our group is too small, they will not let us use the facility” taken away.  Charitable funding to purchase land and build such a facility is really on our hearts.  With enough funding and honorariums the facility would be self-supporting and available to all.  We believe that this God-given goal can soon be a reality.  God could touch another 5,000 to 7,000 lives a year at this Center!!

3. OTHER GIFTS - As this site matures we will list here other ways you can help. If there are other ways you would like to help, please let us know.

May God bless you -- and thank you for your support!
