The Steward Investor Retreat
September 22-25, 2025
Young Life’s Lake Champion
247 Mohican Lake Road, Glen Spey, NY
A retreat offers a quiet, focused environment ideal for personal reflection and heart change. Unlike conferences, which often involves large crowds, packed schedules, and lots of external input, a retreat provides space for solitude, deep thinking, and meaningful introspection. We hope to allow individuals and couples an opportunity to disconnect from distractions, engage in purposeful activities, and process emotions or thoughts at their own pace, fostering genuine transformation of the heart and mind so that the Holy Spirit can work to change our behaviors. In keeping with our purpose, this retreat is offered at no cost for lodging and meals (this is our gift to you). If you desire, you can help offset our costs by making a tax-deductible donation to Oikonomos LLC, a non-profit corporation whose purpose is to stimulate transformation in how the body of Christ manages the financial resources, investments, and wealth that God entrusts to them.
At this retreat, explore how to optimize positive, enduring outcomes for individuals, communities, countries, and the planet, while advancing the Kingdom of God. Through teaching, networking, worship, and personal time with God, we hope you will be challenged to explore and enact holistic views on investing that align with desired Great Commission and Great Commission outcomes.
