WE BRIDGE REST FOR MISSIONAL LEADERS
How to Use This Resource
People Bride encourages and equips people to fulfill their God-given dreams. A group of people we hope to encourage and equip is mission leaders. We have worked hard to assemble places where pastors, missionaries, and missional leaders can be refreshed for free or at a significant discount So that they and their family can thrive.
On this page we offer three ways to do this:
1. We have assembled, by region around the USA, places and opportunities for you.
2. There is a $299 a week option that requires a breif application. Great option!
3. You can connect with me personally for a getaway in central Florida through People Bridge Properties at a discounted rate. It coud be personal, as a team retreat, or for your family.
You may need to fill out an application, connect with the retreat center or homeowner, or you may be able to just book it. We are the bridge. I have not reached out to each of these places but have done research to find them and add more as we hear about them.
One example recently is a friend shared this page with his friend who desperately needed a getaway with his wife. Yet, first, they are not gifted at planning and finding where to go. Second, they are on a budget and can’t imagine how to make that happen. I pointed him find Beside Stillwater, a two-bedroom condo a block off the beach in Anna Maria Island, FL for a 90%+ discount as the owners see and know they are a part of the ripple effect of healthy and thriving missional leaders.
My wife and I have found that it is the times away to life-giving locations that have kept us going. Taking the time to get away consistently allowed us to stay connected and move forward faithfully for the long haul.
If you share our belief in the importance of rejuvenation and are ready to invest in your well-being, then this opportunity is tailor-made for you. Please reach out if you have questions or need assistance. Brian Clark 317.507.4056 or email brian@people-bridge.com

This is purely a bridge to a nonprofit that has a passion for serving pastors and missionaries. Through their partnership with Endless Vacation Rentals and Wyndham Worldwide, QuietWaters Ministries offers a Christian Leader Vacation Program. Pastors, missionaries and para-church ministry leaders have the opportunity to experience an affordable vacation getaway. There are hundreds of locations worldwide to choose from. The Resort Vacation Certificate provides one week of accommodations for just $299 for the entire week! Certificates can be purchased by pastors or para-church ministry leaders and used for personal travel or may be purchased as a gift to a Christian leader. Certificates may also be purchased and used by missionaries (however, you must use a US or Canadian based credit card). Click HERE for more details or their GIF.
