Compelled to Care is a multi-faceted ministry that was birthed by people who wanted a safe place to be with other people who know what it means to care for kids from hard places. We are less of a support group and more of a community full of imperfect people moving forward as we live out the gospel and care for the vulnerable.

We have planned an awesome weekend away for you because our team is a group of super planners, but don't feel like you have to do everything. We just want to pack the weekend with fun, opportunities to connect with other moms and provide space for moments with God. You can choose to do everything or you can pick a few activities and hang out in the lodge and read or just sleep. This is YOUR retreat. You have permission to do what you want for 3 days!
