Qualifications for this event are having served as a minister's wife for 5+ years
and being in our region (roughly defined as the Midwest, Rockies, and Great Plains
States). Among applicants meeting these requirements, participants will be accepted
on a first-come, first-served basis. Although 10 women will receive this opportunity
during our first offering, other qualifying women will be put on a waitlist for this
event and will receive advance notification of the next Ministers' Wives Retreat.
