ABOUT US
To introduce, reintroduce, and refresh women in personal relationships with the Holy GOD of the Universe.... and to equip and empower them to do His good works in the earth and draw others to Him by professing the gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and living lives according to His Word; thereby, radically transforming our communities as women operate in all aspects of their gifts (mentally, physically, and spiritually), uplifting, re-building, and enriching the lives of those in their paths and fostering holistic relationships at home, in their workplaces, and in the public square.
THE FOUNDER
Nicole D. Jenkins is the founder, servant, and board chair of Mind, Body, and Spirit. She started the ministry during the pandemic, in 2020, when she found herself fully isolated from and detached from the outside world while facing concerns of the constant threat of the deadly Coronavirus which had taken so much from us--- our health, financial stability, peace, and even lives from an already spiritually dying world.
She longed for fellowship with other people, especially other women who were experiencing the same struggles, yet were unable to gather and to support one-another in person. She asked GOD what it all meant and struggled to cope with finding the peace and spiritual support that she was in dire need of. She remembered the breakthrough experiences and the refreshing she had always felt when attending women’s spiritual retreats since the very first one she attended as a new believer nearly 23 years prior.
She remembered even hosting, leading, and speaking at retreats herself in the past, and how she always felt so much relief and inner strength after being with the other women. Thus, she trusted GOD and sought out a location to host such a gathering, even in the midst of a pandemic.
Nicole believed with every fiber of her being that GOD would not let her, nor other women suffer, contract the virus, or die, for seeking Him sincerely on a higher level for 3 days. She remembered how Esther stepped out on faith in holy scripture, trusting GOD with her very life, to intercede on behalf of the Jewish nation, and she knew that, just as with Esther, she was born to intercede for other women for such a time as then.
WHO WE ARE
Mind, Body, and Spirit Women’s Retreats (MBS) is a Women’s outreach and support ministry. The name, “Mind, Body, and Spirit” speaks to two separate, yet equally important missions. GOD endeavors to speak to and to utilize all of His creation in humanity through every aspect of our vessels---our minds, our physical bodies, and ultimately, our spirits. He, and He alone deserves full reign of and devotion from every part of us for the entirety of our earthly as well as our eternal lives. Thus, He wants us to dedicate all of ourselves to Him and His purpose for each of us.
Secondly, MBS endeavors to speak to, help to heal, and to uplift every aspect of the women we serve--- their minds, their physical bodies, and their spiritual walks with and relationships with the Almighty GOD. We strive for this worthy goal so that each woman we touch will be of better use to Him and better equipped to walk in her unique purpose that He has designed each for, in order to exact His divine will in the earth and to practice Kingdom building by drawing/winning souls to Him during her lifetime. We do this by encouraging women in areas of utilizing the gifts, skills, time, treasures, and talents/resources which He entrusts to them.
We seek to accomplish this by offering a safe place, a once-per-year weekend retreat. We host it at a remote, serene, beautiful location where, for 3 days, we host workshops, fun events and activities, ministering of GOD’s word, educational and spiritual exercises to help us all grow in our walks with the Lord.
