I have been presenting that experience ever since. Like everything else, currently retreat centers and CIC weekends are in a holding pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Christmas, I heard God ask me to present an abbreviated version of the CIC experience through this weekly \u201cChallenge\u201d. It would mean reducing each of the eight presentations down to a couple minutes. It also meant that each reader would have to do the reflection question on their own instead of participating in a small group. Knowing my concerns, God said, \u201cRemember, Jack, I write them. You type them.\u201d :&gt;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first of the eight presentations started on January 3<sup>rd<\/sup> with \u201cWho\u2019s There\u201d. The final three presentations will follow over the next few weeks. Once you have all eight, you can use them for personal reflection, a small group fellowship or to draw someone new to the heart of Jesus.
