Meet at your church or at a quiet, wooded park. Spend the first hour praying and worshipping as a group. Then have everyone go to a quiet place to be alone with God. Each person may bring a Bible, a devotional, a notebook, and a pen. Spend three hours in prayer, reading Scripture, and quietly waiting for God to speak. Write anything that you believe God is saying to you in the notebook. Share a meal together and talk about what you believe God has said to you.
