REGISTER YOUR INTEREST FOR 2023: 4th - 10th March 2023 

Encounter the Father's Love

This is a five day residential event for you to have an opportunity to encounter and experience the Father's Love.

We are delighted to return to Cloverley Hall in Shropshire. It's a beautiful, peaceful environment with a relaxed atmosphere, good food and pleasant accommodation. We believe this is a safe place where you can open your heart to receive the love of the Father. 

During this Encounter there will be teaching on: Opening our heart to love, How the Father is revealed in Scripture, Redeeming the Orphan Heart, Allowing God to be a Father to us, Sonship, Forgiving from your heart, Comfort, Having a Childlike Heart and many other topics. During the course of the sessions there will be time to receive ministry, all of which is done by an experienced and sensitive team. Over the meal times there is ample opportunity to get to know one another and to talk more informally. The grounds of Cloverley are extensive and there's time to wander around and reflect on what is going on in your heart.

As we open our hearts, the Father pours His love into them through the Holy Spirit. In a heart transformed by love, true and lasting change can occur. It really is possible for us to live in sonship and 'walk as Jesus walked'.

If you have any queries about this Encounter please contact us rather than Cloverley Hall. All sessions will be taught in English. 

The Team

This Encounter is being led by Mark Gyde. Mark has been leading Father Heart encounters and conferences for over ten years and has seen many people discover the truth and reality of God being a Father to them. He has written four books on the Father's Love all of which are available on Amazon or through his website A Father to YOU. He and Barry Adams have run a weekly webcast for the last eleven years which is broadcast live on Wednesday evenings. 

Mark writes:
"My story of relating to God as Father began in 1982 at a youth camp in the Lake District. One of the leaders came over and made a simple prophetic statement: "Mark - you have learned to be a servant but God wants you to be a son". I knew that, not only did God want to be a Father to me but HE ACTUALLY WAS! I've found a greater level of intimacy with God which, I believe, has completely changed my understanding and experience of Him. Many of us have a good understanding of God as 'a' Father but that becoming an experience and a lifestyle is something completely different. Since then I have been on a journey of the heart, allowing my heart to come alive. I really believe God wants to be a Father to each one of us!"

The Venue - Cloverley Hall, Whitchurch, Shropshire

Tucked away in the corner of North Shropshire, Cloverley Hall Christian conference centre offers peace and quiet, yet remains easily accessible by road and rail. 

The grounds provide a safe haven for all, with the opportunity to enjoy the sports facilities or simply relax in the Shropshire countryside. Located 50-60 miles from Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, and just 30 minutes from Shrewsbury, Cloverley Hall Christian Conference Centre is an excellent location for our 'A' School.

The bedrooms are a combination of single, double or larger rooms and many have en-suite facilities with several having been recently modernised. We will allocate double rooms to married couples and then other participants may need to share a room; if there is anyone you would like to share with please let us know and we will do our best. We can not guarantee this until we have a full participant list and then we'll be able to allocate rooms accordingly. Some of the rooms have disabled access so please specify on the application form if you require these. If you are travelling from overseas then Cloverley Hall is relatively close to both Birmingham and Manchester airports. 

The main conference room is spacious with comfortable seating and a range of audio/visual facilities. Whilst it can seat up to 130 it will give us plenty of room to spread out.
