Invited
Join me on a soul-transformational journey with Jesus.
His Word says in Psalm 23 that He lets us rest in green meadows and leads us beside still waters where He restores our souls.
Together we will explore (and put into practice) what it means to rest and take delight in Him. The more we do this, and make room for Him in our everyday lives, the more we are transformed. In that place we experience the fullness of joy that only comes from spending time in His Word and being still in His presence. This joy is available to us at all times and not dependent on our circumstances.
His joy strengthens us from the inside out!
My hope is that our time together will awaken a deeper hunger and longing for God’s presence and power in our lives. We will spend our time together deeply anchored in the Word. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will give us a fresh awareness and sensitivity to His voice and heart for the days ahead.

About Me
My name is Leslie Raber. I am a lover of Jesus and people. I am the proud mom of 3 incredible young adults—Jonathan, Taelor and Raegan. I am Grammy to our precious Ruth Ann. I love to hike, cook, paint, bake, and gather people around a table or a cup of coffee. A few additional fun facts about me: I am a worshiper, author, and song writer. I have had the honor of serving as Chaplain in the Greater Portland Area to the anti-sex and human trafficking regional work. I have served for 19+ years in Womens Ministry Leadership, and as a licensed Foursquare pastor since 2013 in various roles in the local church. Additionally, I have served regionally and nationally through Women In Ministry Leadership Cohorts through worship and Soul Care Retreats. All of these “ministry appointments” have been significant in shaping who I am today. I would say, however, that my identity as a chosen daughter of the King and my desire for deeper connection with Him, is the truest thing about me. By partnering with the Holy Spirit and His indwelling work in my life, I’ve personally encountered Jesus and experienced redemption, miraculous healing, and restoration. He is continually teaching me how to live life unfettered before Him. I want everyone I know (and have yet to know) to experience transformation that comes from undeniable encounters with our First Love!
It would be my deepest honor to journey alongside you on an Unfettered Soul Adventure with Jesus!
I look forward to connecting with you soon!
Sincerely,
Leslie Raber
TESTIMONIALS
"Leslie facilitated a soul retreat for 11 women through HOPEmatch, a non-profit organization. The care and detail she put into our day-long retreat was so impactful to everyone who attended. She has the unique ability to navigate group discussions in a way that teaches, encourages, and invites people closer to Jesus. Through music, teaching, and transparency, her ministry is the complete package. Her example of loving Jesus and actively listening to Him inspires everyone she comes in contact with to experience Him at a deeper level. Book her retreats. You won't regret it."

“I am very glad and happy to take part and be part of the second season of retreats. This is a wonderful time for me, although I don’t speak English, I feel love for God and others here, it feels like we are one family. Through these retreats we can see how wonderful our God is, how great He is, how kind He is, what work He does in the lives of each of us. We can see the miracles that God does in the lives of each of us, observe His work, how He changes the lives of the women around us. Here we can look at our lives in the mirror of God's Word and put our lives in order. I know and understand that my task is to be on the same vine with God, to feed on His fruit and take DNA from Him, as Leslie says. I listen to sermons a lot on the Internet, but what I miss is this silence, peace and personal communication with God. These retreats help me correct this very problem, so I especially value this time. I had never practiced this kind of communication with God before”

What I experienced Saturday was pure serenity. From when I walked through the door and joined in the praise and worship I felt God’s presence there. It was a mixture of joy and peace simultaneously throughout the day. Listening to the ladies share about themselves led me to see that The Lord makes our personal relationships with Him unique and special. He tailor fits our experiences to nurture and grow us in the best ways and the areas that He ordains us to grow. His growth is transforming, enlightening and refining. He knows best and wants His best for us.
It is evident in our testimonies and our lives. It blessed me to see that He allows
us to confirm the things in each other’s lives.”

“Life changing, realigning, refreshing, joyful, beautiful, freeing, inspirationally unfettered!
I had the gift of attending the Soul Adventure with Leslie this past week…The ways that God showed up for all in attendance that day were so beautifully sweet. His Spirit was woven and welcomed throughout every part of the day. I felt a personal ‘fine tuning’ in many areas of my life as well as just feeling Gods truest love and care for all of His children. The way He speaks both to us individually and through others is truly supernatural and I am forever humbled and grateful! it was a true gift to be taken along on a journey that is so natural in Leslie’s personal relationship with God. To be given the opportunity to experience God in this personal way is something that I will truly treasure forever. Thank you Leslie for your obedience and love in sharing this beautiful gift with us all! I cannot recommend this Soul Adventure enough - every soul, no matter how new or seasoned with God, will walk away changed in the most beautiful of ways. So very grateful! Thank you again! "

“My experience at the soul retreat was a blessing from the moment we started with praise and worship to set the atmosphere. I left with a bond grafted together like the plant with like minded sisters all on the
same journey to get a deeper relationship with God through prayer and meditating on His Word.
I left feeling refreshed, encouraged and ready to be closer to Him.”

“Leslie’s passion for helping others to cultivate a deeper relationship with God is evident in everything she does. Her ability to create a nurturing environment where women can come together to support and uplift one another is truly a gift. She is also a talented musician and singer! I left the retreat feeling renewed, inspired, and with a deeper sense of purpose. I am immensely grateful to Leslie for the profound impact that retreat has had on my life. I would highly recommend her retreat to anyone seeking a clear, real relationship with God.
Thank you, Leslie, for sharing your light.”
