We are seeking volunteers for retreats (especially needing counselors, worship leaders, massage therapists, guest speakers), for helping us spread the word about the ministry on social media, and for gathering and packing gift bags for retreat attendees.
In February of 2025, Restoration Nation Retreat put on a special one day retreat in Sarasota, Florida - focused on the Father Heart of God. What a wonderful, healing time it was.
Below is a video featuring our founder, Autumn Kerr talking to our guest speakers Bob and Kelly Parr about the Father Heart topic. Click below to watch this brief video. And stay tuned for more events and a possible retreat on this same topic.
“How Deep The Father’s Love for Us: Encounter the Father Heart of God” is an immersive, all-day experience where we will dive deep into the heart of God as our Father. This gathering creates space for personal encounters with His unconditional love, healing, and grace. Through Bob and Kelly Parr’s storytelling, biblical teaching, and ministry, we’ll explore the depth of the Father’s love and how it transforms our identity, relationships, and faith journey. Come ready to experience His presence in a fresh and life-changing way.
Bob and Kelly Parr are international speakers and founders of Freedom Quest International, a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry. With over 30 years of experience living and traveling in Southeast Asia and teaching in more than 18 countries, they express the Father’s heart uniquely, drawing from their personal life experiences, marriage, and family. They reside in Sarasota, Florida, and are the parents of five grown children, nine grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren.
How Deep The Father's Love For Us: Encounter the Father Heart of God will be hosted at the beautiful and peaceful Carlisle Inn in Sarasota, Florida. Your ticket will include meals from Der Dutchman.

For those who want to go deeper with this teaching, there will be a retreat later in the year - we are still working on the details and location will be determined based on how many people express interest in attending a weekend retreat focused on The Father Heart of God.
" This retreat was one of the highlights of my year. Because of COVID, I was struggling with a lot of grief and depression. I didn't have many opportunities to see friends, our whole family was together all the time, and it was hard to deal with so much uncertainty for so long. I felt invisible and disconnected.."
