The Light of the World Retreat
The program that has changed a million lives!
The School of Discipleship is preceded by an 8-hour long retreat sometimes billed as the Light of the World Retreat, which has been conducted in over a thousand parishes and prayer groups in several countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, England, Australia and various parts of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Not only has it served to transform the lives of those who have attended, it has inspired them to want to learn more about their faith and share it with others as evidenced by the huge number of people who commit themselves to life-long discipleship after the retreat is over.
The retreat is led by Holy Spirit Interactive (HSI) founder Aneel Aranha.

Topics
The Light of the World Retreat begins with the question Jesus asked: "Who do you say I am?" and leads participants through a journey that covers four subjects that are fundamental to the faith—repentance, forgiveness, surrender and love—before culminating in an invitation to become or grow as a disciple of Christ. Nearly every participant present accepts this invitation by registering for the School of Discipleship.

Modus Operandi
The duration of the retreat is about 8 hours and is conducted over one full day or three evenings. When held over three evenings, each session begins with 30 minutes of worship, a talk, a period of ministry, and concludes with Holy Mass (if possible). We recommend that priests be available to hear confessions through the retreat as this is an occasion when everybody would like to make one.
