Helpful Hints

1.    Find friends and family who want to spend time resting in the Presence of God on a regular basis.

You may have friends or family that are already soaking but some may have no idea.  Share with them and tell them your experiences of resting in the Presence of God.  It needs to be real to them.  Also, if you don’t know anyone, then share with others that the Father draws you to talk to (even in the grocery line).

2.    Suggest getting together as a group, and then making it something you do weekly.

This builds relationship in the group.  When you know you have a good support system with friends and family that have a similar vision to spend time with God together, it helps even when you are away working or taking care of your own family.  Rather than sporadically getting together, suggest once a week or bi-weekly.   

3.    Contact Catch the Fire and let us know that you’ve started a soaking group.

We want to know if you’ve started a soaking group so we can help you and set you up with people in your greater area.  We also have Regional Coordinators that are there to help and encourage your group.

4.    Find music that most people in your group can rest to.  Each group will be different, so talk about it, find out what most of the group prefers.

Some groups may find quiet, instrumental music helpful, while other groups prefer strong worship music or something totally different.  The important thing is that it cultivates the presence of God among the group.

5.    Get stories from everyone on what God showed them while they were soaking.  

This builds up encouragement for everyone and is incredible to hear what God is doing in the lives of those you love around you!
