****UPDATE**** - all attendees will need to secure lodging close to the venue

We are trying to find accomodations for us to camp indoors together

Meals will be provided for all attendees
Mexican, BBQ, breakfast and sandwiches will be the norm

Several companies have provided their products for a discount to our group
These products are available as add-ons
IF you are interested in buying these items, we ask that you order these products here along with this ticket to ensure order pickup at the venue
You are not required to purchase ANY of these add-ons, but we wanted to offer them as value add
Two of the products without retail pricing may be cheaper if ordered in bulk from the manufacturers website
These are products many of us use and rely on for their quality, durability and ease-of-use


FYI TO ALL POTENTIAL ATTENDEES:
THIS EVENT is meant for almost every believer - but it's geared towards men who want to take their faith and walk deeper with Christ

THIS EVENT will be filmed in its entirety, and release forms must be signed unless you're active duty LE/MIL, in which case we'll do our best to make arrangements

THIS EVENT may very likely push you physically, emotionally, mentally and more so - spiritually, to the point that you'll see the embodiment of Matthew 11:12 by Pastors, elders, speakers and other attendees who have experienced this type of prayer warfare before.

October 23-26, 2024 at YMCA Camp High Harbour at Lake Allatoona
40 Old Sandtown Rd SE. Cartersville, GA 30121

Check-in time is on Wednesday from 5:00 - 6:00 PM in Cartersville, GA (YMCA Camp). The event will end Saturday, early evening.
Cost of the Warriors Battle event is $50.00. The deposit is your payment and it is non-refundable, but it is transferable due to an emergency. The remaining $400 (actual cost) is covered by a supporter of Warriors Set Free. However, if you are able to cover or help to scholarship someone, you'll have that opportunity. Most of your event has been paid forward by a generous donor, if you'd like to to do the same, you'll have that opportunity below.
Please note: Scholarships are available if needed for the $50. If this is needed, please contact Robert at robert@warriorssetfree.org. We will not let money be a roadblock to you attending this event.
