Testimonials
“He exposed idolatry and put Christ back on the throne of my heart. After that moment, all other pains, hurts, disappointments, and sin disappeared. Everything had become clear. I am a child of the Lion of Judah, the Great High King! He loves me and has fought for me. I felt at home for the first time under the outspread branches of His tree.”
“After passing through the gate at Watchtower Ranch, this feeling of peace came over me; and passing through the door, I was overwhelmed. If I can say one thing about my Z experience, it would be: Life changing.”
“Years of struggles, pain, and shame came to an end on my Z weekend!“
“To say God used Z to help me “turn a corner” would be an understatement! Chains were broken and healing began during my weekend at The Ranch! This Spirit-filled ministry helped me understand the grace and love God has for me!”
“The unstoppable love of God broke down my walls and healed what was broken in spite of me.”
“Z gave me uninterrupted time with Dad to sit at his feet, hear his voice and receive what he had for me. It was a protected time and place; every time I went out, I knew I was being lifted up in prayer by brothers who cared for me.”
FAQ
WHAT IS Z EXPERIENCE?
Z Experience is an intense 48-hour weekend of seeking and encountering God with fellow brothers.
WHAT DO YOU DO ON Z EXPERIENCE?
There is a general framework for every Z Experience; however, the details often differ as each weekend is tailored towards the needs of those attending and according to the leading of the Holy Spirit. The general framework includes: Community with fellow brothers, time alone with God, prayer, communion, fasting, study of the Word, worship in song, and teaching.
IS Z EXPERIENCE A RETREAT?
Z Experience is not a retreat as normally defined (recreational activity, rest, and relaxation).

You should expect to focus all your time on encountering the Living God and you should expect Him to show up in powerful ways as you do so.
