Peace Retreats
A time and place to rest, reflect, and reconnect with God
at the House of Peace in New River, Arizona
Built in 2022 by Rick and Linda Crosby, the House of Peace was created to welcome others into an atmosphere of rest, care, and God’s presence. A Bible placed in the foundation and prayer over the property reflect their desire for peace to fill every room and the experience of every guest.
Originally a home of family caregiving and hospitality—hosting more than 150 visitors in three years—it now serves as a retreat space where guests can be refreshed and encouraged.
Set on a serene acre in New River, Arizona, the home borders pristine desert filled with saguaros and cholla cacti. Quiet nights, star-filled skies, and evenings by the fire pit create the perfect setting to slow down and reconnect with God.
A place to rest. A place to breathe. A place of peace.

Peace Retreat :
Entrust - Goal Setting for 2026
January 8-10, 2026
Total Cost $525 (Optional Extra Night +$75)
Do you want to experience success in all areas of your life? Start your year intentionally by entrusting your hopes and plans to God! The Word of God teaches you how! You were created by God to bring Him glory and experience success, and we can actuate success by trusting our plans to God. We have all felt the pain of failure, and it seems to sting more when our intentions are good, and we still face disappointment. These letdowns happen when we aren’t tuned in to God‘s big picture and timing, and we haven’t committed our goals and efforts to Him. The amazing thing is that you have a loving Father who listens, who is powerful to help, and who wants to partner with you and equip you for success. You have everything available to you for your success. With God, nothing is impossible!
At this retreat, we will take a look back at 2025 to help you set a course for the new year. We will walk through a workbook examining eight areas of your life where we will find prompts and topics to consider as you develop resolutions, goals, and plans for the new year. As you allow Holy Spirit to minister, guide, remind and speak to you, He is gracious to love you and lead you. If you are ready to enter 2026 with your goals clearly defined and an action plan in place, this retreat is for you!
This retreat includes group sessions, a 45-minute individual session with Ashli, a 30-minute focused massage, quality time around the fire pit, and so much more! Come and be pampered!
Guest Speaker: Ashli Van Horn
My passion is seeing people experience comprehensive change through simple Truth.
For the past 31 years, I’ve enjoyed ministering full-time in Scottsdale, Arizona, across the States, and overseas. I’m happy to be the wife of Pastor Rowdy Van Horn of Jesus People Church, mommy to three awesome kids, and a Pastor. My heart is to release healing, power and freedom through my calling as wife, mother, teacher, visionary, author, artist, adventurer, intercessor, and friend.
Like you, I have walked through physical, spiritual, mental and emotional pain in this life. My greatest joy is to expedite your journey and lift and empower you over some of the pitfalls I’ve faced. My only obsession is Scripture—so I love to lead, teach, and train on prayer, walking in the Spirit, growing in your spiritual gifts, exercising your voice, enjoying healthy relationships, intimacy with the Godhead, playing well your position in the Kingdom, and changing the world—for starters!

Guest Speaker: Christine Fooks
With over 20 years of experience in leadership, coaching, and walking alongside others through life’s many seasons, I bring a deep understanding of personal growth, resilience, and practical support.
I’ve always cared deeply about how to journey with others in a meaningful, professional, and compassionate way—and when I discovered coaching, I realized it was the perfect path to do just that.
My experiences include leading multiple ministries, coaching teens and parents, supporting communication and organizational skills, and serving 12 years as a foster parent. I've also coached individuals through the complexities of foster care, homeschooling, and building strong foundations in both life and ministry.
I began my formal coaching journey in 2019, training with the Professional Christian Coaching Institute and aligning with International Coaching Federation standards. Since then, I’ve continued to grow my expertise with additional certification in mental health and trauma-informed coaching, and I'm also certified in The Realife Process®—a practical framework for organizing life and work in a way that aligns with your values and strengths.
Whether you're navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply craving space to grow, coaching can help.
