Where can I book my tickets for REFUEL26?

Tickets are available soon!!

What is happening at REFUEL26?

Refuel23 saw the Ministries take on the teaching, family fun, equipping, inspiring, and training of the delegates. This way, EVERYONE gets to lead this event. After all the years of running this gathering in a way similar to many others, God very clearly led us “take our hands off it” and let the leaders of organisations and ministries, form the program and content. This really worked well!

The next challenge was to share what was happening and where. Since Refuel 24 we have had an online schedule. There is just too much to put on one printout! Which is so exciting!

We are working on improving  feature over the years!

The Refuel 26 schedule will be released closer to the event!

Why isn’t Refuel26 FREE as usual?

When the Lord guided to offer this festival for free in 2023, we obeyed with some trepidation but miraculously, enough folks believe in this principle and donated to make this happen for families across the nation. 
 
Remember – whilst free for people to attend, it is only made possible by those who help us financially to do so. 
 
As we prayed for 2026, we felt the Lord guide us to- 
1) Do a one-off year in a different location in the Hills and closer to the South
2) Try to get new dates that meets the needs of English School Holidays and avoids Magnitude dates.
3) Try to use this one-off year to raise funds for 2027.
 
The immediate result of our obedience is that Gordon Castle have decided to honour the new dates in 2027 and we can promise that this will be a return to the FREE format again.
 
Already, we have received very significant funding towards our first full time staff member, already we have received very significant prophetic and scriptural insights as to why Aviemore is important in this season. God is pouring His favour on our obedience in this move and we pray our Refuel family might get behind this in 2026. Note- there will always be “paid forward tickets” available and we will always make sure everyone can be with us as a family regardless of affordability. Just call us and we will make it happen!
