Fresh Image Women’s Retreat began as an extension of the Full Gospel Men’s Association in 1979. Fresh Image moved from Pine Hills to Beulah Beach in 1986. This retreat has seen women of different ages, backgrounds and churches join together to spend time to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
This retreat has been led by a dedicated group of volunteers for all these years. The 2022 committee was faced with multiple health challenges and personal losses. In 2022, it was announced the current group of ladies would be stepping down. God laid it on the heart of a new group to step forward.
The mission of Edge of The Water Women’s Retreat is this: To help women, of all ages, grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, the living water, by providing them with opportunity to spend time with other Christian women in prayer, praise and learning in a retreat setting.

Bunny Robles
Bunny Robles and her husband Scott founded Victory Church in Fremont 41 years ago in their hometown. Her heart has always been to love God and love people. She learned that the greatest way to love God is to love what He loves and that’s people. And the greatest way to love people is to pray for them.
So for over 4 decades in pastoral ministry, she has followed the example that Jesus has shown us, by valuing her time alone with the Father, as well as teaching the Body of Christ at Victory Church the importance of prayer and how vital it is to their relationship with Him.
Bunny’s insight will be a source of valuable information to assist you in your journey of faith and prayer.
