I am Shaunda Jenkins, the founder of Agapi Retreats. I see the world a little differently than most. I don't see people through their mistakes or flaws. The flaws we see are either contributed to environmental causes or personal experiences. They often don't reflect the person we believe we are or the person we want to become. Inside, we all keep secretes. We don't often believe ourselves to be as attractive or courageous as the world sees us. Most of us only see ourselves as a collection of flaws that we work effortlessly to hide for fear that someone will see our darkest secrets. So when God told us to Love our neighbors as our selves, I wonder if he knew that we didn't know how to Love ourselves properly; and in others, we often only see a personification of the things we hate most about ourselves. Learning to reconstruct this common view is the key to unlocking everything you desire in Life. To correct the exterior problems, we first have to be brave enough to address the internal issues. We have to teach people how to Love themselves the way God Loves them.
Agapi Retreats is a retreat that redirects the message of Love from the idea of an emotional connection back to its original design. Love is the Life blood of humanity. It is a Kingdom concept, and when it is understood properly, it can change more than just the course of interpersonal relationships, but the way we conduct ourselves as human beings; the goals we set in life and the motivation we have to accomplish them, the communities that surround us, the image we see of ourselves, even the things we place value in. Most marriages don't end because of the events that occur; its because of festering insecurities that eat away at our ability to believe that we deserve to be loved.
Dr. Domeka Kelley is your devoted leader for the Honeymoon retreat. He will utilize the wisdom of his experience to guide you in building an enduring and successful love. He has built a legacy on one supreme message above all others, and that is that he LOVES HIS WIFE and best friend of 26 years, Jessica. Together they have four exceptional children he adores but not as much as he adores his wife. Friends of Domeka say it took some time before they figured out Jessica’s name because he only affectionately refers to her as "Wife". Domeka will tell you that his Wife was the vessel God used to lead him back to Him; for that, he is eternally grateful. He pours his entire being into God’s institution of marriage, understanding that the level of commitment to his wife reflects his devotion to the Lord. Domeka will be the first to admit that as passionate as he is about marriage and family, it is not easy. It will not work unless you corporately work at it. Marriage and Family is his priority, only taking a back seat to Jesus Christ.
Domeka is one of this generation’s most enthusiastic and inspirational teachers of God’s word and his divine plan to prosper his children. A major part of that journey is ensuring that couples are adequately prepared to take on life’s journey together. He’s counseled countless couples and officiated hundreds of weddings. One of the greater joys for him is being a part of restoring the hurts, disappointments, and brokenness that every marriage inevitably faces. With years of experience and trial and error in his marriage, Domeka is equipped and capable of empowering couples with the essential coping tools to mitigate the challenges that come only to disturb the peace and plan God has for this sacred union. Domeka feels that what qualifies him to be effective in this arena, and worth taking a few moments of your valued time to listen to his insight; isn’t predicated on his academic background or any other accomplishment, but the fact that he loves his wife with action and not just words.
