TACTICAL WITHDRAWAL

Call Sign Victor is a Christian organization committed to serving our veterans, first responders, and their families. We offer five tactical withdrawals a year-two for male veterans and first responders, two for female veterans and first responders, and one for wives. We call our events tactical withdrawals for a couple of reasons … 1. This is a time where we come and put down our arms for a bit to withdraw from the battle waging in our lives. 2. We are equipping and modifying ourselves to be more effective upon returning to our lives, families, and communities. We withdraw to further equip and engage.

Each tac-withdrawal is currently held at the beautiful El Shaddai Ranch in Yorktown, TX. Our four-day retreats start on Thursday evening and end on Sunday afternoon. At each retreat, veterans and first responders stay onsite free of charge. Their lodging, meals, and snacks are provided for through the donations of generous financial supporters. Leaders and volunteers at Call Sign Victor serve each guest with honor, and attendees are integrated into CSV’s family through live music and worship, powerful speakers, and small group gatherings designed to serve those who serve. 

This event is not just a place for physical rest—it’s a time to work on regaining purpose in life, find a sense of comradery, and seek healing from wounds received in the line of service or elsewhere. Not only will you find like-minded people, but we will also dig into the hidden, uncomfortable places of ourselves where wounds and trauma often remain buried. Some participants are experiencing pain so deep they can’t identify its’ effects. This retreat is designed to bring those things to the surface so that Jesus can truly heal you.

Throughout the weekend, we will work hard—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—pressing into the Lord, identifying and confronting struggles that have created distance between you, your loves, and the Creator of the universe. While there will be times of peaceful rest in the evenings, the days will focus on spiritual battles and uncovering wounds, so that Jesus can bring healing, freedom, and wholeness into every part of your life.

No matter where you are in your journey with God, this retreat is for you. Whether you’re a first-timer or have been walking with Jesus for years, the weekend is an opportunity to encounter God profoundly and personally. Your presence and testimony may even spark healing in someone else’s life. We offer a safe environment in small group settings where you can be vulnerable and open your heart to God.

You’ll hear powerful testimonies of God’s faithfulness and how He has transformed lives by bringing beauty from ashes. There will be biblical teachings, group discussions, and practical applications to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus and give tools to move forward after you return home.
