United Christian Ashrams International^[1] is a network of inter-denominational Christian retreat events. Ashram means retreat from hard work. For a time, people can leave their busy lives behind to find a new rhythm of life focused on Jesus. The mission is to inspire the transformation of all persons to be followers of Jesus Christ, and thereby discover, renew, and deepen relationships with God, ourselves, and others.

UCA is managed by a Board of Directors with an administrative office located in Rushton, Louisiana, USA.

History

Dr. E. Stanley Jones, missionary, evangelist and author, established the Christian Ashram movement while in India in 1930. He took the ancient ashram format and gave it Christian content, grounding the program in Jesus Christ.^[2] Along with Indian preacher Yunas Sinha and British missionary Ethel Turner, he established the first Christian Ashram at Sat Tal Estate near Nainital, India.

The movement came to North America in 1940 with Christian Ashrams now held annually in India, many locations in North America and some other countries around the world.
