A Time to Say Goodbye

Having served in the pastorate and as foreign missionaries, we know how draining full-time Christian service can be. In 1987, we returned from the mission field spiritually "beaten up". God provided a place of refuge where we could be restored in the beauty of His creation. In 2007, He granted us the fulfillment of our dream to provide a place that we could share with full-time Christian workers in need of a spiritual retreat. And that is how Leahaven came to be.


"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."

II Corinthians 1:3-4


In 2020 due to Covid 19, we regretfully suspended our Leahaven ministry. In the past two years the Lord has led us in a new direction, and He has shown us that now is the time to say goodbye. We are grateful for God's many blessings and so many precious memories. Thank you to all who have supported and encouraged Leahaven's ministry. We covet your prayers for the future.

Reflections on the Lake

These pictures were taken in September while we were relaxing at the lake after a long, hard work day getting Leahaven ready to welcome our church's collegian group. They make me think of these verses from Isaiah . . .

"This is what the Lord says:
'In the time of my favor I will answer you,

 and in the day of salvation I will help you;

I will keep you and make you to be a covenant for the people,

to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances,

to say to the captives, "Come out," and to those in darkness, "Be free!"

They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill.

 They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them.

He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water."

Isaiah 49:8-10
