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.

The Colors of Spring

We spent a day and a half at Leahaven, just resting and enjoying the beauty of God's creation as new life appears all around us.

The neighboring farm glows in the afternoon light.

A bee visits the grape hyacinths in the front yard.
Forsythia blooms next to the pump house.
The Bradford pear glows white against a deep blue sky.

Tiny field pansies pop up their cheerful faces everywhere.
Hero bounds across the grass, so green it almost hurts your eyes.

Budding maples burn bright red around the pond.

Their tiny helicopter seeds sprout like fireworks.

Bluets nestle among the grass.  No  earthly palette can rival that of the Heavenly Artist!
