Leahaven: April 2013

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.

We've Moved!

Several weeks ago we were offered a priceless gift. A young woman who has never even visited Leahaven was touched by our ministry and offered to give us a website!

For those of you who don't know what that means, it means purchasing a domain name for us, providing an ongoing server, coming up with three website looks for us to choose from, spending many hours building the website, putting in many more hours transferring the information from this old website to the new one, working out the bugs, and teaching me to use the new website.

There's been some intensive construction going on behind the scenes! The photo above doesn't really illustrate it very well because it's been far more than fixing up something that was already there. Instead, it's been a process of creating something new, beginning with a vision . . .

... and turning it into reality--or at least, virtual reality!

The construction process is done now, and you're invited to tour our brand new website! From now on, you can find us at http://leahavenfarm.com. We have a new email, too: leahavenfarm@gmail.com I'll keep this blog/website up for the foreseeable future until we're sure all of our old friends know where to find us, but the newest and most up-to-date information is on the new website.

Come check us out!
