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.

Wild About Blackberries

The wild blackberries are ripe!  We probably have enough blackberry bushes at Leahaven to supply a small country!
Herb is there today and has already picked a bunch of berries.  Every year at this time he goes on a mission to pick as many of the berries as he can before they dry up.  I'm sorry to say, it's a losing battle!  But we enjoy the spoils of war regularly until the following season.
Here are Jean-Marc and Jenny--armed with walking sticks to fend off any berry-loving snakes--showing off their spoils two summers ago.  Anyone who stays at Leahaven for the next few weeks has a berry bonanza awaiting them!
