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.

Compliments of Connie

Here is a glimpse of the stock pond, which shall hereafter be known as the Beaver Pond, as seen through the eyes of a couple who truly love Leahaven, Raulices and Connie Fernandez.  Connie helped us find Leahaven almost three years ago, devoting countless hours (and, not to be indelicate, gallons of sweat!) tramping over hot fields in August heat.  She really grasped our vision for what we were hoping to do, and when she and I first saw Leahaven that hot August 2007, we both knew that our search was over.  How appropriate that Connie and Raulices took what I consider the most beautiful picture ever taken of this particular spot!  Thank you both for sharing your list of wildlife sightings (which inspired the Flora and Fauna page) and especially for sharing this gorgeous photo!
