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 Collegian Outing

Today was the St. Elmo Presbyterian Church Collegian Outing at Leahaven.  Some of the students keep Herb company while he grills sausages in the rain for 25 people.
Somebody's got a lot of energy after that big meal!  I hope the sausages settled first!
The rain let up in time for the hay ride.  The girls opted for the comfy, straw-bale ride . . .
. . . while a bunch of the guys piled onto the loader.
Kayaking . . .
. . . sometimes with "barnacles" hanging on!
Canoeing . . .
. . . can be dangerous if you've previously tipped over someone's kayak!  Hmm, I thought vengeance was the Lord's!
A lost "sole" is found!  Somebody pulled this up from the mud near the dock, and Phyllis exclaimed, "That's my shoe!"  Sure enough, it was a wading shoe she had lost two years ago, and the fish apparently liked it.  Not much was left but the sole!
