Restoration Center
One of the Missions of Restoration Farm will be to be an instrument God uses to provide a place for Christian servants to retreat from the battles of ministry. We will have two small units available for pastors, missionaries and other servants to stay in for a few days free of charge.
But to begin with we will probably have small RV Trailers like the one pictured below for our guest to stay in.
No matter which we have the units will be clean and very comfortable.Each morning we will bring fresh eggs, goats milk cheese and some vegetables to the front door and leave them hopefully without disturbing the guest.
Our guest will be welcome to work or spend time in one of the gardens, one of the hoop houses, help feed and milk the goats or they can walk the grounds and among the trees.
Although the cabins will have electricity and running water they will not have radios, televisions or computers.
These units will be placed far enough away from the hoop houses, barn and our living spaces to give our guest whatever privacy they choose. They may have to deal with a stray chicken now and then but for the most part they will be fairly secluded. These units will probably not have a drive leading up to them so will require either walking to the unit or having us drive the guest up in a golf cart type vehicle.
Our goal is to have these two get away units available in the spring of 2012.
Hope you will come back and read updates as we each build our own piece to the mission of the Restoration Farm.
Sounds wonderful no matter where God leads you.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait. I still know a good architect and a good decorator (me). ha ha
Aw.....I can almost smell that sweet country air.
And my daughter Clare is a whiz at working farmland as she go to help friends in New Mexico on their homestead every summer. She rides horses, cleans up after them, she's even rounded up cattle. They have chickens, goats, rabbits, sometimes a turkey or two and whatever deer may wander onto their front porch. A beautiful garden which they eat from and what ever her friend Jana may hunt and clean....they eat that too. My suburban daughter has a country heart I think!
Kate, Maybe I need to contact that good looking, talented architect about helping me design a small cabin and a barn/retreat center.
