Restoration Farm

Our plans here at Restoration Farm are moving along slower than planned mostly because Kat broke her arm the day we moved into the house. We have been able to plant 50 Elderberry and 12 Lavender plants. I am hoping that we can begin putting up the Hoop Houses in July so that we can have things ready for fall.

We had some walls built in the barn and now need to get the exterior doors set.

One of our biggest prayers is that God will make the farm a safe place for people to visit especially those servants of Jesus who have either been hurt by life experiences or who have goofed up majorly in their ministry. 

2 Corinthians 5:18

American Standard Version (ASV)

¹⁸ But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;

Galatians 6 The Message (MSG)

Nothing but the Cross

 ^1-3 Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived. 

Restoring a person involves reconciling with and forgiveness from our Creator, our Savior and our King.

Often when a minster falls he is rejected by his friends and expelled from the fellowship. Sin is serious stuff and there are consequences to be faced. But from my own experience I know that sin is often the medication for wounds the person has. I know because when I was caught up in pornography no amount of shaming got me to change. What helped me was gentle people helping me discover the root cause. Once that root was dug up ad exposed the sinful action was able to be dealt with.

I also needed to hear who I belonged to and that nothing could take me away from Him.

Several years ago I had a serious lung problem and spent 12 days in the hospital. The day I was released I thanked the head doctor and he cut me short. He told me not to thank him because all he did was provide the environment where my body could heal itself.

Our goal here at Restoration Farm is to be an instrument that God uses to create the safe environment for the Holy Spirit to do His work by healing broken people.
