About Us

Welcome! We are so glad you’re here!

Thank you for taking a moment to read this. God gave me a burden for his people When I was around 17. I was raised around men and women of God and loved them. When I prayed for God’s direction, He laid it on my heart to build a refuge for them. I was raised in a preacher’s home. My dad was a pastor until I was 7 and we went on the road full time as the ministry of helps, building and fixing churches. We sold everything, leaving no home or possessions to fall back on. Five of us moved into a 24-foot Winnebago, with the W on the side. As we traveled and lived with people of God, I saw the battles, sacrifices, hurt and burdens they carried. God burdened my heart to offer a place of healing and refreshing. After working as assistant in three different churches, God has made land available to us for the ministry and a loving and supportive home church to work out of. So, we are building a place for God’s people to get the help they need. We are not doing anything new, just trying to preserve old time religion, keep God’s people in the ministry, and help birth new ministries.

Our Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible (the KJV) to be our guide for everything we do, not by the interpretation of man but of the Holy Spirit. We believe the Gospel is still the greatest message anyone could receive. We believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord by faith in His Word to get us to heaven, and nothing else (the same way the thief on the cross got saved: by believing Jesus is who He said He was.)

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. -Ephesians 2:8-9

But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

We also believe in the ministry of reconciliation and restoration according to the Bible. By faith we are called to encourage and lift up the weary and fallen, carrying out this law of Christ by promoting a holy and spirit-filled walk with Christ and providing a place of refuge for the people of God to get the help they need.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given unto us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then are we ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:1-2
