God has set a path before you...
When God called us, we received a special appointing - our spirits were set on fire for Him, but our soul - our mind, emotions, will - must continually be reminded to submit to and obey His Word and the Holy Spirit.
We need to ‘come away into the quiet’ and surrender to God’s working in us. We may not know the steps we need to take to be effective, but God does and will reveal them to us.
Within our call and vocation we know that inner righteousness is a gift from God to be graciously received. The needed ongoing change within us is God’s work, not ours. The demand is for an inside job, and only God can work from the inside.
We cannot attain or earn this righteousness of the Kingdom of God; it is a grace that is given. God speaks to His chosen not because we have special abilities, but because we are willing to listen.
Every now and then we have caught glimpses, hints of something more than we have known. Inwardly we long to launch out into the deep… and yet we put it off, thinking ‘later … when I have time …’
Time rarely comes, at least in the form we are longing.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a sacred space for Christian Clergy of all denominations to find peace and restoration as they walk within their vocation with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a sacred space where our Christian Brothers and Sisters of the faith can come to be set apart from the world for a time, in order to rest, be restored and grow in their relationship and intimacy with God, seeking His face.
