The above pictures are the current state of the property. As the land takes shape we will update the slideshow. We have had much improvement over the last few months and should ready to get the zoning complete. As we move forward we will video the site so that you can see proposed sites including the area set aside for the tiny houses for homeless and transitioning Vets.

​We are in need of materials as we clear and build the Refuge and Retreat Center. So far we have received wood and pallets for small projects and storage structures but we need assistance with the picnic and parking areas and fire pit. All materials given are a blessing. We are also using the materials already present on the land to build what we can. Here is a list of our current material needs:

1. Hay bundles for mud/adobe bricks
2. Crush and Run for parking
3. Concrete for floor of Picnic Area 1 and Wood Shed (need 200 80 lb bags)
4. 100 ft. of .06 plastic for the bottom layer of Phase One Walk and Garden
5. 10 5 ft. by 16 ft. cattle fencing for the vine gardens to provide shade for a portion of the path
6. Wood and Brick for building the Picnic area (30ft x 60ft)
7. Landscaping stones for a 10ft wide circular fire pit. 
8. Paving Sand for stability (50 bags)
9. Stone for the fire pit floor

What is a refuge? A place of comfort, a hiding place, the place to seek the Loving kindness of God? Yes a refuge is all these things and more. It is a place to find oneself in the safety of others seeking the same. A place to find protection from the reach of the Adversary. That is what we are.
