The Lord is our provider, we will not incur any debt to build! Both buildings are urgently needed. Both projects can be built simultaneously.
We plan to build a Care-Taker's Cabin to accommodate staff who will take over some of the administrative, housekeeping, and light maintenance duties. This will allow the host couple, currently Ruedi and Sandy, to focus once again on their main calling, being pastors to pastors, spending interactive time with the guests.
Cost estimates subject to adjustments: Cabin $240,000, staff $40,000/year.

This third cabin will allow more guests to come for a time of relaxation, reflection, rebuilding, and renewal. In 2021 we practically reached full occupancy in the two cabins we currently have.
Additionally, an unknown number of potential guests could not be accommodated because they did not find any available dates in our calendars. With the intensifying pressures these frontline servants face every day, this third cabin will allow 50% more guests to be served!
Construction cost is projected to be $180,000.
