$525,000 - 3 New Cabins

We are dreaming into building three new cabins so that future guests can have in-house bathrooms and live in these beautiful loft-style cabins.

$15,000 - creative Education Supplies

We have a passion for the arts and have seen the deeply transformative ways that God can meet the human heart through the creative process. These funds will go toward much needed equipment for our creative studios.

Long-term vision for expanding our campus:

In 1986, my parents stepped out in radical faith to purchase these 52 acres of land that they named “A Place for the Heart.” There was nothing on the land then except an old cornfield and many acres of forest. In those first 14 years, we watched God provide in incredible ways as we cleared the land and built our first few buildings with big dreams to create a place for people to encounter God’s love. In 2000, Melissa and I joined my parents full time and we finished building our first cabin which enabled us to host our first summer camp. In the last 25 years, the camps have grown into discipleship schools and retreats and our staff has expanded from four full-time staff to over 30 people. We’ve had the privilege of hosting thousands of campers, students, and guests from all over the world and have watched Jesus change their lives on this land. In just the last decade, our campus has grown significantly, with the notable additions of the Art Barn, Storehouse, and the three spacious cabins by our lake. We’ve built as the Lord has provided, and none of this would have been possible without the generous partnership and support of many of you. Next year will be our 40th year as a ministry and we still have so many dreams for this land. We have included a map to help you see all the Lord has built on our campus and to give you vision for the many other things we are believing for in the future.
