Mission Statement
Future Vision of Sixty-One Acres
This will be a place of rest with Our God. It will be in the simplicity that people will encounter Him. It will be void of the hustle and bustle of our busy lives but will be full of life in Him and Him alone. The smell of home cooked meals will waft through the air and an overall sense of His peace will be felt as you pass through the gates to Sixty-One Acres.
Pray with us as we patiently wait on God to fulfill the work He has begun!

Sabbatical Thoughts
Exhausted, emotional, and overwhelmed. That is how I felt this past spring. It was a full season with many activities, responsibilities, and events. (A common season in my family!) Thankfully, all of the “things” were positive and good! But even in the midst of so much good, it can feel burdensome when it affects your […]
Test It – Six Questions to Help You Know if God Really Said That
