Target demographics: Pastors, Missionaries and Ministry Leaders

Direct beneficiaries per year: over 100 pastors, missionaries and ministry leaders providing over 400 guest/nights

Geographic areas served: all areas of the world but primarily in the USA

Programs: As non-denominational ministry, Shepherd's Refuge provides accommodation in secluded, scenic surroundings for pastors, ministry leaders and missionaries. The primary purpose is Sabbath Rest which allows the guests to gain distance to the daily issues, enables them to find fresh perspectives, and renew their spiritual and physical strength. As a consequence their congregation and ministry will benefit from what their leadership "brings back from the mountain experience". Currently we can accommodate up to 3 couples, or individuals, at the time. Construction of the first two of five cabins has been completed as of March 2017, and will continue as the funds are accumulated. Accommodations are provided free of charge to our guests thanks to the generosity of people who have the well-being of them on their hearts.
