Our Vision

We want to create a safe place:

 

Where you can break out of the pressure of religion.

  • You are allowed to take a time out with God – a place of retreat to break out of the religious system. Pastors who need such a retreat are also very close to our hearts.
  • A place of refuge with Jesus, outside of religion.
  • A setting that allows you to come to rest and open yourself to the Holy Spirit.

Where you can rediscover your own heart.

(Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.)

  • A place of release into your true identity, worth and dignity in Jesus.
  • For people who long to live their life from their heart.
  • A place with a safe environment to discover who you really are, free from religious pressure, expectations, constraints and control.

Where you can enter into rest.

  • A place away from the hustle and bustle and city commotion.
  • A time without deadlines, pressure to perform and expectations.
  • A place of peace and freedom.

A place where you are strengthened in the reality of the finished work on the cross.

  • A place where all inhabitants reach out to the reality of the new covenant.
  • With people who want to understand more clearly what the new covenant is all about.
  • A place with a clear focus on the finished work on the cross and the new covenant.

It is our heart to create a place of peace and freedom.

Freedom from religion, control, manipulation, pressure, external expectations and theological debates.

A place where you can quiet your heart and listen to the voice of God, where you deepen intimacy with Jesus.

A place where you can take time out from what overwhelms you in your daily life, and where you can take time to rest and align yourself with God’s perspective for your life.

It is a place where you are allowed to take care of your own heart and take personal responsibility for your life.

Jeanne and Benny

WE ARE:

  • A place of refuge, especially for people who want to break out of religion, pressure and control, and are looking for a place where they can come to rest.

  • A place with space to discover one’s own heart and refresh, deepen or enter into a heart relationship with Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit.

  • A place of rest and recovery

  • A safe place to simply be.

  • A place where you are encouraged to go through and grow in your personal process, deepening your relationship with Jesus.

 

WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE:

 

  • Bungalows for rent, this for days or a few weeks – period on agreement.

  • A safe place to be,

  • While we do not have the capacity to have hours of conversation daily, we (Jeanne and Benny) have walked our own path of restoration/healing with God and are very happy to assist you in your process.

  • A Safe Environment.

  • We are intentional about creating a safe environment without control, manipulation or pressure where God is allowed to do what He wants to do in lives.

  • We are not pastors, counselors or therapists and do not exercise spiritual authority over anyone. We are aware that the only mediator between you and God is Jesus Christ, and we will do everything we can to keep it that way – or to make it a reality in your life.

  • A place where your heart, your conscience, and your personal relationship with Jesus takes first priority. We are here to encourage you in working on your heart so that you may always enter depper into the freedom of God and understand His heart for you and for your life.

  • While you are here, you will have the opportunity to work through the workbook “Love is a choice” – around the topic of codependency and what true love really means – with Jeanne. This is a topic that affects basically everyone and where we can all grow from it. 

  • There is also the possibility to work through books on the subject of the heart with Jeanne or to deepen the subject of the “New Covenant”/the finished work on the cross and what this means for us.

What we cannot offer /

What is not our goal and focus:

We are not:

  • a vacation paradise

  • a community of self-supply

  • a communal living on a Christian basis

  • a German-speaking residential community

  • a church or community, organization or association

  • a therapy place for people with depression or mentally ill people

  • a place of clericalism, hierarchy and position.

How we want to live / What is important to us / Non-negotiable points.

 

  • This lands and our lives are to point to Jesus – He is the way, the truth and the life – no one comes to God but through Him. (John 14.6)

     

     

  • If we have accepted Jesus Christ as our only Savior and Redeemer, we are righteous before God in Him. No sin can separate us from God anymore.

     

  • Jesus is the only mediator between us and God. (Tim. 2.5) We can only encourage people in their journey to experience God.

     

  • No human being can take spiritual dominion over another. Otherwise, he would put himself in the place of Jesus Christ. We are family.

     

  • There is no pastor, apostle, evangelist, prophet, teacher here to whom you must submit, as in an institutional organization.

     

  • We flee religion and give it no room on this property.

     

  • We set people free to take responsibility for their own lives, their own hearts. Religion expects correct behavior based on “right and wrong” – true freedom in Jesus means living from the inside out, in an ever growing identity – in an ever deeper heart intimacy with Jesus! In this we will always support you.

     

  • We are only a channel. God is the source. Our aspiration is to allow the heart of God to flow ever more purely and clearly through us. 

     

  • We are striving to live Kingdom culture. This culture should be felt here in a profound way and we want to learn to subordinate our own cultural thinking and acting (be it European or South American) to it. A Kingdom culture is free from control, manipulation and judgment of what someone does, but sets everyone free in honor and dignity to be who they are in Jesus.

     

  •  Jesus is the Son of God and through the finished work on the cross everything is accomplished, be it healing, restoration, provision, freedom, love, security, acceptance, identity (we are sons of God).

     

  • We are reconciled to Him and our message is one of peace and reconciliation, through accepting the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

     

  • God is unconditionally good. He never punishes you. He never shames you. He always believes in you. He does not lead you through the desert. He does not hide from you. Even in our greatest failures, He brings new life, meaning and future. He is never disappointed in you. He knows and loves your heart. He rejoices over you.

     

  • God has given us men authority over this earth. This brings with it a responsibility in how we handle our lives. The beginning of this is what we allow in our heart of belief, unbelief, thoughts and emotions, because our heart is the source of life.

     

  • The devil has no authority over our lives. We release our authority for his purposes when we combine our faith with his lies/when we accept his lies in our heart and give them space.

     

  • We are already healed, just as we are reconciled to God in Jesus. He has already done everything for us and it is up to us to take hold of that. Unbelief and false messages on our hearts can prevent us from taking hold of this healing. There is no accusation, condemnation or judgment in this. But God’s reality is, no matter how much we can or cannot take hold of it, we are healed.

     

  • We are blessed. There is nothing more I can do to be more blessed. The curtain has been torn. I can take this blessing from heaven at any time (see e.g. Eph. 1:3).
