The Vision

God gave us a vision. A vision of a simple life. A life free from television, movies, and secular music. But not just for the sake of living simply, but for the sake of living pure and holy before God.

A vision of a house - a simple house - filled with life and people that live as a community to encourage one another living holy before the Lord.
A Simple House with the focus of holiness and ministry.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. (James 1:27)

Pure and undefiled religion. The two greatest commandments: Love God and Love People. Showing compassion, justice, and mercy to others and keeping yourself holy before God.
Radical? yes. Extreme? yes. But God has told us to do this and we have learned that when God tells you to do something, Obey. He will take care of the details if you just obey.
Seek His Kingdom above all else.

We have the vision. We have some of the people. Now we need the house.
Please pray for us.
Here the journey begins.
