MISSION
“And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it”
Habakkuk 2.2
Habakkuk 2.2
In today's society most Christians, and their leaders, have been ridiculed, shamed and overworked to the point of physical and spiritual exhaustion.
That is why we have a vision to build a spiritual retreat so that Christians can encounter an environment of Jesus in a whole new way: gaining rest, alignment, and refreshment in the Spirit to ensure they can become effective in advancing the Kingdom of God.
“And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:13
We want to provide our Christian brothers and sisters from around the globe, with a real church without walls environment where they can experience the supernatural in a whole new way. Allowing believers to capture God's heartbeat, their first love or instruction for a breakthrough. Giving Christians time to heal, and gain realignment with the Spirit of God. Making environments and atmospheres of Jesus available for every visitor.
Cristina and I believe four major things. The Lords: 1. Leading 2. Process, 3. Provision & 4. Timing
We believe to take hold of the vision which God has given us, we must focus on two main phases.
Here's Phase I
“Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.”
Job 8:7
Job 8:7
We want to share the land God gave us with all our brothers and sisters in Christ, without any exceptions or objections! But!
Cristina and I sense the urgency to make a start: so first and foremost we'd like to start by honouring and serving God's gifts to the church from around the globe:
Pastors, Evangelists, Prophets, Apostles, and Teachers.
“Look not to your own interest, but to every man also on the things of others.”
Philippians 2:4
We would like to be able to host them. In accordance with 3 John 1:5, we truly want to be faithful to God and care for the travelling ministers who pass through.
We want to provide for such ministers of the Gospel in a manner that pleases God. The Bible says these gifts to the church accept nothing from people who are not believers.
So we ourselves should support them so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth.

However, the land has no supply of services like energy or sewerage. So, by God's Grace, we need to design and install every provision from: water storage and plumbing to solar energy and everything in between.
But, this is only the beginning; God expects us to provide for our future guests in a way that pleases Him! So naturally we want to excel in our service.
We plan to:
Camping port
1. Build a camping port on our land so that the ministers can stay there and connect with God in a whole new way.
MAINTAIN THE GROUNDS
2. Ensure that all the areas of the farm are well cared for, whilst maintaining their natural beauty by managing the growth of grass, plants, trees, and fruits amongst other things.
Fresh food
3. We want to grow the best vegetables a minister of the gospel could eat, Portugal has some of the best soil on the planet, and we hope to use that to our advantage as we take care of our guests of honour.

BALL-PERAZIM POND
4. In 2 Samuel 5:20 David tells us that Baal-Perazim means “The Lord who breaks through”. The pond will be formed in the shape of a butterfly, which has a prophetic symbolism of a breakthrough! We want to give the leaders of the gospel a space where they can connect with God through the mighty rushing sounds of water!

2x RAISED VIEWING DECK & PERGOLA
5. These are located on terraced number two, next to Ball-Perazim pond. We would like the decks to be used interchangeably. Sometimes as viewing decks, others as platforms for prayer or teaching.

OUTSIDE CHAPEL
6. We want to provide a place and space that resembles a church but like no other, one that focuses on the artwork of God as they look out over the mountains.

the word sweeter than honey
7. We plan to have a bee hive or two: as the bible says the word is sweeter than honey, but let’s set the expectation by serving our ministers with the best honey we can get by bee-friending some of God's creatures.
Meditation Decks
8. We want to build a 2-3 meditation deck throughout the farm so that Ambassadors for Christ can soak in the Word, gain realignment in the Spirit, hear God's voice and lay hold of the vision God has for their lives, family and congregation.

Next up, Phase II
We want to Go Large and obtain a large piece of land to give the same opportunities to the body of Christ.
But first, let’s see how God begins to unfold phase 1. Lord willing it goes to plan.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12.2
Romans 12.2
We document, and share our journey of faith: How God took us from debt and despair and made us a Christ co-heir (Romans 8:17): so that we could encourage others to take real steps towards FREEDOM in Christ.
Inspiring them to pursue the Good, Acceptable, and Perfect Will of God for their Life!
