If you are a person in full-time Christian ministry and sense that you
or your spouse could use two nights per year of complete rest and
refreshment in the Lord, the Lamb's Tale invites you to the Haven
River Inn in Comfort, Texas, where this is offered free to you on
most any Sunday-Thursday.
This ministry has been involved in the caring for and
healing of the souls of Christian leaders since 1998. We find that
through surprisingly short ‘respites’ that ministers and their
spouses can restore a certain margin for ‘hearing’ from God and
others that is very rejuvenating. Some come to the Haven and sleep
for 14 hours straight. Others come and plan their next series of
sermons. And others go play golf or go fishing, but the first step
in planning such a luxury is the hardest. And that is taking the
time away from the demands of ministry. But current statistics say
that over 1300 Christian leaders quit each month in America….so it
is our hope that ministers will take the time, before ‘running out
of time’.
Dr. Eugene
Peterson says in Working the Angles, "There is a saying among
physicians that a doctor who is his own doctor has fool for a
doctor." If those entrusted with the care of the body cannot be
trusted to look after their own bodies, far less can those entrusted
with the care of souls look after their own souls which are even
more complex than bodies and have a correspondingly greater capacity
for self-deceit."…and the Lamb’s Tale agrees….So come, ‘Catch Your
Breath.’ |
