For the advancement of the Gospel & the love of God’s Kingdom workers

We offer a private place of rest for those who are serving in cross-cultural ministry, and for mission agency directors.

The Hills Abide & Rest is a non-denominational ministry located in the lower level of our home on the south edge of Rapid City, South Dakota. We serve cross-cultural workers and mission CEOs who need space and time to abide with the Lord in a quiet environment. Nearby hiking paths, parks with playgrounds and the beauty of the Black Hills give our guests additional opportunities to seek the LORD and process what has transpired in their lives.

SUPPORT OPTIONS

  • Debriefing, semi-formal (includes structured time together)
  • Marriage refreshment
  • A neutral site to meet with your organization leaders/workers
  • Pastoral counseling (cross-cultural issues, family, etc.)
  • Personal spiritual refreshment
  • Christian counseling intensive with local Christian counselors (longer stay available)

Mission CEOs and Missionaries

Our 35 years as global workers and 20 years of that as mission directors have given us life experiences in how to help meet the needs of tired and disillusioned mission leaders who need a listening ear by people who have experienced the challenges of leadership in ministry.  We know life as a CEO can be all-consuming, therefore, getting away to a space designed for rest, where leaders can receive hospitality rather than pour out, is essential.   Vulnerability requires trust and is often difficult for leaders to access within their own ministry contexts. We keep absolute confidentiality and have only one motive: helping you find true rest in Christ’s love as you abide in Him.

Staff Care: Night and Day we pray earnestly for you, asking God to let us see you again to fill the gaps in your faith. 1 Thessalonians 3:10
