“When I first found out about Let Love Farm, I was serving as a missionary in Malawi, Africa. I had seen posts on Facebook and knew in my heart that this was something great but at that point, I really knew nothing about this farm. When I returned to the states, I had the opportunity to find out a little more about what the vision for the farm was from Nan. I loved the thought of this farm being a place of peace, refuge, solace, joy…so many things. The thought of having a place for people who are broken to be able to go and find hope, comfort and encouragement in the beauty of God’s creation sounded like a perfect place to me. I’ve been that “broken person” on more than one occasion in my life. I’ve also seen others who have been broken with nowhere to go and no one to talk to. So, the thought of this farm offering peace and hope to broken people brings joy to my heart. I have a hope and a peace that some others don’t have…hope that’s found only in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I want others, especially those who are hurting and feeling hopeless to know about this same peace that I have, and I think this farm is going to be an open door for this Good News to be shared with others. And for me personally, being able to be out on the farm away from the hustle and bustle of daily life has been a blessing. Whether I am just walking the property and checking out the changes that have occurred since my last visit or helping clear out trees to make room for a bench, I find peace in being out there and feeling the presence of God.”
