Since September of 1999 we have purchased thirty-eight acres and a small house about three miles from the retreat center. The vision is to build a new lodge and move the current operation, located on one acre, to the new site. The original purchase of twenty-four acres was the remainder of a cattle farm. To differentiate between the two locations we’ve always referred to the latter as “the farm”… until now. As we get closer to building a new facility, we believe that “The Haven” more accurately describes what the Lord wants the new place to be. It is indeed our prayer that it will be a “safe place;” a “refuge;” a “Haven,” for all who come in the future. Officially it will be referred to as “Icthus at the Haven” or simply, “The Haven.” Please join with us in praying for God’s plan to bring this vision into reality. His plan is absolutely the most important thing, because when we have His plan, He brings everything we need exceedingly, abundantly, more than we can dream or imagine, according to Ephesians 3:20 [show] Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, (ESV).
