🌿 Have you ever noticed that when life feels uncertain, fear can make us focus on what we lack instead of what God has provided?

This Sunday, join us at The Haft Retreat Center for our Survival + Foraging Seminar with Dr. Adam Brown.

Together we’ll explore how to move from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, learn about the natural resources growing around us, enjoy a guided nature walk, and spend time in community.

🍃 Sunday, June 28
🕝 2:30 PM
📍 Meet at the Red Barn
🍽 Free meal provided afterwards

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and a friend. We look forward to spending the afternoon with you!

✨ Testimony Tuesday ✨

Recently, we had the privilege of hosting a family at the Haft Retreat Center for a time of ministry, restoration, and retreat.

What began as a getaway became an opportunity for healing and growth. Through family ministry, they received practical, Christ-centered tools to strengthen their marriage, improve communication, and parent with greater unity and purpose. Together, they were encouraged to get on one accord as God intended—building a stronger foundation for their home.

Beyond the teaching and ministry, they were also able to slow down and simply be still. In the peaceful setting of our new cabins, they enjoyed quiet moments with the Lord, time away from distractions, and space to hear the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that when families are healthy, marriages are strengthened, and hearts are surrendered to God, lives are transformed.

Please continue to pray for the families who come through our doors. We are honored to be a place where people can encounter God’s presence, receive practical support, and find rest for their souls.

🏡 There is healing here.
❤️ There is hope here.
🙏 There is room for your family here.

We want to say a big THANK YOU to the special family who is donating 4 rocking chairs to the Haft!!! This week we are picking up 2 of them (as you can see) and bringing them to their new home where our guests will love sitting on them and connecting with THE LORD and each other ❤️

Now we seek 4 portable frisbee golf baskets for our guests to enjoy. We found them for $79 on Amazon if anybody wants to help us? They come in 4 colors (which would be neat) and we think families would have fun playing together.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at The Haft Retreat Center! 🎣🦌

Today we honor the fathers, grandfathers, spiritual fathers, and father figures who lead with strength, wisdom, sacrifice, and love. Thank you for the countless ways you provide, protect, encourage, and point your families toward what matters most.

If you’re looking for a place to rest, reconnect, and enjoy God’s creation, we invite you to experience all that the Haft has to offer. Nestled in the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania, our area is known for excellent hunting opportunities and some great fishing right here on our 10-acre lake and throughout the surrounding region.

Whether it’s casting a line at sunrise, sharing stories around a campfire, hiking the trails, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet with your family, the Haft is a place where memories are made and hearts are refreshed.

Today we pray that every father would be strengthened, encouraged, and blessed as he walks out his God-given calling.

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Happy Father’s Day! 💙

✨ He is worthy ✨
This past week, members of the Haft Retreat Center family had the privilege of ministering at a local nursing home through worship, prayer, fellowship, and simply being present with those who often feel forgotten.

As songs of praise filled the room, smiles appeared, hands were lifted, stories were shared, and hearts were encouraged. What a beautiful reminder that ministry isn’t confined to a church building—it happens wherever God’s love is carried.

We believe every person deserves to be seen, valued, and reminded that they are deeply loved by the Lord. It was an honor to bring joy, hope, and the presence of Christ to these precious senior citizens.

“He is worthy to be praised!” 🙌

Thank you to everyone who partners with us as we continue spreading His light and love throughout our local community.

❤️ Join us in our mission to lift His name up and help His people heal.

☕🌿 Coffee, Quiet, and His Presence 🌿☕

There is something sacred about slowing down.

This morning at the Haft Retreat Center, the coffee is warm, the birds are singing, and God’s creation is reminding us of a simple truth: not every moment has to be productive to be meaningful.

Sometimes the greatest gift is simply sitting with the Lord.

A steaming cup in your hands.
A grateful heart.
A quiet place to listen.

In a world that constantly tells us to hurry, achieve, and do more, God often meets us in the small moments—the sunrise over the lake, the gentle breeze through the trees, the sound of worship in the distance, the stillness that allows our souls to breathe again.

When we pause long enough to receive His presence, He fills what the world has drained.

Today, we are thankful for the simple things:
☕ Coffee that warms the body
🌿 Creation that calms the soul
🙏 A Savior who refreshes the spirit

May you find a moment today to sit, breathe deeply, and let the Lord fill your cup.

“Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.” — Psalm 145:16

What small blessing are you grateful for today?

At the Haft Retreat Center, our heart is to see families restored, marriages strengthened, and lives transformed by the healing power of Jesus Christ.

The enemy works hard to divide families, wound relationships, and discourage believers, but we serve a God who restores what has been broken. Healthy families and healthy marriages are vital to a healthy Body of Christ—because when we are healed, we are better equipped to share the hope of the Gospel with a hurting world.

Whether you are carrying burdens from the past, walking through a difficult season in your marriage, or simply longing for a deeper encounter with God, we want you to know that there is hope.

There is healing waiting for you.

Nestled in the beauty of God’s creation, the Haft Retreat Center is a place to rest, reconnect, pray, and encounter the presence of the Lord. We believe God still heals hearts, restores relationships, and writes redemption stories.

Come away with Him for a while. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think.

“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
