God's Amazing Grace
As summer turns into fall, we reflect over these weeks of
ministering to our guests….of seeing God’s amazing grace at
work in lives as they get away from their daily lives.
One of our guests left this gracious note…
“
It was the other night when I couldn’t sleep that I got up
and went to the book shelf to get something to read. God
led me to the book ‘Experiencing Fathers Embrace’.
I started reading it and knew where God was taking me the
next day. I was able to sleep. I got up in the morning and
started reading. I cried the better part of the day as God
showed me my woundedness and inability to receive love from
friends and family. He also exposed my competitive nature and
how it is hurting me and others. The healing has begun. I feel
totally at peace. I have been forgiven.
I know this place is bathed in prayer. God’s presence is
evident. This allows me to be free and vulnerable to what God
wants to show me and expose in me without fear of attack or
condemnation.
This place is a source of healing, restoration and rest.
I know I am safe here in God’s provision.
Coming to Fairhaven is like entering a protective bubble
where God can freely pour out His love and it can be received
without hindrance or pretense. I always leave here walking a
little closer to God."
Thank you for sharing in this ministry of providing hope
and healing, support, and encouragement for our Christian
workers.

A New Year
It is with anticipation and gratitude that we enter
2008…thanking God for 10 years of miracles and His faithfulness
at Fairhaven, Canada.
We have much work to accomplish in the months ahead as we
finish Cottage #5 – anticipating the dedication in June.
Plans for the Charles Shepson Lodge are under way and we
anticipate breaking ground for this facility in June as well.
The Miracle on the Mountain continues as we put our hand
in the Hand of God and find it is safer than a known way!

Thank You
Dear Friends,
We are now finished our dinner tour for 2007 and once again it has been a highlight for us and the ministry of Fairhaven.Each location provided wonderful opportunity to interact with some of our faithful supporters and make new acquaintances with others who are interested. We sensed a wonderful spirit in each place and are greatly encouraged.
Included in the generous financial giving at the dinners were funds for furnishing the meeting room, and provision of a new lap top computer.
With deep gratitude,
Len & Fay Frank

A New Dimension
A record number of guests enjoyed our village on Silver Star Mountain this past year. They came for many reasons and left feeling they had profited greatly from being at this special place.
We will have another cottage available for the use of our guests by this summer. Even with this addition, we are quickly filling in the spaces for July and August. We are open year-round and each season has its own advantages and attractive features.
This year we are adding a life coaching dimension to our services. Details will follow on this website when the coaching team is in place. Currently, coaching is available at the Fairhaven village and soon you will have the option of linking with a life coach by telephone.

Exciting Summer
The last few months have been incredibly exciting as we monitor daily construction progress on the new staff residence which will also serve as laundry facilities, office and Gathering Room until the Charles Shepson Welcome Center is built.
They have also been exciting summer months as we have had “full house” in our facilities….it has been a joyful reminder of “why” we are doing “what” we are doing.
We’ve been blessed by the host of volunteers who have donated and installed a heating system, helped with construction, cut grass and watered lawns, energetically cut trees and hauled out truckloads of dead brush, cleaned cottages, done electrical work, operated heavy equipment, sewed curtains, and lovingly filled the role of guest services. Our gratitude is boundless.
