The primary ministry of Genesee Home is to provide an environment
where Pastors, Missionaries and their spouses can step away
from the pressures of ministry in order to let the Holy Spirit
minister to them.
A week at Genesee Home is a Sabbath time of going deep in your
relationship with your spouse, going deep in Scripture, and
going deep into the presence of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
It is a time to remember that ministry flows out of rest and
empowering by the Risen, Reigning Lord Jesus Christ. It is unlike
any retreat or conference you have ever attended. Our focus
is on providing those in Full Time Ministry time and space to
strengthen their spiritual and emotional lives. It is not only
a time of Spiritual renewal but also marriage renewal.
To help facilitate the Sabbath week we offer the following:
- Quiet time to be in the presence of God
- Uninterrupted time with your spouse
- Opportunities to be inspired by God regarding your ministry, personal walk, calling, etc.
- Prayer time, both individually, as couples, and with other Pastors, Missionaries and spouses
- Time in the Word
- Time to just relax and let go
- Reading time (many resources are provided)
- Opportunity to fellowship over dinner and throughout the evening with our host couple and the other guests.
- Discussions on marriage, family and ministry
- Opportunities for recreation on the ranch
- We ask that you observe a fast from most electronic media such as cell phones, faxes, computers and the internet.
- Encouragement, a listening ear, prayer, and Spiritual Direction as needed with our Host Couple.
We do not provide the following:
- Professional counseling
- Therapy sessions
If there is a need for formal counseling, please visit our resource section for links to other Christian Ministries we recommend or contact our
Ministry Director for assistance.
