We are offering you a FREE two night stay at The Haft, a healing farm for families and individuals. We are located in Bradford County, PA.
We invite you to come refresh and renew on what is called "a holy mountain" by Ken Reinford at Petra. We are offering a free 2 night stay for pastors and their wives in Lancaster Conference in hopes that you also will come to love and trust our ministry and refer people here who need help.
The Haft was founded in 1958 and is currently managed by missionaries Drew and Cindy Metcalf. Their sending Church is Weaverland and they served as the Youth Pastor Couple for four years, then served in Guatemala for 10 years, and now serve as missionaries at The Haft. Galen and Phyllis Groff, long-time EMM missionaries, also now serve at The Haft.
The Haft is here to help individuals, marriages and families heal from life's struggles. We especially enjoy helping youth and parents heal together. "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and children to their fathers" (Malachi 4:6). We want this holy mountain to be a resource for your congregation.
To find out more about The Haft, please visit our website Family-Refresh.com or call us at 570-363-2189
Our heart is to work together with you,
Drew & Cindy Metcalf | | LMC Churches
