Phase One of our mission began on a small suburban farm—where hospitality, growing things, and gathering around the table took root. Read about our beginnings here.
PHASE TWO
We are now in Phase Two—a transitional season between locations—where our focus has deepened around spiritual formation, the restoration of sacred rhythms (especially Sabbath), and discerning meaningful ways to come alongside, support and minister to young pastors and ministry leaders as well as partner with other local churches in compassion ministry to homeless, widows and orphans.
We believe if a person can take a Sabbath - a full 24 hours - of rest from work that that person has a greater chance of breaking a spirit of “drivenness” so he or she can be “more directed” by Jesus and become a person of love. It is quite difficult to love people in a driven, exhausted, burnt out state. We have heard countless testimonies of people who have broken this drivenness by simply practicing Sabbath. Ours included.
"The Sabbath is not your reward for finished work, it is your rescue from unfinished work." Matt Canlis
PHASE THREE
We are beginning to see the future of Phase Three:(returning to a farm/gardens) and currently adding all the downloads to our hearts onto our vision whiteboard. For now, we're holding details close - leaning into Sabbath rhythms, listening and trusting God's perfect timing that will unfold.
Phase Three will be a return to a farm/gardens - with our personal invitation to
THE PAUSE for Rest. Reflect. Be Renewed.
YOUR PRAYERS & SUPPORT
If you feel drawn to walk with us into Phase Three, your prayers and support mean so much to us. Monthly partners are helping us lay the spiritual and practical foundation for what’s to come—and for that, we are deeply grateful.
In the meantime, we’re continuing to grow Phase Two—extending a personal invitation to our Friday Sabbath Table.
Everything we do through the ministry of The Simple Farm is sustained by God’s grace, provision and the generosity of partners who believe in the mission. Every financial gift matters. Thank you for being part of this unfolding story.
