| Ahh, few things compare to the beauty of the towering and rugged Colorado Rocky Mountains. Here, you will find peaceful layers of snow covering these ancient mountains in the winter months, while warm and beautiful sunny skies set the tone for the busy buzz of the summer season. Although this land is rich in natural beauty and breath-taking views, even these highest mountains look on with envy at the majestic view of people living together actually loving one another. Our life is not free from problems, and we have our wrinkles to iron out, but the love of our Creator poured out into our hearts causes us to overcome what would separate us. We love our life of togetherness. Come with me and let me tell you a little bit more.
We are a busy hive of 8 families and about 15 single people. Around here you will see us training our children at home, cooking meals for one another, working at our 24 hour Maté Factor Café, working on our Forest Keepers Tree Service, doing construction work, delivering organic produce. Above all, we strive to be available to meet the pressing needs that one another has.
24/6 is our motto at our Maté Factor Café. At our café we specialize in a variety of yerba maté drinks. Our own breads are baked there, and most everything is made from scratch including sandwiches to salads, wraps and smoothies. The only part of the week we are not open is when we stop to prepare for, and participate in our Sabbath.
This is our set apart day to spend time with one another, our families and the sojourners among us. Our Sabbath starts with a vibrant celebration on Friday night. We break out our instruments and come together with singing, dancing and listening to one another express the deep things that are on our hearts. A lavish meal is enjoyed with one another and our guests. No strangers to having guests, we are earnestly seeking for those who have the same heart as we do—to love one another the way our Creator loves us.
On a daily basis we gather together morning and evening to sing, speak and worship. Our meals are taken together. We share all our finances, and work together to provide for one another’s needs. A priority is made of coming to a common understanding in areas where we may have problems with one another. We know that it is our unity that will prove to the world that the Father sent His Son. We are devoted to building each other up in love.
We love to have guests, and appreciate them entering in on our life with us. Everyone is needed and necessary. We warmly invite you to visit us or to give us a call. Please don’t be intimidated. Once we were alone, but now we are not. Once we were not a people, but now we are. Once we had not received mercy, but now we have mercy to give. Come visit us here at the foot of Pike’s Peak, where God’s tender shoot is springing forth, bound to become a mighty tree. | Contact: Links: The Black Box: The bible is a black box, explaining the crash of the vibrant love of the first believers. |
