Jesus' Lakeside Retreat

Frankston, Texas,

United States

Actually, we are just starting and just bought 9 beautiful acres in the Piney Wood area of East Texas. We are also considering the 9 acre lot next to ours if we get enough people to pay the mortgage on it. Both acreages are heavily forested land with lake front and a pond and small stream. We are planning to have a small community of people who love people and want to join with others in doing the Lord's work of evangelism. The only doctrine we follow is that of the Sermon of the Mount. We want a daily common meal and daily study and worship like the early Christians. Real worship with at least an hour of singing. We are looking for all ages people with some income or ability to provide for their own needs and others we will be helping. RV's welcome. If you want to know more then send me your phone number.
