Forest Haven is a Christian organization whose purpose is to provide a rural, quiet place of healing hospitality and spiritual refreshment for Christian ministers and missionaries, and their spouses, who need time away from their responsibilities to draw closer to God. Besides offering lodging in a beautiful place, Forest Haven’s Hosts, Randy & Jill Thompson, offer an encouraging and healing ministry of listening, loving and praying. They also respect the privacy of those who wish to be alone.

A place to go,

We so want to thank you for our stay with you. I have thought about it often. Your call and gifting to give pastors a break is so wonderful– so appreciative–so Godly.
Dan and Crystal K.
Forest Haven lived up to its vision–it was certainly a peaceful and restful place where I met the Lord in a fresh way. The Thompsons are wonderful hosts who blessed me with their loving welcome and hospitality as well as a delicious meal. Every little touch in the beautifully appointed apartment spoke of God’s grace and His care. I look forward to my next retreat here.

I’m excited about the ministry of Forest Haven and now having seen it personally, will be a banner-waver for you! And most importantly, I’ll be a prayer warrior with you. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality while I was in NH… it was a wonderful evening and so good to freshen our friendship!

What a wonderful experience I had this weekend! Your hospitality was authentic. I’ve enjoyed the food and fellowship tremendously. The environment within and without was pleasant and the suite was immaculate! I truly rested and enjoyed the reading resources. Thanks for letting God use you both in such a powerful way. I will be back and will recommend Forest Haven to my colleagues! I will continue to pray for the prosperity of your ministry.

Come apart and draw near to the Lord. The beautiful property draws one to his/her creator. The unit is beautiful. The books given point to Jesus. Don’t miss dinner, prayer and fellowship with Randy and Jill. God speaks through them in refreshing and encouraging ways.

We visited again briefly last week. I was reminded of what a quiet, peaceful and comfortable place Forest Haven is. It’s a great opportunity for people in ministry to get away and get recharged.

I just spent 10 days at Forest Haven. I hadn’t been away for a ministry break in a year, and I slept alot, spent time with the Lord, listened to Randy and Jill’s wonderful CD collection, and appreciated reading “A Guide to Prayer for Ministers and Other Servants”. It was a special time for solitude, and wonderful conversations with Randy and Jill. They are kind-hearted and good listeners.
