Bethany Home

It has a perfect street address: 1090 Grace St., Mansfield, Ohio. I fell in love with it right away! Call me crazy, I did make an offer on this 150-year old schoolhouse Lincoln School that opened in 1869 and closed in 1975. I am a dreamer, a visionary, and perhaps a giant of faith! I am buying a wonderful piece of history. It will be a labor of much love. I am restoring and transforming it to be a unique home, haven, refuge, retreat, shelter, sanctuary, place of safety, place of security, port in a storm, harbor, oasis, sanctum, sacred place for the future generations of the church, of the community, of the country. Yes, this is the home of my sweet dreams... Lincoln School will transform to be Bethany Home. Bethany, a genuine dwelling of peace and rest, the house of Lazarus, Mary and Martha, which our Lord Jesus loved to visit. We will offer enriching After-School Bible Classes and enjoyable Spiritual Retreats and Conferences for the children, youth and parents of Ohio and neighboring states.  (This can be a start or model of a new revolution and fresh revival in our country. If prayers and the Bible are not allowed in our schools, let's create and provide the environment where we can exercise them freely.)

Help me raise $150,000 to purchase and renovate this unique property.
($50,000 for land and building, $100,000 renovation and improvements)
For the love of our youth and community, please partner with me.

Will you be one of those who will make this dream a reality?
