We are grateful for the opportunity to support The Haven TC as our December 2023 Precision Cares Recipient.
“Since its birth, The Haven has been a place of rest and restoration for peoples' spirits, souls, and bodies. Haven's roots go deep into the soil of the past, both physically and spiritually. Located on a forty-acre property that has helped hurting individuals and families for nearly two decades.
Created in 1999 as a branch of House of Hope in Orlando, FL, the property hosted and ministered to broken and emotionally wounded teenagers. In 2010, the ministry became Abba's House. That continued House of Hope's tradition of bringing truth and healing, but broadened the scope to include more ages, issues, and family circumstances.
The Haven Retreat seeks to honor its heritage and multiply it by using the property to continue bringing healing by hosting Christ centered retreats, schools, and camps.”
