Help fund the Sabbath-Lodge and be part of a social crowdfunding effort that will re-write history.
I Have a Dream
To see humanity set free from the anxious toil of business and hurry.
To see humanity reset its trajectory by striving less to accomplish and slowing down to be at rest.
To see humanity begin to flourish by working from rest.
To see the course of history changed through how we rewrite our rest-work-life scripts!
In our present-tense reality, most people are anxious, burned out and languishing. Our world is on a collision course with disaster because we have failed to grasp that rest is not optional, it is central to wholeness.
'Dream 2 Reality'
A vision for a better future can only begin to take shape when it shifts from being in the imagination of the dreamer to becoming a shared vision - it's a risky business! Martin Luther King Jr. took that risk when he climbed up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and shared his dream with the world. Today, it's my turn. I am taking a leap of faith and sharing my vision with you, in the hope that you will see value in making my dream, our future reality.
The donations raised through this funding campaign will be used to establish the first Sabbath Lodge in New Zealand. Your generous donations will help create a sacred space where people from around the world can come and rediscover the hidden treasures of God's rest-work rhythm for life. Please join me in creating a legacy of rest that will inspire future generations to work smarter!
Design, construction and furnishing of 2 main buildings and 5 cottages, purchasing land and garden landscaping. As per site guidelines: if I don't raise much, I will furnish guest rooms in my home (with linen etc) to host retreats for 2-3 guests at a time.
A Long Obedience 21 June 2024
It's been two years since I launched this Sabbath Lodge Givealittle funding campaign, which has raised a little over $1000. Many would say I should give up because the total raised is well short of my $5M target. I am choosing instead to stay committed to a long obedience in the same direction because I know I am going after a dream destined to fail without divine intervention!!
Lu, I am so delighted to have your support. May you inherit a full measure of the blessing God has promised to those who give cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:6-9). Shalom, Dru
Dara, how wonderful to hear about your transformation! I look forward to walking alongside you as you invite God to fine tune your unique faith-rest-work-life rhythm. Thank you for becoming part of my dream team, I can't wait to welcome you to the Sabbath Lodge someday.
Sophie, thank you so much for sowing into the dream Abba has entrusted me with. May you inherit a full measurer of the blessing promised in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver".
Linda, thank you for believing in the vision and sowing into it! May you inherit the blessing of Luke 6:38, in return: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Shalom, Dru.
