Hurricane Helene Updates

We are so thankful that our staff is safe following Hurricane Helene and that we now have power, cell service, and internet back! We are working diligently to get campus back to its pre-storm conditions, continuing to cut down hazardous trees damaged by the storm that are leaning over buildings and common areas.

Our team is on campus clearing trees, picking up brush and getting campus ready for our retreat groups this coming weekend.

Last week, twelve staff members volunteered at Anchor Baptist in Pisgah Forest by helping to package and serve around 500 boxes of food and water for families in the community. They also helped unload and organize several trailers of supplies including diapers, first aid, medicine, food, clothes, and much more.

Please join us in praying:

  • For our community and those around us who have sustained much worse damage

  • For staff on campus as we remain without power, and for ongoing cleanup efforts

  • For non-residential staff - their homes, safety, and families

  • For power and water to our neighboring subdivision residents who we supply water to

  • For safety and strength for those in the area working hard to fix damages

Further Prayer Requests

Prayer is such a powerful gift from God. Will you join us in praying for Ridge Haven and its ministry? We would greatly appreciate it. Here are some suggestions on what to pray for:

  • Ridge Haven’s primary goal has always been for all campers and guests who come here to leave knowing Jesus Christ better than before they came. Pray that if it be His will, the Lord will continue to work through Ridge Haven to lead hearts to Christ.

  • There are so many youth out there in desperate need of hearing the gospel. Pray that Ridge Haven will always have the resources necessary to bring those with financial limitations to camp on scholarship.

  • Ridge Haven’s summer staff and speakers are the foundations of our camp ministry. Pray that they will set a godly example and be a shining light of the Lord’s love for the campers.

  • Praise God for sparking greatly increased interest in Ridge Haven in recent years. Ask that He will continue to open the eyes of more churches and groups to Ridge Haven’s camp and year-round retreat ministries.

  • Pray for the residents of the Ridge Haven community, some of whom are retired and face health challenges. Ask that the Lord may grant them the wellness and strength to continue serving Him.

  • Pray for our Cono campus and its ministry. Pray that those who serve there will be prepared in their service and that many are reached by the gospel there.

Thank you so much for your support and prayers in our mission to reach all generations through our camp, conference, and retreat ministry. It's such a blessing to see what the Lord is doing in the lives of those who come to Ridge Haven, and He is not done yet! The best is yet to come!
