A Vacation With A Purpose
This special discounted rate is offered to make it convenient for you to visit Ridgecrest or Glorieta. During your visit, we trust you will take full advantage of the many recreation opportunities and area attractions available. But understand that our mission is not to serve as merely another hotel option in the Asheville, NC or Santa Fe, NM areas. Our mission is to guide people to a closer relationship with each other, and ultimately – Jesus Christ.
These are special places where ministers and missionaries have been called, thousands annually have been saved, and godly relationships formed. Ridgecrest and Glorieta are where people come to look into the mountains – and listen to God. Lives suddenly change. Priorities become realigned. And personal goals give way to God’s perfect will.
So we ask that you include in your plans to visit, time for God to work in your life. Some may wake early to watch the sun rise from atop Ridgecrest’s Royal Gorge Lookout. Others may choose to invest time in quiet reflection in Glorieta’s beautiful Prayer Garden.
It is our purpose and prayer that every guest leave with a renewed relationship with God and a clearer understanding of His will for their life.
