What is a sabbatical?

Sabbatical is an often misunderstood term.  Rest is something we all crave, but few recognize just as Jesus carved out times of rest away in seclusion with His Father, we too should make it a practice to do the same.  Why…because time alone with the Father not only helps us to rest and recover, but in that time of rest God also prepares us for the journey ahead. 

Where do I go to find sabbatical rest?

Rainbow Christian Camp - REST Ministries is located on the campus of Rainbow Christian Camp in  Converse, Indiana and all are welcome to come away for a time of sabbatical rest and stay in one of their quiet cabins.

For availability please contact Rainbow Christian Camp at 765-395-3638.

(Please note: Rainbow's cabins are not available in the summer months, due to summer youth programming).

Shepherd's Gate Inn – The future retreat centre of REST Ministries will make a great place for time away with God. Plans are being developed to make this a very special place to “sit at the feet of Jesus.”
