"New Road to New Opportunities"

After nearly six months of negotiations and wranglings we are finally there. We now own the land to the north of Crag House Farm.

We cannot truly express how grateful we are to those who have given so generously to enable us to purchase this much-needed land. When we were notified that the land was officially ours, the first thing we did was to get all the staff and young people together to go into each field to pray that the Lord would bless our endeavours to use the land for his glory.

This land will not only enable us to expand the Agricultural project, but it will also enable us to build a new access road. This has been desperately needed for some years now. Those of you who have visited us at Open Day will know how congested the lane can get, and with the ever increasing popularity of our projects here at Crag House Farm, we are getting even more traffic.

The new road will enable easier access for our supporters and staff, and will also enable us to tap into passing trade, because we are going to develop the small farm shop on site.

We believe that this year's developments will enable us to open up the farm for more visitors to come here to enjoy God's wonderful creation, seen through the many different facets of Caring For Life's work.

We thank God for the wonderful provision of this new land, with the new and wonderful opportunities it will bring to share the Love of Jesus with the many damaged and hurting people in our care.
