The vision of Carmel is expressed in the mission statement “SHARING THE RESTORING LOVE OF CHRIST”. Our goal is to be a safe haven that provides the opportunity for physical rest, and emotional and spiritual renewal, for all our guests, regardless of culture, denomination or beliefs.
We also strive to be a place where everyone may find unconditional love and acceptance, and have the opportunity to meet with God and the knowledge of His saving grace through Jesus Christ.
Our desire for all who come to Carmel is that:
“The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Rom15:13
“ Fuel for Faith”
Every evening guests are invited to join together for spiritual encouragement, with the focus on the Bible and the wonder of the Christian faith. No emphasis is put on any particular denominational view and guests should not feel obliged to attend. These are special times of fellowship, where friendships can be developed, ideas discussed, and the love of Christ shared in abundance. On occasion we use a selection of DVD material from valuable and helpful sources.
During the peak (and most holiday seasons) we have teams presenting Holiday Programs, when special care is taken to include children and young people. At these times “Fuel for Faith” often becomes a family gathering, or sometimes special sessions for children and/or teens are provided with simultaneous meetings for adults.
“Fuel for Faith” is held every evening after dinner, meeting from 7.15 to start at 7.30pm, in the Fireside Lounge. Deviations from the normal programs will always be announced at dinner.
