We had a wonderful evening with the Tennessee River Boys.
The concert was great! Fantastic food was offered by Legends Smokehouse BBQ.
Over $20,000 was given to further the ministry of Eagle's Wing!

Rest Reset Soar
There are a lot of great "re" words for a retreat center to use: rest, renew, restore, reset, revive. As we were thinking through a "tag line" of sorts we knew we wanted to convey the idea of a place of rest and renewal. While we were tossing ideas around we came across a sermon from a pastor in Mt. Juliet. He had a series and used "reset" in the title. (I don't remember all of the details as I"m writing this, but we decided that a "reset" is exactlly what a lot of us need. The toils and troubles of life can get us off track. We need a time and a place set aside where we can rest in the Lord, and rest from work and rest.... and then we need to let the Holy Spirit work in our hearts and reset us. Reset us back to following our first Love. Reset us where again we are spending time in prayer and Bible study and looking to the Lord for - well, everything.
Then, after we have rested our bodies and minds and spirits, when we have reset our hearts and minds to the things of the Lord we can SOAR! We can do great Kingdom things! We are no longer struggling to do things in our own strength. We can now soar on wings like an eagle.
This is the main purpose of Eagle's Wing. To give you and others a place where you can rest, reset and then leave to soar above the troubles of life and live the abundant life that Jesus calls us to.
Rest. Reset. Soar!
Pastors Burnout
"The Challenge of Pastoral Burnout" is an article from 2017 that talks about pastors burning out and how one group is working to help pastors before they burn out and drop out of ministry.
At Eagle's Wing, we also are working to encourage and support pastors. Having a place for retreat, refreshment and relaxation for pastors is one of the missions of Eagle's Wing Ministries, LLC is our plan. Our master plan includes cabins for a pastor retreat area and a small chapel and library. Contact us to see how you can help us in our ministry to pastors!

What's In a Name - Part 1
Eagle's Wing Ministries
It's a long story on how we ended up with a retreat center in our future. The ministry that was first put in our hearts was a ministry to clergy - pastors and denominational workers who need a time of refreshing, renewal or just a day or two of relaxation. Pastors and their families face burnout, failure (real or perceived, moral, financial or other) exhaustion and more. We want to provide a place and resources to minister to those who give their lives ministering to others.
It's probably no surprise that one of the verses that came to mind for people needing renewal would be Isaiah 40:31.
There are things that we can offer to those who need renewal - a restful, peaceful campground, a small chapel for a quiet place for Bible study and prayer, resources, a friendly smile and someone to share your burdens - things like that. But all of these are just ways to point people to Jesus. It is in Him that we find our strength, our peace, our comfort, our joy. Eagle's Wing Ministries' purpose is
- To provide opportunities for people to grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus Christ.
Clergy, pastors, men, women, teenagers, sr. adults - we want to encourage you and provide a place and programming and support for you to grow in your faith and in your relationship with Jesus. Come join us!
