Almond Grove | Generational Ministry

For the Feast of Tabernacles, it costs us a significant amount each year to hire a campsite, hosting 70 people (and growing). If we had our own the land, the plan would be to invest that sum into the land each year, to improve facilities and the capacity to host our growing church.

Yah has shown us the perfect system to build a community and it’s all centred around His feast days.

Below are a few reasons why we do not want to rent a building:

- Spiritually tainted grounds
- ie most rented halls host ungodly, secular affairs of the world through the week
- Under worldly authority, as witnessed during "lockdown"
- Limits our building vision and ability to scale
- No long-term/generational mindset eg. landlord could sell the property

We are seeking anything larger than 4 acres within 20 minutes' drive from Almond House in Merseyside. This offers us room for expansion with the ability to cultivate the land.

There are two plots of land we have looked at; one is four acres for roughly £150,000.The other is seven acres for £165,000.The remainder of the £200,000 would go toward legal fees and to build an annexe.

We have been blessed by having several builders by trade in the Fellowship.

The plan is to build several annexes which require no building permission, thus keeping costs relatively low.

We aim to use renewable energy and have a septic tank on site.

To provide accommodation for sojourners from afar. Space to host the weekly Shabbat gatherings and seasonal Feast Days.

A Trust would be created to manage the land. The Trust would be run by appointed trustees within the Fellowship. So donating towards Almond Grove does not equate to any ownership of the land.

*This method could be subject to change, as we research the most efficient, communal method.

We currently host one of the largest Tabernacle gathering in the UK, and it is only getting bigger, all praise be to Yah.

As a community, we need a bigger place to gather. With His blessing, just like the loaves and fish, He can turn one small donation into many, providing for all.

One wealthy individual could be compelled to tithe or bless us with an offering. Land may be expensive in the UK yet is there anything too difficult for the Lord?

This model of community has already existed many times in the world before.

A kibbutz, for example, is an Israeli type of settlement deeply rooted in the values of social responsibility, communal and cooperative living within a Biblical culture.

They trade, are self-sufficient through agriculture and other means, and even have their own private hospitals and supermarkets!

Although our vision is not to all live on the land, our purpose once we do own land, alongside the combined effort of the community, is to create a training ground to build up disciples of Yahshua, whilst nurturing a livelihood founded on Biblical values.

Yes, according to the Bible we are living in the end times, and Yahshua could come back in our generation.

There are many Christians who are not preparing for involvement in creating a community for believers.

This prevents ourselves from building facilities to cultivate Kingdom work. Almost as if we are burying our talent until the Master returns.

Evangelism is wonderful, as is preaching the Feasts of Yah, telling others to repent and come to know Yahshua.

But then you are asked 'That sounds amazing, where can I go to observe the Feasts?'

Or 'I want to learn more about Yahshua'.

Setting up a sanctuary will give Almond House the ability to follow up evangelism by offering the full package of discipleship.

- Before giving, please be aware donations will not be refunded.

- The framework of the Almond Grove may change as we develop the project.
