"David and Louise are the most gracious hosts! They are very intentional about helping you focus on God's purpose for you being with them... rest. Truly, we rested and were very blessed. Blessed rest are the best words to decribe Deer Ridge Ministries! My wife and I travelled 9 hours to retreat here and we have no regrets from our experience here, only grateful memories!" - Pastor Jon Yarian
