The mission of Eagles Nest is to worship our Creator, provide a fun-filled and peaceful setting, challenge each person to lifestyle Christianity reflecting true discipleship, reach the unbeliever, and to minister to the medical needs of many within a family friendly setting!
In the "for profit" division, we have acquired the majority of the Lots in the subdivision as well as the developer's rights. We are working to have Lots for sale for homes, cabins, RVs, and Mobiles. The plans include a 24-room river front lodge and covered pool, a highway front restaurant, craft shops, and an old-fashioned ice cream fountain, RV rental spots, a 5-acre lake on our two spring fed creeks, and a pond connecting to the Trinity River with a boat ramp. We will be headquarters to the Eagles Nest & Big Thicket Railroad as it expands into the Nest and neighboring communities. A family health club will be using our indoor heated pool.
In the Charitable Trust Division of the Nest we can foresee a group of homes for elderly needing daily care. We would look to start a home for dependent children. A former pastor asked how a "boot camp" for training missionaries might fit. A Christian academy and home school office are already in the works. Plans call for a 300 seat auditorium and a 400 seat outdoor amphitheater for concerts and large group activities. Since Mrs. Jo's heart attack, we have begun to draw up plans for a long term rehabilitation clinic with wound care center and hyperbaric chambers. Skilled nursing care rooms for patients and families are in the works.
Our [the Ledbetters] experience in Christian and public education totals around 55 years. We both have been involved in church and camp for most of our lives. Our unction from the Father is urging the church to recognize the soon coming of our Lord Jesus. Our ministry is revivalist in nature. The calling came from our prime Spiritual Gift --Prophecy. Conviction, Repentance, and Salvation -- in that order -- is our message through the Holy Spirit to the churches. Please call us for details on our seminars and counseling sessions. We will conduct them here at the Nest or in your church.
We have envisioned these things through the timing of the Lord and will work them as Father provides. The Purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ is plain to us as we move to accomplish what we have been assigned.
