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.
