Come refresh, retool & rebuild
The Haft is not-for-profit. We help people by donation.  

The Haft is a Gaelic word meaning "place of shelter in the mountains." The property was purchased in 1958 and was originally a sheep farm. Now it is beautifully restored to help people refresh, retool and rebuild their lives.

Ministry for everyone


​Our caring staff is here to help everyone who comes to the Haft. We have a whole team here ready to serve you, including professional and peer counselors, pastoral couples, minsters, and experienced missionaries. 

Four of our staff served in Central America over 30 years as missionaries before coming to serve at The Haft, so we can provide care for people in both English or Spanish. 

God meets people who come to the Haft and changes lives. It is our joy to help that connection happen.
