Here we are stepping into 2015 and with gratefulness anticipating another year of God using Haven for the Heart to strengthen ministries, marriages and individual hearts toward deeper connection with the Lord and one another. So many in leadership are struggling and simply need a safe setting to share their hearts and move forward in their relationships and ministries. It is our passion to provide a Haven where others feel safe to share their hearts with a couple who know the challenges of ministry and truly care about the challenges they are facing. There have been many opportunities in this past year to do this very thing and we are so thankful for the growing team of partners in this endeavor.
What are others saying about Haven for the Heart?
“At various points, Dr. Mike Dittman and Pam have been an influential part of my life for the past thirty years. Mike pastored me so well when I was in college, and today he and Pam’s marriage, life, and ministry continue to challenge and inspire me. Their emphasis on refusing to accept anything less than authentic community is a biblical and prophetic message in a culture that is becoming increasingly alienated and superficial. They are both gifted teachers, but their ministry is also one of “presence.” You have to spend time with them in the same room to “get” it. Though there are literally hundreds of people who do what I do, I don’t know of a single other couple that does precisely what Mike and Pam do. That is why I am so eager to support their ministry and encourage others to be as blessed as I have by sitting under their teaching and counsel.” - Gary Thomas (author/speaker)
“After two decades in ministry, I’d gained a respectable level of proficiency, a solid reputation, and the trust of many. But truth be known, I was exhausted and losing touch with my call. I was surviving, but barely. I was badly in need of spiritual CPR. I got exactly that and more after spending several days with Mike. If you need your heart revived, and your sense of call renewed, contact Haven for the Heart right away.” - Ken Jones (pastor)
“Words fail us; we cannot thank you enough for hearing our story, loving us and pouring into our lives. We are forever grateful. Thank you for your beautiful ministry. The accommodations were absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have been any more comfortable and relaxed. Thank you for each wonderful detail and for the delicious food. We intend to take what you have given us and continue to allow God to bless our broken road and use us for His glory. Our “beautiful mess” is for His purpose and glory. You will be in our hearts and in our prayers. Believing God to continue to pour into you and anoint you so that you can continue to hugely impact others as you have us. We love you and your family.”
