A school/retreat/camp/church/home in waiting

Becky and I went to see a school in Kentucky that's for sale. It took exactly an hour and a half from our door in Nashville to the front circled drive of the school. We met the owner and walked through this 2600 square foot facility with 12 large classrooms, a fairly large library, front offices, satellite dish, fiber optics/internet ready in most rooms, large kitchen, a gymnasium with a stage complete with spot lights, curtains, and sort of a baseball field on 13 acres of land that is surrounded by thousands of acres of a state park with a beautiful lake.

I found this school about 8 months ago and decided that it was not right for us to pursue at the time. I asked the owner if he would email me this spring if it had not sold. Due to what the Lord is doing in our lives, our extended family's lives, when he emailed...we had to go and see what this was all about.

I was hoping it to be the right setting for a baseball camp but now feel that this may be waiting for my nephew who is possibly moving back to our area to start a school to train missionaries as they head out to minister around the world. My two nephew's and their families, and niece, have been missionaries in Thailand for the past 14 plus years and now feel led to help more people prepare for their ministries. Also, being from a missionary family myself (Korea) our family has always felt a desire to have a place for missionaries to spend time getting away to retreat in a place that is quiet and away from the cares of the world. A place to give them a time of refreshing before they head back to their field.

Still...not sure if this is what we are called to do at this time but, the owner has given my a selling price that if I told you what it was, you would think I'm nuts for not buying the property! So, we ask for your prayers as to what we should do. It may not be for our vision, but it may be for someone that the Lord will bring into the picture. It's an amazing place that really has no problems or in much need of repair...but I believe it needs the right people to use it for the glory of God. Pray the Lord shows us it's purpose! Who knows...maybe its for all the things I mentioned and much more than I could ever dream.
