From the first time I came to the Wilderness in 2012 I just knew it would be a place I would return to often. As I stayed at the various cabins and read the journals, I was so encouraged by the impact these prayer cabins were having. God began to lay on my heart that I wanted to be a part of this. Ever since my first visit I thought it would be so amazing to have a cabin built that would be a legacy for my family and a place that would provide a space for others to find a deeper connection with God.
I shared my thoughts with Randy and the story began…..
I chose to name the cabin ‘Grace’, partly because that is my oldest grandchild’s middle name. But mostly, as I look back on my life it has all been because of God’s grace and mercy that I am where I am today. (1 Corinthians 15:10) Not only have I been saved by grace, (Ephesians 2:5), but His grace has been sufficient for all my needs. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
My prayer for all who enter into this cabin, or God’s presence anywhere, is that you would be overwhelmed with His grace, mercy and peace. And especially know His unfailing love and kindness. God is absolutely good – all the time!
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16
For all the generations yet to come,
– B.J. Stone-Olsen
The Grace Prayer Cabin is a custom built, stick framed building tucked into the woods on the edge of the prayer cabin village. With its “single level” floor plan it feels roomy and is easily accessible. It boasts a large picture window with a view of the wetlands, a beautiful gas fireplace, a mini-split air source heat pump unit to provide both heating and air-conditioning, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, coffee maker, a few basic dishes, silverware, a sink and water jug for drinking and cooking needs, and miscellaneous utensils.
To make your stay as comfortable as possible a queen-sized bed, table and chairs, rocking chair and a comfortable twin sleeper loveseat are provided.
A very modern, well lit, heated pit toilet is close to the cabin but also a fully modern bathroom with shower is a few hundred feet away. View a photo tour of our shower house and outhouses.
Parking for your car is about 45’ from the cabin with a level path leading right to the front porch.
Many of the prayer cabins has been provided for by a specific family in honor or memory of a loved one. These families have provided/donated all the necessary funds and input to build the cabin. We work closely with each family to create a cabin fitting to our call and mission. You could also invest in hundreds of people’s lives by funding a cabin. Please contact Randy if interested.
Modern, lighted, heated, no smell outhouses are located close by. Also, there is a fully modern shower house and flush toilets that serves the whole prayer cabins village. See photos of the modern shower house and outhouses.
