Tell me about San Geronimo House!

Several years ago, my colleagues Matt & Toni Daniels had the opportunity to purchase a beautiful home about 45 minutes outside of the city. (We all live in the capital city of Montevideo.) The former owners were Christians and their children were hoping that the home and property could continue to serve as a place for people to spend time with God. And that was Matt & Toni's vision, too!

San Geronimo house is located in the middle of a eucalyptus forest. You have to take a dirt road off of the highway to get to it and then you drive in a lane that is lined by these big trees.

By the time you pull up to the front of the house, you feel like you're in another world!! And that's just the feeling that people often need as they leave their work, their home and the many things that might be heavy on their minds and come away for a day, several days or even a week!

We've had some really fun birthday parties at the house! There's lots of space to go for a hike in the woods, play games on the grass and eat cake with ice cream!

We also hold retreats and workshops at the house as well. There are three bedrooms with lots of bunk beds and two bathrooms so up to 15 people can sleep in the main house. 

But the house set empty for several years and so there are a LOT of repairs that need to be done: the bathroom and kitchen plumbing, painting the walls, fixing the leaking roof...  All of that takes money and people to do the work...

Several people from my home church in the States will be arriving on June 21st, 2014 and we're looking forward to painting the living room, entry, hallway and hopefully one of the bathrooms as well. Also, we hope to finish the plumbing changes that were needed in the one bathroom. I'm looking forward to having them here!  They'll be staying till the 29th in order to celebrate my birthday with me!  (yeehaw!!)

San Geronimo House is a great place to rest, play, hike, pray, learn, grow and spend time with God. We want to make the property ready for all of these things! Thanks for your interest!!
