About
Radiate International

Encountering the beauty of God by providing a space of friendship, wonder and hope.

Transformative Hospitality

We have spent over 20 years sharing whatever spaces we have been given, large or small; engaging individuals and families in the gift of feeling home. Love and friendship, food and conversation, and open hearts and doors have made this possible. We have seen countless friends, family and strangers leave refreshed, refocused and encouraged. A simple evening has often and beautifully changed people’s lives.

Transformative hospitality acknowledges that regardless of their background or level of influence, all people desire to be known and to know whom they belong to. Sometimes the best way to access the answers to these deep desires comes from an atmosphere that can only be described as ‘Home’. From a place deep in our hearts, we love providing home to others. As time passes, and the need grows, we believe we will someday have a place where we can touch more lives by providing a bigger and better space to encounter the truth and beauty of God.

We have longingly thought of how wonderful it would be to have the honor and responsibility of stewarding a place with history, texture and beauty. Our ultimate dream is to find a permanent place where we will expand our ability to bring people into our home; invite our guests into an atmosphere of loving, home-style, Holy Spirit guided hospitality which allows for genuine relationship, confidential conversation and an atmosphere that lends to encounter with God.

We have big dreams and wonderful hopes for the future. What will be the timing or how it all unfolds? Only God knows!

Adventure Awaits!

While this backstory and our big dream has shaped what Radiate International is, and who we are as a family, we recognize that the our story is nothing short of an adventure.

Next chapter: Norway!

“I wish I had time to tell you even a few of the tales or one or two of the songs that they heard in that house. All of them, the ponies as well, grew refreshed and strong in a few days there. Their clothes were mended as well as their bruises, their tempers and their hopes. Their bags were filled with food and provisions light to carry but strong to bring them over the mountain passes. Their plans were improved with the best advice.”
