Who are we?
We are the hosts and founders of Whispering Cedars. God called us to start this ministry In May of 2022. Everything we do is focused on serving, encouraging and inspiring Christian leaders. Pastors and missionaries need to put effort into keeping their relationship with God and their spouses strong. Our purpose is to make that easier. We encourage guests to remove themselves from the rush, relax, be still before God and rest in Him.
Whispering Cedars
Whispering Cedars provides a place where those serving in Christian ministry can find rest, relaxation, refreshment, Spiritual renewal, and respite in an environment that promotes stillness before the Lord to hear His gentle whisper. We offer a clean, quiet place to stay as well as being available to those with ministry hurts, experiencing ministry burnout, trauma, or just needing a neutral listening ear in a safe environment free of judgment and expectation. All of this is provided free of charge to our guests.
ACI, International is the organization that we partner with to receive donations for the ministry of Whispering Cedars. ACI, Int. provides financial, administrative and accountability services for those who are living their commitment to fulfilling the Great Commission through missions work.

Celebrations
Join us as we celebrate all God is doing in and through Doug and Bernadette with Whispering Cedars.
This past year Whispering Cedars hosted 18 missionaries and pastors. Their stays ranged from one night to 21 days. We've hosted missionaries from as far away as Russia. We are grateful that each of our guests have commented on how refreshed and encouraged they were after staying here.
From some guests:
“Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality! You have truly made Whispering Cedars a place of rest and comfort. You are both very appreciated! You have a wonderful ministry! God bless you both and your continued ministry!” ~Craig and Danielle
“Bernie and Doug were people of peace in a place of peace when we most needed it. Their gracious hospitality was beyond all expectations. In a time when personal demands and ministry need were at an all-time high and the warfare was great, they provided just the right atmosphere for the Lord to speak. We leave with renewed hope. The Kingdom of God is evident in this place.” ~Steve and Karen

How Can We Help?
The ministry of Whispering Cedars relies solely on the financial gifts from individuals and churches. With the rise in the cost of everything, we would greatly appreciate more people to partner financially in this ministry.
