Hi all,
I'm new to this site and being a Christian, conservative living in the country but being in a very liberal state (Oregon) have found it very difficult to find like minded conservatives for preparing for survival while serving the Lord Jesus. Liberals are becoming increasingly hateful and intolerant to anyone Christian or conservative. I've put up local ads and 99% of the responses are from people who smoke pot or are unreliable in some way and many of the people I have come across seem to be very liberal minded and hostile to Christians.
I have a good chunk of some pasture and wooded land in the coastal mountains forest and hope to find someone who has an RV or trailer and would like to find a rent free, off grid spot to setup on. It has good fertile land, a 2000 sq ft garden spot, goats, a barn, a chicken coop, two year round creeks with mountain spring water. The area is abundant with elk, deer salmon, and other wildlife. Please pray that the Lord would send a person or family who loves Jesus and are ethical, honest, and reliable. I moved out here about 4 years ago to escape the partying and noise in the local city, but now feel very isolated and all alone, just wondering what the Lord would have me do. I have to think there are others out there wanting to escape Babylon. I read so much, even on here, about the $20 trillion debt and likelihood of some economic collapse getting closer every day. Its hard to take care of my farm all on my own and be able to prep at the same time. If I had some help from good people who need a safe place it would be such a blessing. Thanks All!

First off, welcome aboard.
Second, a prayer that you find an acceptable person or family.
Lastly, someone you trust with your life - and that's what you're doing - needs to be more than somebody you met yesterday. Those type of people are family and close friends. I'm sure there are some good Christian folks out in your neck of the woods, there always are out on the rural route. Find a church you are comfortable with, make friends and go from there.

brik, If you're not a member already, you might introduce yourself and your plans at www.survivalistboards.com/ Be careful, there are a lot of nutcases out there who'd jump at the chance to take advantage of an open hearted person.

Brik, I am a bit concerned you may find somebody you are really NOT looking for. Please be VERY careful! At the risk of sounding presumptuous, any ad you run is like broadcasting the fact that you are alone and vulnerable, and there are a world of folks out there seeking exactly THAT, and not for good reasons at all.
If I were you, I would try to leave the impression that you have a spouse, maybe without exactly saying it, until you have at least met your perspective helper. You could also state what is expected of your perspective "tenant" in your advertising and request references and a first meeting at the cop shop to get the person a clear record ON record.
Prob'ly you have better instincts than I do about people, but my knee-jerk default position is mistrust, and so far it has been well-founded. You make it sound a bit as though you are advertising for a friend, which is the kind of ad usually answered by Satan or one of his minions.
Truly sorry, I am not trying to make this harder than it is, and I know it is hard enough. Just please think it through......Joe

Welcome, brik, glad you're here. Yeah, I'm with the folks who caution you against being open hearted and open armed toward anyone who would come help. We live out in the boonies, and we get some really bizarre folks out here, wanting to Live Off the Land. Not saying Nick and I aren't weird - we are - but we also have a fair enough grasp of reality, and we don't victimize the vulnerable. If you find someone who looks like a good prospect, do a background check. It's a small investment that could save your very life.

Thank you all, I know what you are all saying about needing to be cautious as there are a lot of bad people out there who lie and deceive. I've learned how to better screen them now with God's grace and wisdom. We are to be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves according to the Word.
