Programme for men

Time

... alone with God
... together with like-minded people
... to get rid of burdens 
... to work constructively

 

For years now, young men have discovered the life-changing benefits of a time out at Kanaan. They come to seek God along with other men of like mind, to escape the demands of everyday living in order to find a new perspective.  Young men help with practical work at Kanaan. Both alone and together, they learn to study the Bible and to develop a regular routine of time spent with God. By sharing as a group and in private conversations with one of our brothers, they learn to grow spiritually. They develop new outlooks for their own journey with God, get rid of burdens and discover new opportunities. We often hear years later from men who spent time with us that their experience with the Kanaan Team was among the most important of their lives.

step in their walk with God.

 

Welcome to Kanaan - if you want to grow in your faith, to find God's will and plan for your life, or if you need some time out before making an important decision! At Kanaan we desire more than anything to love God with all our heart, strength, mind and spirit (see Matthew 22:37), and to put this into practice in community. We are happy to share from our own experiences of a life of faith and to encourage you to clean up your past and make a new start in a life with Jesus. We will help you as you learn to listen for yourself to God's voice so that you can discover His plan for your life and future.

Impressions of Kanaan

Caleb from Australia

For a long time I wanted to take time off to be away from it all with the Lord. When I finally got to Kanaan it was very refreshing, but also challenging! I highly recommend spending time there, especially if you want to discover Jesus in a new and deeper way.
The daily routine and structure was very helpful for me, but also something I was not used to. For example, there is a prayer every day at 3pm. At first I struggled with doing something every day at a certain time that I can't change or be late for. Some days I didn't feel like praying. Some days I just wanted to rest or keep working. But as time went on, I began to look forward to the 3 o'clock prayer. I began to see it as my special daily time with Jesus that no one could take away. Moments to reflect on the incredible thing HE did for me.
I began to discover Jesus in places I had never known before. For example, walking in the garden or reading good books. I didn't have those times with the Lord before. Now I have them and it has deepened our relationship.
I really liked working with Brother Pietro in the garden and getting to know his lifestyle, both spiritually and in everyday life. Gardening was so good for my mind and body and helped me reconnect better with the Lord.
Being able to take a step out of "normal" life was invaluable to me in hearing God's voice more clearly and helping me to better shape my future. I am so glad I was able to be at Kanaan and think back to my time there often.
