They were for a while, then they moved to to Missouri, I believe, then they were closed. The people who managed them after Brother Roloff weren’t like him, for the worse.

I stayed for a year in the Bethesda Home for Girls in Hattiesburg MS, and it was one of the best years of my life. I’ve often wished I could retreat to it again when I’m fed up with the escalating, openly celebrated sin of this world.

I often heard Brother Roloff preach in person, and though he’s often held up as an example by younger fundamentalists as not being an expository preacher, all I can say is that they must not be very familiar with the majority of his sermons. He most certainly could go off on some rabbit trails, but he was aware of this tendency and kept it in check. He loved the Bible and was too immersed in it to stray very far very often. The only time he got “political” was when he was fighting to keep from being forced to be licensed by the state.

God bless you and all you come in contact with ... may He use you.

We had difficulty with our oldest daughter and at the advice from our pastor (and a lot of research .. Rolloff among that research .. around 1995 ) we decided on Hephzibah House in Indiana

You are a valuable testimony
