The Emerald Place Dream

WHAT

After about a decade of leading Women's Healing/Freedom Retreats throughout the country through my business and ministry Emerald Glory Wellness, Father has prompted us to start praying for a home base. A YHWH-built, Yeshua glorifying, Holy Spirit-filled retreat center where we can invite people to gather to encounter Yeshua unto full victory in their lives. (Please visit www.emeraldglorywellness.com to see photos of one of the properties we are praying about, past retreat testimonies, and more!)

​

WHO

We don't accomplish our Kingdom work alone, but rather invite other strong believers and anointed leaders to minister and teach alongside us to set as many captives free in Jesus as possible! I have worked with some of my ministry partners for many years.

​

Emerald Place will host many events for many types of believers! From freedom retreats to holy day convocations, to bible studies, worship nights, prayer meetings, and more. 

WHY

In my years leading these retreats I have seen countless baptisms, healings, and deliverances, but the thing that I hear most often is how people felt SO LOVED for the first time in their lives. They come to encounter the love of the Father through Messiah, and they leave FOREVER changed into His likeness, ready to help set others free.

​

Having a center of our own would save overall costs, allowing us to offer more and more scholarships and lower ticket costs overall for attendees who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend. (Currently, we try to offer at least one scholarship for each retreat of 12-18 guests.)

​

Having a retreat space of our own would also allow us to go from hosting 2-3 events per year, to 4-6 or more, enabling even more people to be set free in Jesus!

​

EXPERIENCE

My (Sherri) experience is in inner healing, deliverance, bible teaching, end times, biblical medicine, and more, and my mission is to put all the tools that Messiah gave us to overcome the enemy, into the hands of as many believers as possible!

Randy and I have also led a Bible study each Shabbat for the last 3-4 years online, as well as gathering believers for the Feast of Tabernacles each year, and are so excited to create a home base for both and so much more!

​

THE PROPERTY

We are looking for a property that has the space to build out at least 5-8 additional bedrooms, with space for seating at least 20 comfortably around a huge dining table, as well as a beautiful worship gathering space, acreage for tent, and RV sites, a workshop for mentorship and classes, a living water pond and saltwater hot tub for baptisms, garden and foraging areas and more.

​

We are searching in rural Illinois about an hour or so Northwest of Chicago for proximity to the airports, and plan to live on site. We have a property currently in mind depending on the timeline that the funding becomes available.

​

COST

We estimate that the property, repairs, buildouts, furnishings, etc. will cost around $500,000 and are prepared to invest about $200,000-$250,000 of our own funds/financing to launch, in addition to any ongoing extras as we gather God's people for freedom in the years to come.

​

MINISTRY PLANS

We plan to host paid and free events year-round as the Father leads, and to make our home available for free for missionaries and ministers to come be refreshed as they travel as well. We praise Jesus for your consideration and are here to answer any questions!

​

INCENTIVES

A $25,000 or more donation earns you one free spot at every retreat or event you like starting in 2026 for as long as we are still hosting. (A $1300 value per retreat.) The donor may choose to send someone in their place at each retreat. 

If you would like to purchase an advance ticket to a 2026 women's retreat at Emerald Place for $1300 as your donation, please contact me before donating so we can work out the details!

THANK YOU!

May YHWH bless you in all you put your hand to.

Peace, joy, & healing,

Randy and Sherri Ohler
