Hello to those who are seeking places of safety here in the UK.
I have been reading through many of the posts in this forum. It is interesting to read the comments, warning against openly advertising locations. I also see comments on warning to not be gullible.
I agree to an extent with both trains of thought. We do need to be careful. Yet, at the same time, this forum is a place to connect. From there we trust the Lord to lead us, regardless of which nation we live in.
I am personally very much aware, that the Lord will direct the paths of those who earnestly seek Him for directions. When the time is right, the Lord will do this thing. At the same time, we need to make ourselves ready. Wolves in sheep's clothing, also comes to mind. I do believe the enemy, will also seek to infiltrate the camp, as he so often does.
Where will these places of refuge be established? I cannot say, only that the Lord will do it.
As for my wife and I and another couple whom we have become great friends with, are open books. We have got together, though we are a big distance from one another and shared ideas and thoughts about practical things to consider.
We have crossed over the line of " if the Lord wants to do this ", to now where and when. The UK, doesn't really offer tracks of land as vast as in some other nations, like the USA and in Africa. But sufficient enough, to hide in safety, not necessarily in comfort.
Our weather conditions here in the UK will prove to be challenging.
I mentioned in another post, we mostly all have different ideas on where the church will be when things become really difficult and challenging. I believe we will be right where we need to be at the time. Will we be fixed to one location? I believe, yes and no. This is why I refer to " places " of refuge scattered across the nations. Fleeing from one place to another probably will be our way of life.
The devil will chase after what is God's to persecute them, even to put them to death.
Living in the last of days, is not going to be a walk in the park.
Anyway, if you are interested in sharing thoughts , please get in touch. Blessings
Hello Marta, are you still around in the Midlands. I see your post is from 3 years back. Have you come across something yet, if not, are you still looking.
Hello all of you who are expressing an interest in safe havens / places of refuge etc.
Would we all consider doing an agreed venue chat call on an available platform. I used to do Facebook, but no longer. I don't use WhatsApp either, as it is owned by Facebook. There is an app called Signal, where live video calls and texts can be done.
I understand folks have varying perspectives on places of refuge / safe havens. There are existing Christian communities in the UK, but not sure of their purpose. Places of refuge, as I understand will be established for end time purposes, for provision for believers seeking safety from persecutions etc. Needless to say, I believe the church is going to be present when things become really difficult. What need then would there be for safe havens / places of refuge. Those interested in these things, would you be kind enough to respond with some ideas on how we can connect and establish friendships to the possibility of this end.
i can confirm signal dont work on windows, i tried, and i contacted them....they are developing a windows version, but that could take many months, so not an option for me at present.
Hi Malcom, I have Signal also on my laptop which is Windows 11 and it works really well. The only thing is, you need to have your mobile device nearby, but other that that, it works great.
i will tell you again. i dont have an android phone. nor do i use win 11. assume signal wont work on 2g mobiles ......phone is for emergencies and txt only.
Hello my wife and I live in Market Drayton in Shropshire in the Midlands. We are just outside Stoke on Trent. We believe in what we call places of refuge for provision in these end times. Would be really great to catch up with other believers in Christ.
Hello Sophie, hope you are well. We would really love to meet up with you, no pressure 😆. If you would like to contact Seeety Jones, she can give you the details. We can do a zoom meet on another day without having to wait for a Sunday .
Sounds great. If you don't mind downloading Signal, we have a group already titled places of refuge, where two other friends are on. They live down in Chichester. Yes, the Lord's timing is perfect.
Our friends, Mike & Alex, and ourselves have discussed various scenarios concerning safe havens. I will send you both my wife's number and mine and we can connect via Signal. Signal is a really good end to end encryption platform that is not owned by your big tech organisations. Not that I am promoting Signal 😁 my number is 07485136895 and Trish's number is 07825238382.
The Lord said Wales to me through a sister in New Zealand. I asked for confirmation. My landlord wants his house back. I feel that is where I will move very soon.
@Sweety Jones yes :) I'm looking to get a place up North on small funds in addition to where I'm staying- hoping that it could be a stop gap if needed. Places that need work etc.
an example of some useful gear to get hold of. prob from uk source.

As mentioned in my posts I live in Wiltshire, its not too far from the Midlands - I used to live there too.

facebook.com/groups/534860085120568
I recommend this chap, for latest news from uk. He has his finger on the pulse. https://youtu.be/k7hYoIGlaHQ
possible to create something in the north, as there are alot of wild open areas. moorland etc.
Although building in a national park area is a problem.

Could I connect with you for meeting on zoom or phone? I live in Leicester UK.

That sounds great and very sensible :)
I am so used to travelling and moving to new locations that I feel like a nomad at times! lol
Are you used to it too?
Likewise :)
Wow.. I've never been to Hampshire but sounds a lovely place :)
Before I decided to live in Wiltshire I previously lived in Birmingham so I have moved around a bit but it looks like we both have actually! lol..
Hello. Good to hear from you. I'm based in Kent but stay in Hampshire sometimes. I'm from Derbyshire originally :)
Hi. I'm interested in talking about this too.
