In 2010 they bought a home on three acres and in 2011 they opened Heavn Sent Redding (pictured), a retreat centre for missionaries and church workers. Here they hosted guests from over 45 different countries who came and enjoyed a time of rest and restoration. Greg and Barb returned to Canada in 2012 and relocated to Victoria to be closer to their children. Looking to the future and wanting more time with their grandchildren, the property and home in Redding was sold in December 2018.
Recently, the second phase of their original dream was rekindled, their desire to help vulnerable children and reduce poverty. In January 2020 they traveled to Kenya and re-established relationships with pastors they had met previously. With these friendships rekindled, a new direction for Heavn Sent Ministries was defined around reducing poverty in single parent families and furtherance of the gospel.

Greg and Barb are self-supporting so all donations raised go directly to these projects in communities they support.
