Showing Hospitality

Did you know that the Bible commands us to show hospitality? It’s true!

Hebrews 13:2 – “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”

1 Peter 4:8-10 – “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

Daniel and I are both introverts, and as such, having people over or taking the time to visit with friends is not something that comes naturally to us. One of the things that we want to do is have more people in our home so that we can minister to them here. We also are praying about very specific ways that we can be a light in our new neighborhood, and an example of Christ’s mercy to us.

I will be sharing some of the different ways we are incorporating hospitality and evangelism into our lives in this section of our website. May it be an inspiration to you as you reach out in your own community and social circles!

Welcome to Our Urban Farmstead! We are Daniel and Courtney Shevchenko. Our goal is to become as self-sufficient and sustainable as possible on our 1-acre urban neighborhood lot before moving on to bigger pastures.

We will be sharing our home renovation projects, the making of our mini-farm, boondocking tips and tricks, and other snapshots of the various adventures we experience in our day-to-day life on our farmstead.

We hope that this site will be a blessing and encouragement to you. Have a question? Feel free to email us. 🙂
