Before you read further; consider this. We strive to live Holy and righteous lives before God and our neighbors. We have a good reputation with those in the world about us. We do not hold to the theology of "sin we must". We believe, as did the early Church, that our Savior Jesus came and died to free us from sin, not "in sin". Amidst all the theologies that abound most have compromised with the world, seeking it's approval, thinking they are still in Gods Way. That is for the Father to decide. We wish to live obedient lives, separated from all that encumbers our witness. This is what is lacking and is the reason for the Church of Jesus Christ being so lack-luster and , frankly, dead!

SHILOH (Haushaben) COMMUNITY
1653 Kingman Road
Kingman, Maine 04451
Moral decay, Uncertain times, Crime, Drugs, Teen pregnancy, Abortion, Stock market plunge,
Oil crisis, Wars and more Wars, Food shortages, Job losses, Terrorism, Liberalism,
...This is not the past,...It's the present...and if we do nothing...IT WILL BE
OUR FUTURE ! (and that of our children and grand-children too!)
Let us remember Elijah; how in obedience to Gods urging, preached repentance to the
people and they, in response, egged on by the learned priests, sought to kill him.
And he hid in a cave!, defeated and discouraged. God came to him and said,
"stand up ,make yourself ready and go back down the hill, for there are thousands
of my people who HAVE NOT BOWED THEIR KNEE TO WICKEDNESS."
Here is a quote from the book "Henry and the Great Society" by H.L.

SHILOH CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY in Kingman, Maine
Haushaben is a vision for "End Times" community based on the standards and beliefs of the
Early Church and the Anabaptist restorationists of 500 years ago, (AMISH, MENNONITES and
HUTTERITES). Our first community, called SHILOH, is located in northern Maine. It is a working
farm in progress, including a 96' greenhouse! We grow most of our food ( all organic). So,
Haushaben is the vision, SHILOH COMMUNITY is the first fruit of that vision!
"What a testimony it would be to see Believers living in the midst of a godless society,
yet untangled in it's net; to see them quietly pursuing the necessities of life, but aloof from
the madness of desire that characterizes our time; to see them at peace with God and each
other and unspotted by the world around them; to see them content with just the necessities
of life and possessed of an ability to find peace and happiness in the simple things of life...
PLAIN - ANABAPTIST, (1st century Church)- RADICAL HOLINESS
We seek singles, couples, (children too); seniors including those brothers and sisters with handicaps. Come visit and see for yourself if this is what God is calling you to. We all work as able and the men always "Do the Dishes". We believe, as did Eberhard Arnold, that "WORK IS LOVE MADE VISIBLE". So call, arrange a visit and work with us in the fields,the shops and kitchen, (We won't charge you for your stay, nor pay you for your work...here, we are truly all brothers and sisters ). Lastly, let us be clear about an issue that divides and saddens untold numbers of sincere Christians...the issue of divorce and remarriage! We DO accept such as brothers and sisters , feeling the issue of separation from loved- ones is as painful for them (and us), as was the issue that confronted King Solomon.

not conformed, but transformed by the renewing of their minds in Jesus Christ...
loving mankind around them, and living in the genuine demonstration of that love...
this is the kind of preaching that will open hearts to hear from our mouths
the WORD OF GOD." (page 116 )

For 7 long years or so, my wife and I have labored, not in vain, but with heavy hearts. This simple book offers such simple
wisdom for those who read and heed it. However, like the words (commands) of Jesus, it is too simple, and like Jesus offer of
a life free from sin and bondage, we simply say, " what nice words" and put it on the shelf!
HAUSHABEN, a German word meaning "to have a house or home". During the period 500 years ago known as the Reformation, Anabaptists used this word as a sort of password to identify safe refuge from the cruel persecution dealt to them by Roman Catholics and Protestants alike. Anabaptists believed that the Church needed restoration back to the early Church.

"CHRISTIANITY FOR THE REST OF US...
Come see...we're building a demonstration plot for witness and Christian Living in the 21st century
Christians, the answer is simple! As did the early Church ,Jesus wants us to separate
ourselves from the sinful society around us. Do nothing and you WILL lose all. What could be
more simple than to follow the commands of our loving Savior and dare to live His teachings
NOW?
...." the little guys; the people who sit in the pews; who don't have
fancy degrees; who pay our taxes and send our children to fight in
wars that our paid-pastors tell us are okay, ( even though Jesus
said we're supposed to love our enemies).
We send our children to the public schools we pay for , yet have
little say-so as to what is taught and how it's taught...as a
consequence, the innocence of boys and girls is turned into a God
mocking attitude that disrespects Jesus and parents alike!
The early Church ,(that turned the world upside down), would yell to
us 21st century believers "COME OUT OF BABYLON, LEST WE
and our children, PERISH IN IT'S DEFEAT".
REVELATION 18: 4
CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
We are called by God to separate ourselves from this evil generation and
to live together in such a manner as to be an actual VISIBLE example of
the Kingdom of God here on earth!
The world system is exposed for what it is...the work of satan. Our jobs
are"out-sourced " around the world; the economy is collapsed because of
the greed of the rich; we lose our jobs and then our homes; health care
reform includes death counseling to urge the elderly to die;...Christians,
away from this mess we must seek peace and security together as
Gods people did when the Church was young (Acts 4: 31-35)
...a few of us have gathered on a small farm
in northern Maine. We invite you to come see
and dream and work with us...
STAND UP
Christians, Come out and stand
up ,for Now Is The Time of
Salvation
SHILOH COMMUNITY is a place of haven from this dying world; a place where the Holy Spirit, manifesting ALL of
His gifts, can heal the wounds you've received from the world. A place where Christians can gather in victory over ALL
sin and satan. A place where we all work together; no titles, no bosses...ONLY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
A place with no property; where all is shared in common as did the early Church and Anabaptists.
A place where man-made doctrinal differences fade away as we work and pray and dream together...and
acknowledge how the early Church dealt with such issues. As we strive to live as "the clouds of witnesses" above did,
imitating them as
Paul said, and find that we too "can turn this present world upside down!"
Simple Living...Lives of Prayer...Wholesome Work...Brotherhood, 24/7...All Things held in
Common...Mutual Support...A Place Where Our Children Are Allowed To Be Children
PROJECT
We suffered a bad fire on Sept 5th. We lost our big barn, chicken barn, part of our 96'
greenhouse and one third of our farmhouse! After the initial shock of watching the fire
consume so much, we cried to our Father and have peace.
Friends and neighbors are helping with the clean up and have provided us with a place
to live and clothing and shoes, food etc. Our God is so good. We look forward to the
lessons He is teaching us
Today, 1/14/10, WE HAVE MOVED BACK HOME! 207 765-2068, thanks for your prayers!!
Our computer will be in the "HOSPITAL" for maybe some weeks. All inqiuries will have to be
made via phone or by postal service ,as our ability to receive e-mail shall be curtailed...so much
for computers...!
