And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush was burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.”
Exodus 3:2
Burning Bush Lodge was originally built as a commercial quail hunting facility in 1971. In 1980, Tommy Newberry went into full-time ministry as a Methodist minister. The Burning Bush was born out of two visions or revelations from our Lord. The first was while Tommy was on a mission trip to Mexico in 1980. What was then a hunting lodge would become ‘a Christian Renewal Center.’ Further instructions came in 1984.
This is MY place! I will keep it. It will be called Burning Bush…a place where My people, who are called by My name, can be called aside…like Moses…to hear from Me, and receive My instructions.
Burning Bush Ministries, Inc. was founded by Tommy and Ann Newberry in 1985 when 20 acres of land and the original hunting lodge was purchased in the northeastern portion of Early County, Georgia. Well, for 36+ years God has provided resources to do just that. Many of you have been faithful givers and you know how “The Bush” has touched many lives in many ways.
The lodge is available to churches and small groups for retreats, youth camps, vacation bible school, marriage enrichment weekends, church planning groups, prayer, father/son, mother/daughter retreats.
Burning Bush is staffed by volunteers.
