Sharat grew up in Dayton, OH. He graduated from an ivy league university and was working on Wall Street. You might think that he had it made. But Sharat was not satisfied, and prayed to be free, free to serve, free to love. Our God led him to the Basin Farm in Bellows Falls, Vermont, thinking that God's people would be on farms, if they existed. He also visited the Yellow Deli in Vista, California. He found his people, and the purpose he was created for.
We have had many visitors drop in for a few hours or arrange for extended visits. More than just simply looking for helpers in exchange for accommodations, our guests are alongside us and learning with us the deeper things of life. Usually, we arrange visits of 1 or 2 days, but, if you are really enjoying the rhythm of our life, an extended stay can be discussed. Contact the community directly you'd like to visit. We hope you will come spend some time with us!
The Twelve Tribes is a confederation of twelve worldwide self-governing tribes, made up of self-governing communities. We are disciples of the Son of God (whose name in Hebrew is Yahshua). We follow the pattern of the early church written in Acts 2:44 and 4:32, sharing all things in common. We believe everything that is written in the Old and New Covenants of the Bible.
