Sharing the gift of Mount Hermon with family and friends is a natural occurrence among those of us whose lives have been impacted here. Well, that is exactly how Brunhilda “Bruni” Wald learned of this safe-haven in the redwoods, from her friends, Wolf and Vera Neumann, long-time Associates, Redwood Society members and Mount Hermon champions.

Wolf shares how it came about–

“We met Bruni and her husband, Helmut at our church. When Helmut fell ill, she took care of his needs but eventually admitted him to a home where she visited him daily. We prayed with both of them and visited several times, which formed the friendship.

After his passing, we wondered how Bruni would manage all by herself. But God gave her the strength and necessary health. We simply include her into our ‘outings to Mount Hermon,’ – something all three of us look forward to and enjoy! For us Bruni is family! Seeing how much she enjoys the concerts and various activities has been a tremendous blessing to us. You just can’t out-give the Lord.”

Bruni first came to Mount Hermon in 2012 and soon after became an Associate, then part of the Redwood Society, and now she is a regular in these redwoods. She sent a note to me recently and I asked for permission to share a little with you.

“…My special love is Mount Hermon and I’m so thankful to Wolf and Vera for taking me along. The Lord is in Mount Hermon. For me, it’s a special place. I am thinking of you and praying for you. Love, B”

It’s people like Bruni, Wolf, Vera and you that make our Associates family so special. Thank You for standing alongside us on this journey as we see lives transformed at Mount Hermon.
