L’Abri is French for “the shelter”, and for over 60 years, L’Abri has created space for people of all different backgrounds and nationalities to receive honest answers to honest questions. Allowing people to engage in community, and pursue truth. L’Abri has served so many people regardless of faith or personal history, and desire to show them the love of Jesus Christ. People go to L’Abri for many different questions, some searching simply just to find if “truth” exists at all. There are people who go for faith related and non-faith related questions, looking to find answers and peace within them. L’Abri is a space that is solely dedicated to exploring these ideas, rooted in the firm belief that questions and problems regarding God and faith can be discussed rationally, without having to resort to a lead in the dark.

L’Abri has locations around the world and has a great reach for people no matter where they are located. For students who look to attend it is roughly $30-$46 a day and students can stay as long as they want. This is extremely affordable and allows for students to have a reasonably inexpensive cost of living. The diversity of locations allows for students to choose their stay that suits what they are looking for, often providing secluded areas that prevent distractions and allow those to focus on their personal growth. The L’Abri also has a daily routine that consists of study, work, rest, conversation and prayer. They strive at simplicity and offer the ability to converse with those who are well versed on the area of questioning.

I know two people that both went to Switzerland and stayed at L’Abri for many weeks. They both had great experiences and found answers to what they were searching for. The ability for people to go to a secluded area away from distractions of day to day life and technology is a great start for being able to focus on a question and pursue the answer. L’Abri is partially funded by the consumer and partially funded by donations from the community. What L’Abri is doing is changing lives one question at a time.
