Our Mission
To create a place where individuals are healed up, freed up, filled up so they can go up into purpose and destiny.
Traveler's Rest Stop was born from more than a vision. It was born from a journey.
Ann Kittle understands what it means to walk through rejection, hurt, brokenness, and the process of healing. Through her own journey with the Lord, she discovered that the wounds of the past do not have to determine the future.
For more than 20 years, Ann has carried a desire to create a place where people can be loved, supported, healed, and given the time they need to rebuild their lives.
Her experience in ministry, counseling, and working with individuals facing trauma and difficult life circumstances helped shape the heart of Traveler's Rest Stop.
Her desire is simple:
To create a place where people are healed up, freed up, filled up, so they can go up into purpose and destiny.
For Ann, Traveler's Rest Stop is more than an organization.
Traveler's Rest Stop was born from a simple belief:
People need more than a place to survive. They need a place where they can heal.
We believe lasting change happens when people are given Grace, Truth, and Time - grace to meet them where they are, truth to help them move forward, and time to heal and grow.
At Traveler's Rest Stop, we don't just look at what someone has done or where they have been.
We care about what happened to them, who they are becoming, and where they are going.
Our mission is to create a place where individuals are:

Traveler's Rest Stop is being built on a vision that no one should have to walk the journey of healing alone.
At Traveler's Rest Stop, we call those who walk through our doors Travelers because where you are today is not your final destination.
You may have experienced trauma, loss, rejection, addiction, broken relationships, or other struggles - but what happened to you does not define who you are or where you are going.
What's happened to you is where we begin to walk with you to healing.
HEALED UP
Healing the wounds of the past.
FREED UP
Breaking free from what has kept you bound.
FILLED UP
Growing spiritually, emotionally, and practically.
Moving forward into purpose and destiny.
You were created for more than survival.
You were created to thrive.
You don't have to walk the journey alone.
We are honored to walk with you.
Take a breath, settle in, and get ready to be loved.
