About Us
eithil khor-gøra
Eithil Khor-Gøra is a family-run homestead in the heart of the mountains with a unique way of living. Our name describes who we are and what we stand for.
Eithil
“Springs/Issuing of water”. (John 7:37-38)
37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’” – Amplified Bible
Our Values
Our homestead is situated on a mountainside between two springs, so the first part of our name reflects our geographic location, as well as our spiritual alignment. We believe that Jesus Christ is our redeemer, and He is our living water. (John 7:37-38)
Khor
“To begin/Put in motion/Urge on”. The second part of our name describes what we feel called to do, our mission in life. (Matthew 28:18-20)
18 Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.” – Amplified Bible
Our Values
We feel that God has placed on our hearts discipleship and apprenticeship. We would like to open our home and lives to share them with fellow believers who would like to come and learn homesteading and crafting skills, as well as practical and biblical Christian living. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Gøra
“To offer/Give/Make/Build/Create/ Write/Compose/Make a story of/Act/ Do/Become/Happen”. The third and final part of our name is a very broad historical word, which elaborates on the things that flow out from who we are and what we do. (Colossians 3:23-24)
23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve. – Amplified Bible
Our Values
We are passionate about a simple way of life with values and methods that date back to before our current time (post-industrial revolution). Our construction methods, artisan crafts, lifestyle, homesteading, and all our activities are tied to what we believe. (Colossians 3:23-24)
