The signs are clear: rising inflation, food insecurity, urban unrest, and economic instability are intensifying. Governments and global systems are shifting rapidly. As prophecy unfolds, the call to “flee the cities” (see Ellen G. White, Country Living) is becoming more urgent. Yet, many still wait, unsure or unprepared to make the leap.

Buying Country Property Without the Market
Rather than competing in the open market where bidding wars and inflated prices are common, there are alternative methods for acquiring land that are often overlooked:
Direct Owner Connections: By seeking out private landowners who are not currently listing but open to selling, buyers can find opportunities that are fair and mutually beneficial.
Faith-Based Networks: Many Seventh-day Adventist and Christian communities maintain internal networks where land can be shared or sold among trusted members, prioritizing mission over profit.
Ministry and Agricultural Outreach: Properties tied to small ministries, rural homesteads, or community farms may offer land at reduced rates for those who share their vision of faith-based stewardship.
Creative Purchase Models:
Owner financing
Lease-to-own arrangements
Donations for tax deductions (in some charitable contexts)
These strategies often allow buyers to bypass realtor fees, high competition, and long closing delays, and they often open doors to more peaceful, mission-aligned transactions.
Now is the moment to step forward in faith:
Don’t wait for the market to favor you—circumvent it.
Don’t try to go alone—build together.
Don’t hesitate—prepare in prayer and act with wisdom.
If you're ready to explore off-market options, consider buying land as a group, or want to learn how to strategically relocate, Rob McClintock is here to help guide your journey with integrity, skill, and spiritual insight.
