“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” — Revelation 18:4 (KJV)
Are you convinced that God is calling His people to prepare—but you are unsure where to begin, how to find affordable land, how to establish essential resources, or how to make an orderly transition to country living?
To the Country and Live: The Country Living Preparation & Resource Super Guide was created to help turn conviction into practical action.
Published by There Are People Ministries, this 39-page printable guide brings together the biblical call to come out of the cities, counsel from Ellen G. White on country living, and practical information for families seeking to prepare responsibly and systematically. It addresses acquiring land, establishing food and water resources, power, equipment, family cooperation, and even establishing worship and ministry from a country property.

The Five Keys to Preparation
The guide emphasizes five interconnected priorities:
1. Conversion — A heart fully surrendered to Christ.
2. Country Living — Moving out of the cities and onto the land.
3. Resources on the Property — Food, water, seed, power, and tools.
4. Effective Evangelism — Working the cities from country outposts.
5. Helping Others — Preparing not merely for ourselves, but to serve people in need.
Who Is This Guide For?
This resource is especially suited for individuals, couples, families, churches, small groups, and ministry teams who are serious about biblical preparation, country living, self-supporting principles, stewardship, sustainability, and helping others.
The central message is simple: preparation is not panic. Preparation should be prayerful, practical, orderly, and rooted in obedience to God. As the guide states:
“Let all things be done decently and in order.” — 1 Corinthians 14:40
