Aaron & Erin Brackett serve as the current House Directors. Their vision for the Travis Hospitality House is to create a thriving, welcoming environment where military members and their families hear the good news of Jesus, experience belonging and encouragement, and receive spiritual care amid an often-unpredictable lifestyle.

As the ministry continues to grow, Cadence has an opportunity to better equip the property to serve the increasing number of military families coming through our doors. The previous kids’ program space had to be torn down because it was an unpermitted structure with deteriorated, unsafe wood. As word spreads about the hospitality house, the Bracketts want to be ready to welcome entire families and avoid turning children away due a lack of adequate space. The Northern California climate enables them to utilize outdoor spaces for much of the year, creating tremendous potential for fellowship, recreation, and ministry.

We are seeking financial support for a 12’×20′ covered gathering space with lights, fans, and furniture ($18,500–$22,000), a dedicated kids’ space ($45,000-$50,000), a low-maintenance replacement pergola ($5,000–$9,000), and a sand volleyball court ($5,000–$7,000). These improvements are not simply about making the property nicer; they are about creating more opportunities to welcome members of the military community, build meaningful relationships, strengthen families, and provide a consistent place of belonging where the message of the gospel can be shared with those who serve at Travis AFB.

If this project is canceled for any reason or if excess funds are raised, any remaining balance will be used to further the ministry of Cadence International. The local ministry raising funds for this project will be given first consideration. 

This Year’s Focus: Travis Hospitality House

Travis Hospitality House has been a beacon of hope for the Travis AFB military community for over 50 years. This property was purchased by Cadence in 1973 under the direction of one of the mission’s founding couples, Tom and Dotty Hash.

Aaron & Erin Brackett are the current directors. Their vision for the Travis Hospitality House is to create a thriving, welcoming environment where military members and their families experience stability, belonging, encouragement, and spiritual care amid an often-unpredictable lifestyle.

As the ministry continues to grow, Cadence has an opportunity to make the property better equipped to serve the increasing number of military families coming through our doors. Our previous kids’ space had to be torn down because it was an unpermitted structure with deteriorated, unsafe wood, leaving us with room for only about seven children. As word spreads about the Hospitality House, we want to be ready to welcome entire families—not turn children away because we lack adequate space. Our Northern California climate also allows us to utilize outdoor spaces for much of the year, creating tremendous potential for fellowship, recreation, and ministry.
