As I think about the days we live in I understand why so many people become discouraged or find a lot to fear. I understand but I believe differently. You see I have hope. Hope that what Jesus said is true. I have hope that my daughter's generation and her children will take up the banner of Christ and right the wrongs my generation have done. The Jesus I worship is not a white God, He is not colored at all, He is the Creator and He does not cater to one race. This video is a good representation of the universal God and the hope I have in the next generation. My generation can get 80,000 to watch a football game in this dome but Jesus brought together 80,000 to worship Him.

PASSION 2012

Staying at Restoration Farm

 

Every now and then we get asked about what our fees for coming to stay at the farm. From the conception of the dream we have wanted to offer stays at Restoration Farm free for pastors, missionaries and wounded warriors. We do accept free will offerings to help cover the cost for providing meals to our guest

 

We will also offer free of charge marriage counseling and individual counseling. Any donations these folks would like to make will be gladly accepted.

Kat and I have been greatly blessed with the farm we have and God has given us certain gifts that we believe are to be used in service to others. We both currently work and will continue to work until our farm produces the income needed to replace our current jobs. Our goal is to one day be full-time farmers/counselors.

Here are the current ministries that we are involved in: 

1. On some Mondays I meet with other men to talk about the issues men face. These issues could involved any of the following: greed, pride, additions, loneliness, fear, anger, fatherhood, and the list goes on and on.

2. Kat and I lead a Lake Hills Community Church house group on Monday evenings that is held in the Gravois Mills area.

3. Kat and I lead a house group on Tuesday evenings that is held in the Versailles area.

4. We do private counseling with men or women who would like to make serious changes in their lives.

Each of these ministries have one goal in mind and that is Restoration. We believe there are three main areas people are seeking restoration in. 1. They want their relationship with God restored, 2. they want their relationship with their spouse, family, or others restored and 3. they want their emotional or spiritual wounds healed. In each of these areas he only way for restoration to be experienced is through a closer connection to the Holy Spirit.

Look at the above three photos that I have taken this year at Restoration Farm. One has a stormy sky, another a dreamy pond reflection and the third a blazing sunset. They all can reflect where we are in our lives and in the photo below is a representation of what brings us reconciliation with our Creator.
