In 2026 our focus shifted from the city to Sozo Valley Ranch. We relocated the ministry to 10195 Nokomis Rd. Mineral Point, Missouri and began building the infrastructure for the next phase of ministry. Two RV's were donated. On is a 40 foot Class A motor home and the other is a 37 foot fifth wheel trailer. Both are now located on the property and hooked up to utilities.

 

We had to replace the well pump in order to get water on the site. Mid year we were given the use of a John Dear tractor by the Grimm family. What a blessing and a much needed tool. We gathered some implements and got to work. The trails were mowed and the market garden was plowed. We now have our first crops in the ground. The garlic has been planted.

 

Mid year we started a Disciple Driven Church affiliate program to facilitate our missionary work overseas. After having over 600 students from 15 countries register for our online certification courses, we needed a way to continue coaching these leaders. After only two months now, we have our first international redemptive community in Nairobi, Kenya.

 

With temporary housing in place and the market garden started, we turn our attention to establishing local ministry in the Mineral Point area. Suzette and I are living on the property full time. We are trying to make some progress on rehabbing the existing house before the years end.

 

We want to thank everyone that has supported us in this huge project so far and invite others to join us in this worthwhile ministry.
