Cruising over the pond

Meet The Need Ministry welcomes a new member of the wildlife at the main ministry campus.  A Great Blue Heron was spotted at the ministry pond.

Meet The Need Ministry has recently started a new requirement for  men joining the program.  The new men are required to stay at one of the three homes near the farm for the first 30 days.  During that month Pastor Dean and Rick minister to the new guys and have daily intense fellowship in a one-on-one setting.  Once Dean and Rick feel like they have a firm grasp on where they need to guide an individual they come up with a “Spiritual Growth Plan”.  The plan includes ways to overcome the mans strongholds through the Word of God.  Pastor Bob Vann’s curriculum is studied intensely by the new men on a day in day out basis.

The new men also have a great opportunity to learn new skills that will broaden their spectum for future endeavors.  One of the many opportunities they have is to work with Rene’ in his auto upholstery shop.  Rene’ has been doing auto upholstery for 30 years and is an expert in his trade.  The training the men receive from Rene’ is invaluable.  The men also are trained in gardening and crop cultivating by Steve Outland.  Steve is an professional landscaper, with 30 years experience, who currently owns his own landscaping business, Outlandscapes, which he uses to bless the ministry.
