We are a Christian ministry focused on ministering to men with drug and alcohol addiction

12/16/2025

We are so appreciative of so many who have given items or financial donations to provide gift bags for our men this year for Christmas. Just a reminder that if you or your church group is planning to give towards these gift bags we need to receive your donation by this Friday, December 18th.

If you are giving financially online (foaministry.org) towards these gift bags please designate the gift for Christmas using the drop down menu. If you are wanting to donate items we still need skull caps, underwear, work gloves, undershirts, and basic sweatshirts (L-2XL).

We thank the Lord for His constant provision for the ministry of FOA each year and how He uses the body of Christ to provide for us.

A big THANK YOU to FBC Clinton for inviting our men to their Christmas program last night and allowing us the privilege of worshiping the Lord with you! Great program and wonderful music in remembering the incarnation of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

HOPE is not wishful thinking or a conjuring up of our imagination. HOPE has a name and His name is Jesus! We pray each of you knows the HOPE that only comes through faith in Jesus Christ.

This month marks 67 years since the ministry of FOA began in 1958. We are so thankful for the privilege to continue to minister God's Word every single day to the men the Lord brings our way so that they may know the transformational power of newness of life through faith in Jesus Christ. Only God can do the impossible of taking that which is dead and making us alive. Please continue to pray for our staff and our students and join with us in praising God for all He has done and will continue to do through this ministry.

We are looking for more egg cartons. If anyone in the area has any you can donate we would appreciate it. 12 or 18 egg cartons preferably. You can drop them by whenever. Thank you.

Also if you are interested in some farm fresh eggs from our chickens, our guys are at the end of our road (FOA Rd.) on Hwy 49 from around 2p every afternoon until they sell out.

We will be having our baptism service tonight at 6p. Thanks to Riverwood Bible Church for allowing us to use their church for this event. If you want to watch the service it will be carried on YouTube live. Just search Riverwood Bible Church.

We are having a baptism service at Riverwood Bible Church tomorrow night at 6p and have to transport all our guys over there. I still need 1 or 2 vehicles and drivers to help get all our guys over there. If you are in the area and would be willing to help, please let me know. We would be leaving our facility at 5:15 and probably back around 7:45p. Thank you

In our garden at FOA, our rows are 350 feet long. Needless to say when you are working a row it can get pretty discouraging if you keep looking up to see how much further you have to go. Instead, you just have to focus on what is right in front of you and doing the best job with the plant in front of you.

Many times in our lives we can get overwhelmed, fearful or anxious about what lies ahead or goals we want to accomplish. We want things to move faster, but the Lord is using each step to teach us and prepare us for what lies ahead. Don't spend so much time looking down the road that you miss out on what the Lord wants to do in you right now. His Word is a lamp unto our feet. Preparation is key to Christian growth.

Cultivation is essential for growth and fruit bearing. One part of cultivation is weeding so plants don't get choked out. The sooner those weeds can get pulled before they get rooted in strongly, the better. The weeds that are closest to the plant take the most time to remove. Some weeds like morning glories are beautiful but will choke out the plant if allowed to continue to grow...just ask anyone who was pulling corn with a machete in one hand last year.

We too can have weeds in our life trying to choke out our growth in the Lord. And the ones closest to our hearts are dealt with by the patient gardener of our lives...our Heavenly Father. Even the things that we hold up as beautiful sometimes have to be removed by Him for our growth and fruit bearing. But be confident of this, anything He removes has to go anyway. Let His Word pe*****te our hearts so that these weeds don't take strong roots in our lives.

It's that time of year again. Garden is planted and ready to cultivate. 6am garden call waking up with the sun and the beauty of God's creation. Cool mornings and peaceful. Stay tuned for upcoming life lessons learned in the garden!

We have baby chicks!!!!

If you would like any, we have week old barnyard mix chicks (Bielefelder, Black Copper Maran, Red Star, Easter Egger mixes) for $4 week old or $8 for 2 month old. Straight run. Call or message for availability.

We also have some 5 month old roosters ($5) if anyone is looking for some. They taste good too! And hatching eggs ($15/doz).

Chickens are everywhere and keeping us busy on the farm this spring. Thanks to Shae and Susan Whitfield and their family for helping us get started with chickens.

I think I mentioned in a previous post that we have started raising chickens at FOA. I'll try to get some of our chicken's pics posted soon (including baby chicks).

But what we are in need of right now is egg cartons. So if you are in the area and you usually throw those away we could definitely use them. 12 or 18 egg cartons that could be dropped off. Thanks so much!

Our circumstances will never change the character of God, but when we know God's character, those truths will definitely affect the way we walk through our circumstances.
