Their thoughtful gift of grape plantings, fall mums, and a financial donation speaks volumes about the strength of our community. We are deeply humbled and grateful for this support, which inspires us to continue thriving together.

As we celebrate Evianna, our very first graduate, we joyfully welcome two new ladies into our program. They have eagerly embraced the gardens, working alongside our dedicated friend and volunteer, Mrs. Ginger. Just as the farm teaches us about the cycles of life, so too does God reveal His perfect timing and plans for each of us. We simply need to trust and follow His guidance. We are immensely grateful for your love, support, and prayers over these past 10 months, and we look forward with excitement to the wonderful future He has in store.

Good morning !
Life on the farm has been super busy, but we couldn’t wait to share some updates with you! We’re feeling so grateful for all the blessings this ministry has brought from our hard work.

Say hello to our new duck friends, Daphney and Daisy! Our newest brood of 10 chicks is growing up so quickly, and the chickens are absolutely loving their frozen summer treats and their pool, especially on these hot days.

We are seeing the fruit of our labor literally with our crop of watermelon, cantaloupes and more.

Although it's still summer, we've started our seedlings for fall goodies like brussel sprouts, pumpkins, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and lettuce. By the way, would you be interested if we grew collards for you? Let us know by commenting here.

Independence Day is such a wonderful time for us to celebrate both our earthly and spiritual freedoms! It’s a special moment to think about the freedoms we’ve gained through the Declaration of Independence and to give thanks for the incredible freedom we find in Christ.

**Celebrating Earthly Freedom:**
On the Fourth of July, we remember the brave men and women who fought for the independence of our country. We express our heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices they have made to give us all the many freedoms we have today

**Embracing Spiritual Freedom:**
The real essence of freedom comes from knowing Jesus Christ. As John 8:36 says, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” This beautiful freedom lifts us from the burdens of sin, guilt, and condemnation, letting us experience grace and forgiveness every day.

**Living Out Our Freedom:**
This Independence Day, let’s not only celebrate the freedoms we have but also commit to living in a way that reflects the love and grace of Christ. Let’s shine our light in the world, sharing the amazing news of freedom and forgiveness with those who are still feeling trapped.

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for the freedoms we enjoy in our nation and for the precious freedom found in your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to honor your sacrifice with our lives and spread your love to everyone around us. May we be a source of hope and freedom in a world that truly needs your grace.
In Jesus' name…Amen.
