✨ Saving Grace Farm Ministry 2025 Year-End Newsletter ✨
Dear Saving Grace Farm Ministry Family,
As we look back over this year, our hearts are filled with gratitude and awe. God’s hand has been evident in every step of this ministry, and your faithful support has been a blessing beyond measure. Thank you for linking arms with us as we seek to Rescue, Redeem, and Restore the hearts of youth in Allen County. No matter what this year has held for each of us, we stand firm in knowing that our God is faithful, He is near, and He is working all things together for His glory.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.” Psalm 28:7
Ministry Highlights of This Year
God’s Vision Deepening
This year, the Lord has continued to clarify the heart of our mission to reach young people as well as veterans who feel lost, unseen, or broken. Through prayer, planning, and preparation, we are continuing to build a Christ-centered program designed to bring hope, healing, and transformation through the power of His love.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Psalm 147:3
Expanding Our Reach Through Events
God has opened beautiful doors for us, to share His love in the community:
-This Fall we visited Camp Roberts, playing games and offering facepainting while pouring into the youth and building relationships rooted in hope, encouragement, and the message of Christ’s redemptive love. We are blessed to be able to sponsor the youth for Christmas this year as well!
- We were featured in the Shawnee Life Magazine that was locally distributed.
- We were able to attend to Similar Ministry Conferences. One was at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch in Oregon, the other was at Wings of Hope in Virginia.
- We spoke at various organizations, boldly sharing the ministry’s calling and vision. Each opportunity connected us with new supporters, volunteers, and prayer warriors.
-We built and strengthened partnerships with churches, families, and local groups, each one affirming that this ministry has a purpose and place in our community.
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
Proverbs 16:3
A Beautiful Blessing — Our Donated Horse
One of our greatest joys this year was receiving the gift of a beautiful horse named Teddy, for the ministry. Teddy will play an incredible role in allowing young people/veterans to experience peace, trust, connection, and healing. We believe God will use Teddy as an instrument of calm in the lives of youth who desperately need a place to breathe again.
You can find more information on Teddy’s story at our website: www.savinggracefarmministry.com.
Still Searching for the Perfect Property
We are patiently seeking the place that God has set apart for us to operate from. A sanctuary where we may find refuge, peace, and spiritual renewal. With humble hearts, we invite you to join us in prayer, trusting in the Lord to open the right door at the perfect time. Our faith assures us that He is preparing the ideal land for us, and when He reveals it, we will clearly see His hand guiding every step of the way.
“For no word from God will ever fail.”
Luke 1:37
Building a Strong Foundation of Volunteers
Lori, our Volunteer Coordinator, has been actively conducting interviews with our potential volunteers. The Lord has blessed us with so many great volunteers with amazing gifts and talents. This winter, we are focusing on building and training a dedicated volunteer team. This season of preparation is holy ground, and we are grateful for everyone stepping into this calling.
Our goals include:
- Developing a spiritually strong, unified team
- Training volunteers for hands-on ministry/safety
- Establishing the foundation needed for long-term impact
We are trusting God to raise up the right people those called to serve, mentor, pray, and walk alongside the youth we will minister to. The Lord has been doing just that.
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Warm Holiday Blessings
As Christmas draws near, may you be deeply aware of the presence and peace of Christ dwelling within your soul and shining forth in your home. This sacred season calls us to remember that God's divine light breaks through all darkness, illuminating our lives with faith and hope. Jesus our eternal Savior, Redeemer, and Healer walks beside us, guiding us through every moment and blessing each step we take. May the love and grace of Christ fill you and your loved ones this Christmas, bringing joy, renewal, and abundant spiritual blessings.
