MIKE

Shepherd

Mike supplies the "man muscles" and spiritual leadership needed to keep the family farm ministry strong & healthy. He fulfills the roles of shepherd, prayer warrior, devoted husband & papa, captain of the wheel barrow, wood chopper, coal hauler, gardener, and "shrooner." Also, as part of his "God-call," Mike partners with the Lord to provide the financial resources through his day-job as a Transportation Coordinator & Dispatcher. His life verse is Psalm 16:8 . He is an especially gifted encourager and loving care-giver. Mike is a shepherd!

PLEASE PRAY & LIFT PRAISES TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ~Colossians 3:17

Please agree with us in prayer to Our Heavenly Father in Jesus' name regarding the following spiritual needs:

 

  • Continued guidance for God's direction in ALL things
  • Continued divine protection from the enemy
  • Discernment and wisdom as we serve our community
  • Continue to call & equip our leaders, staff and students for the work and receipt of the ministry of Jesus Christ
  • Continue to provide power & grace to love the Church & the world

 

We are also seeking the Lord for the following TFO Family Ministry material needs:

 

  • New barn roof
  • Supplies, materials & manpower for Barn/Stable repairs
  • Tractor & manure spreader
  • Indoor arena
  • Round pen panels
  • Hauling rig (3 or 4-horse trailer)
  • More volunteer "workers for the harvest"

 

We continually praise God for Who He is, The Great "I AM." We also praise Him for guiding us in our praying and for hearing our petitions. He is ALWAYS faithful to answer in His perfect time and in His perfect way!

IN MEMORY OF ROSCO

Sheep guard

Part Jack Russel Terrier, part Beagle, part comedian, Rosco patrolled the perimeter of the flock like a sentry. He was more suited for hunting, but when not chasing down the unwanted barn critters, he was quite content to follow Mike around and pretend to tend to the sheep. Rosco was hit by a car and passed away on Sunday, September 27, 2020. We certainly do miss you, little buddy!

IN MEMORY OF WILSON

Faithful Companion

Wilson found his retirement home at Too Far Out Farm in 2009. We welcomed this 16.5 hand Thoroughbred with great hopes of making him a star in our work with children and adults. He did not disappoint! We often called him "everyone's horse" because he was so easy to get along with and he loved to take care of all whom he encountered! Wilson was everyone's hero until he aged-out and passed away in October 2017. He is missed, but we are sure he and Rosco are enjoying their reunion in Heaven.
