As I have mentioned before, an intricate part of the Set Free ministry is to have a discipleship “ranch” to take people to after they come in off the street. They would stay there sixty plus days. The property needs to be a good distance from town, but close enough for churches to help with Bible Studies and other volunteer ministries. An ideal location would have an old farm house and about 5 acres, either donated or have a reasonable long term lease. Please keep this in prayer and let us know if you know someone who could help with this.
Over spring break there was a lot accomplished at the set free house. A mission team of about 10 skilled carpenters came from Arkansas and did a lot of work. We now have heat, water and operable bathrooms. Many of the doors were hung and a lot of the trim and finishing work was done. Also we had several of our youth groups help in cleaning both the interior and exterior of the building.
We still need work groups from our churches to finish up the drywall and painting. Over 95% of the drywall is hung and the second floor has been painted. Once we finish hanging the drywall and painting, we can start the flooring, cabinets and finish carpentry. Please contact Loren Phippen at HOKSBA.
