OVERCOMER! A few weeks ago Sam reached out sharing that his wife, Tiffany, had a life long fear of horses. As a gift to her, he brought her to the farm to overcome that fear. I would say some progress was made today. Thanks for coming out to see us!

Thank you University of Saint Francis - Fort Wayne, IN and Avalon Missionary Church for inviting us to be a part of your Christmas celebrations this past weekend.
