Thank you to Saebra Pipoly at Hoof Falls and Foot Falls for putting on an excellent clinic for adaptive horseback riding instructors! She is a fantastic local resource and I was so glad that our instructors Tatem and Sophia joined me. I love groups that reach across traditional demographics, and find it so rewarding to be in environments where younger and older people can listen, interact, and learn from each other. We all came away with a bunch of new teaching techniques and ideas of how to improve our lesson program.

You may have seen them around the barn — meet the Lewis family! Their goal is to start a farm for young adults who have aged out of foster care. In preparation for that, they are living and working at our farm to learn all they can about animal care and farm maintenance (spoiler alert to anyone with a similar dream: it’s more cleaning stalls and weeding, less magical moments with animals).

* Meet the Lewis Family & Just Like You Ministries: Missionaries in the West Valley *

Hi! We’re Josh, Rebecca, Arizona, and Brody Lewis—missionaries based in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona, with a deep burden to see revival ignite across our state, starting in the West Valley.

Our mission is rooted in the Great Commission: to make disciples and carry the gospel to every corner of our community. We currently serve as Young Adult Directors at a local Church, helping young adults navigate the transition into adulthood with purpose, truth, and identity rooted in Christ. Whether through one-on-one discipleship, leading Bible studies, hosting worship nights, or offering marriage mentorship, we believe in walking closely with people through their real lives—not just offering quick fixes, but cultivating deep, lasting transformation.

Our ministry is split into two key expressions:

1. ACTIVE DISCIPLESHIP TODAY
We’re committed to building a discipleship movement among young adults—equipping them to lead, serve, and thrive within the local Church and beyond. We pour into relationships through meals, mentoring, spiritual guidance, and consistent presence, helping this generation grow in faith, heal from brokenness, and step into their God-given calling.

2. A VISION FOR THE FUTURE: THE RANCH
God has given us a long-term vision to establish a residential discipleship ranch—a safe and restorative environment for young adults who have aged out of the foster care system. This future ministry center will serve as a place for deep healing, practical life training, spiritual formation, and launch into adulthood. While still 3–5 years away, we’re laying the foundation now through relationship-building, partnership development, and education of the needs of the community.

At the heart of everything we do is a passion for discipleship, healing, and restoration—not just seeing people come to Jesus, but walking with them as they become whole, mature, and missional followers of Him.

We’re just like you—ordinary people who said “yes” to God’s call.
