About Me:
Let me introduce ourselves. We live in Charles City, Virginia, one of the first five original counties (shires) in America... but still no stop light and we love it! We are part of a missional venture pioneering a work (promiselandpastures.org) a 130 acre innovative farm and discipleship mission in this historic, rural community made up of three cultures, all with roots to America’s birth (Native, African, and European). Promise Land’s vision is the be a Laboratory for Community Transformation. We have an intern program that connects local youth with mentors of various practical skills (everything from Regenerative Agriculture to Drone Pilot Certification, Diesel Mechanics, Indoor Vertical Farming, Microgreens, Animal Husbandry, Marketing, Design, Media, and Publishing, and more) and a budding discipleship program (Masterpiece Discovery) that begins with hearing God in the discovery of identity and giftedness, open to Christians and pre-christians youth alike. After several years of establishing structural and relational foundations in the community and region we long to scale into a multiplication movement that brings healing and transformation of this wonderful community by empowering young people to respond to the call of God to be the change agents both at home and around the world. We would love to connect with others who desire to see small towns and rural villages awakened to all their promise and potential for the abundant life we are meant to live. Love to share practical, innovative ideas and community- building experiences with others who have similar dreams and desires for their community.
