Hi Reader,
Most people want to be generous.
They see need. They feel it.
And if they knew their help would actually make a difference… they’d give without hesitation.
But there’s a problem.
Trust is broken.
There are too many scammers. Too many stories of people being taken advantage of. Too many situations where money is given—and nothing changes.
So what happens?
People hesitate.
They hold back.
Not because they don’t care… but because they don’t know who to trust.
And that’s a problem—because while people hesitate, real lives are still hurting.
—
I’ve been thinking deeply about this.
If we’re serious about serving others—effectively—then good intentions aren’t enough.
There has to be structure, accountability, and proximity to the people being served.
That’s where the vision for Feed My Sheep Outreach comes in.
Not as another distant organization…
But as something local. Integrated. Known.
Built within the community it serves.
—
Here’s what that looks like:
Instead of guessing who’s in need… we work through local churches.
People who already know their communities.
People who already know the individuals and families who are struggling.
No guesswork. No distance. No disconnect.
From there, everything is transparent.
Where every dollar goes.
Who it serves.
What impact it’s making.
And leadership matters.
The board won’t be strangers with resumes.
It will be people I’ve been through the fire with—proven character, lived integrity, years of serving without recognition.
Because if trust is broken, it has to be rebuilt on something real.
—
We’ll start with focus on widows.
Not because others don’t matter—but because their needs are often overlooked the most.
Through my farm—and eventually a coalition of local farmers—we will provide each widow with 6 to 12 months of real, farm-fresh food.
Not processed.
Not cheap filler.
Real nourishment.
We’ll start small.
Serve a few people exceptionally well.
Then we’ll refine, build relationships, and expand—community by community.
Fully localized.
Run by people who are known and trusted.
—
And here’s something most people don’t think about:
If you want something like this to actually work… it has to create opportunity, too.
You can’t expect people to serve full-time and not provide for their families.
That’s not sustainable. And it’s not right.
So this isn’t just about giving.
It’s about building.
Creating roles within the community—caretakers, tradesmen, administrators—people who are compensated so they can fully commit to the mission.
They will be offered a fair salary, but may choose to only take what they need—and reinvest the rest.
Not forced sacrifice.
Willing stewardship.
—
At the start, this will be donor-supported.
But long-term?
I want this to become something more.
Something that grows.
Something that multiplies.
Something that becomes self-sustaining through creativity and entrepreneurship.
A system that doesn’t just help people…
But creates legacy and innovation.
—
This is a big vision.
And I don’t expect everyone to understand it right away.
But I know this:
We don't have time for someone else to step in.
People are hurting now.
—
So I’m looking for the right people.
Not just supporters—but builders.
People who resonate with this.
People who think long-term.
People who value stewardship, responsibility, and real impact.
If that’s you, reply to this email or reach out.
And if you want to support this early—help bring it out of infancy and into reality—I’ll show you exactly how.
We’re building something that lasts.
To those of you who have already become Founding Stewards and contributed towards the 17-week intensive in Nevada,
This vision is what it's all about.
I'm glad to have you on board.
