We’ve had some exciting changes on the Ranch since spring!
Jacob Roth married Sienna Sovereign on May 30th. Jacob serves on staff as our Assistant Program Director and they are both alumni of our School of Discipleship program. Sienna has been a blessing to join us on staff and volunteers in various departments. Their wedding was a fun reunion of alumni over the past few years.
Ian Henry Purdie arrived as our newest staff member on August 11th after a busy summer for the family. His parents, Teddy and Noelle Purdie were very excited for his safe delivery and he is joyfully embraced by his 3 older siblings, Hannah, Ruby, and Justin.
On September 14th, Josiah Gross, our Program Director, married Emily Cox, daughter of Matt and Jenni Cox. The Lord blessed the day with beautiful weather for the outdoor wedding in the grove of trees next to our Fort Wilderness location.
As a staff, many of our families are shifting housing units due to one unit being remodeled since the last family moved out, and another family moving off of the facility. Our staff families continue to grow in size so we need to make adjustments to meet their needs. We anticipate this winter helping to move a lot of furniture and do needed
maintenance and upgrades on these units as they are discovered.
