In the midst of dealing with their son's condition, the Bowers were also trying to discern God's will for their 37 acres of farmland. We wanted a place that wasn't commercial. We started setting additional meeting dates and met with architects to make site plans. Each provides opportunities for disabled persons and community volunteers to work side by side, learning much about each other. It's a place for self-actualization, where people can come to be productive and add meaning to their life.
People look forward to coming here and are loved.
This place is a bridge. It's a gift. The people who work here are committed to justice issues. The reason they take jobs here is because of the mission and the ministry of the farm. They believe in it.
