    I just got chills watching your video. 5 years ago God laid it on my husband's heart to move to NWA. We uprooted and came and I have been sitting here for 3 years saying, "Now what God?" We unfortunately live in a POA area, but looking for an area as you described where we can have land, hives, garden & a small homestead community. I'm new to your channel and would like to thank you for the videos you have shared!

    It's amazing, I feel God is calling me to the Ozarks... that is why I am looking into these videos. I have been a prepper for many years, but in the last few months I have had this calling to go to the Ozarks... When you said that many there believe God called them to the Ozarks I know exactly what you mean. Looking to start home steading and can't think of a better place to be.

      Many Northerners moved here after the "Civil" War. The reason they could is that the federal army burned the crops, farms and mills and killed the livestock. The Southerners who lived here had to move. It was just what the Northerners wanted, and they still do.

    God lead me to your video. I was floored when you said God is calling his people to the ozarks. I've been telling people for years that God lead me to the ozarks. To this town that I had visited because of work for years. I didn't like this town but moved here. Because this is where God wanted me. Glory to God ( Yahweh ). Just had to share this.

    Its nice to finally hear someone say "God" or "Most high God" led us here, or did this.." rather than the usual copout "the universe" did this. Thats what people say when they want to *sort of* acknowledge God, but not totally. I hear it often, and its cowardly, and sickening.

    Hi Pastor, I can't believe i found your channel, about a month ago i prayed and prayed for god to show me the truth, i won't make this long, but he started with his real name, that blew me away, since then i have learned so much it's like he open a flood gate showing me everything and the one thing that keeps coming up is leave, leave when I am and go to the Ozarks, i told my husband, he was just baptized a year and a half ago, he doesn't want to leave his job. I told him he's not going to have a job soon and he can retire anyway, and we can raise our 4 yr old that we are adopting together, anyway I know god is telling me to go to the ozarks, it's in my face everyday, everyday i see something either on tv, the internet, i hear someone, i just blindly came across your channel. thank you for your video. May God Bless you and your Family.

Even the towns are country here . California can sink anytime with all the flag hating weirdos and illegals and crooked politicians etc. Sure there are some riff raffs here but at least they stick out like sore thumbs !

    We are not up in the mountains (kinda wish we were) but we are considered the foothills of the Ozarks. I love it, and we aren't far from beautiful terrain. I've lived other places. THIS is my home though. I was raised in a town not far from where I live now and wouldn't live there at all because it's grown way too much to suit me. I go there maybe once a month to shop for things I can't find more locally. That's it. lol

    I was born in New Jersey and have lived here all my life. I went to college in New York City, so spent a few years in my early twenties over there. Now that I am 32, I feel I want to get out of this part of the country. It is just too over crowded, too expensive, and people are very nasty. I think the wilderness or country life like that you have in the Ozarks is closer to g-d, and a more peaceful existence.

      😮 yes, but if you are used to New York, this is different ball game here. Very different mindset. They don't have any conveniences here, no big stores, no hospitals in the central north. No civilization. You better check the North West part than. There is more to do in it. But it is more expensive than the North Central AR. North Central is only hunting, canoeing and bicycling. But people are good.

    I really enjoy your videos PJF. I stumbled onto your cite a little over a week ago, and I've probably watched a half a dozen or so of them. But something you said in this particular video really stood out in my mind. " come out of her my people." Last summer I went to the Ozarks in Arkansas after having witnessed the eclipse in Missouri. We stayed for about 10 days camping in different areas throughout the mountains. I don't know why I felt compelled to do that but it was very very interesting, and I enjoyed the area very much. I'm from Michigan and I live in a city, and yes I agree with some information in one of your other videos, I need to get out of the city. But it's uncanny how I feel this calling to the Ozarks, specifically the Ozarks. My name is Kurt and I contacted you via comments before, but hadn't heard anything. And then I saw a response in the comment section of one of your videos stating that you had sent me two messages and to check my SPAM. I did that and did not see any messages. Please try again. Just to remind you, I was a guy with the master electrician's license, tons of tools and supplies and the knowledge to use them, and a desire to work and be part of a community. Thank you, Kurt

You said yourself that you didn't want to live in highly populated areas. Explain to me what the beautiful Ozark's will be like when you've convinced all the California snowflakes to come here? They do not come to assimilate, they come to change. How will you like the Ozark's then? I can speak with authority on this, the little town I'm from, Eureka Springs, used to be a God loving and respecting little town. Since you now live In the Ozark's I'm sure you know exactly what has happened to my little town. I love your videos but I wish you wouldn't invite the world to come here.
    One last question pastor Joe, How do you feel about Merkel pushing FOR the immigrants in Germany without even vetting them? She is letting them in by the droves and they won't assimilate. They flee their country, the country they detest yet they come to change your way of life to the detestful way of life they are fleeing. See the connection I'm trying to make?

      twilight, I know what you mean about left-wingers changing your town until you no longer recognize it; that's what happened to mine in california. But I'm thinking that most folks that want to move to the ozarks would be either currently "like-minded" with you folks there or will be willing to become more so after living there. speaking for myself, I feel the need to bug out of calif, and I would feel that it was heaven to live around conservative, God-fearing people! So, I'm hoping that my theory is correct--that only "preppers" and survivalists would move to such a hot, humid area and voluntarily leave behind the comforts of "city life", or for me, the beauty of calif. The rest of the hordes would run screaming after a few days!

    Center of the country also has strategic advantage to perpetuate normalcy for those you love in case of foreign invasion. No major targets advertised here. We should have plenty of notice when the signal goes up and theres at least a chance that major conflict doesn’t even make it this far inland.

      JohnDoe didn't give you an answer, so I'll give it a try.
      City dwellers would find it a great hardship for the nearest mom and pop store to be a 30 mile round trip as it is for me, and 25 miles to the nearest town of any size, to find even a Walmart, and Starbucks is out of the question. If I forget milk or bread, I just do without until the next trip. I'm not in the Ozarks, but deep in the woods a couple of hours south of there. Unless a person is self-sufficient, and can take care of their own, it would be an extremely miserable life. I was lucky enough to have a dad that insisted I learn how to do it all, if it's wood, metal, garden, or guns, I can probably handle it. I have never had to call "the guy" to fix much of anything for me. There has never been a paid repairman of any kind in my house or on my land.
      And the worst part for so many city people might be that, 4 generations of my family eat dinner together every Sunday, and they don't really see a need for that.

      Its like everywhere else in that some people drive 30 minutes to town and some people live in the city or large towns, anyone who tells you otherwise is bullshitting.

    It's interesting to have read a lot of the comments where the person said that they were 'called' to move to the Ozarks. Well, so was I, but I have an added reason for that 'calling'; a 'calling' to come back home. My ancestors were among the very first few white folks that permanently settled along the White River, near Melbourne, Arkansas, way back in 1816. They established a town on the White River called Mt. Olive. Well, I had been living in the Dallas, Tx. area for 18 years...from about 1982-2000. I raised two children by myself, working my rear end off at a full time job and almost always with a part time job on the side just to keep the bills paid and keep a steady home life for us.But I started to get really burned out by the "big city' around 1997-98 and knew that I had to do something or have a complete breakdown. I had always wanted to move back to the Ozark foothills of N. Central Arkansas. I soon realized that my wishful desire to move back 'home' had become a real tugging, a 'calling', a being led to do more than just wish & hope. My kids were just out of H.S. and it took the next 2 years of getting things lined up properly and the kids off on their own with jobs and their own efficiency apt.; and me making several trips up here to nail down a job and a place to live before I knew that it would be right for me to move. And all throughout those 2 years, I knew..I knew...that I was being led to 'come home'. I told my friends that I didn't understand all of the reasons "Why" I had to move back here, but I knew that those reasons would become known at the proper time. I have been 'home' for 18 years now, my Daughter now lives here and her Daughter...my one & only Grandchild... is now here too. While in the Dallas area those years, we always lived in apts; I never could afford a house, even with my Veterans housing help...just way too expensive..unless I wanted to live in the bad part of town...and I mean BAD..! But after moving back, I soon found a house with a few acres and have been here ever since. Yep....I'm happy to be 'home'. I feel a very strong connection to my ancestors. Many people will think it's just nonsense, that connection that I feel, and that's okay by me, because I know better. Yep...I am glad that I finally made it back 'home' in the Ozarks, where I belong.

    It was as if I had done a great sin. The POA were demanding I remove them.
    Thanx to a brother Marine I was able to relocated them to his place.
    Then I started searching for off grid land more intently n praying about it. So now I'm making plans to leave Texas.

    My wife and I were lead to come to Missouri a year ago invited by a so called brother in Christ.
    He told us he had made a promise to God that he would share his blessing with a brother...
    This was in the making of 5 years of social media contact.
    I left Chicago in 2015 going to Palm Springs Ca. to meet my now wife of almost 3 years.
    I had come here to Missouri to meet in person and pick out the gifted 2 acres, which I only parceled out about 3/4 of an acre.
    Went back to Ca. to sell our mobile home, that took another 2 years, then came and started working on the property.
    I didnt feel right just taking the land and tried just to purchase it from his 80 acres, he insisted not to accept any money.
    I paid out for a road, well, electric and septic purchased a trailer and got ready to build our retirement home. At that point I told him I wanted a deed of ownership.
    He said okay, but then kept putting it off.
    To make a long story short, he started oppressing us by telling me what and what not I was allowed to do.
    No fires, no visitor stays, no one allowed to drive in without his knowledge and then started by telling me we have a spiritual wall between us...
    I had already befriended people here and my wife and I feel in live with the laid back friendliness of the area... I finally told him I cant build here without a deed.
    That's when he looked me right in the eye and said "I changed my mind" now the real Mark Obbink came forward, not the fake Christian brother.
    I had already spent $16.000.00
    and he's changed his mind!
    I said that's okay just reimburse me the money I've spent and we'll be on our way.
    He sat on the couch, stuck his had down in his pants, stroked his beard and said "I ain't giving you shit" so much for trusting anyone ever again.
    In my youth I ran with a MC club and was known to fight at the drop of a hat, I like you was also ex-military.
    My flesh wanted to break him in half, my spirit wouldn't allow it.
    He doesn't realize the beating Yah saved him from...
    I realize he was a lesson and a steppingstone, because it is our fathers will for us to be here in Missouri. We purchased four acres that just happened to be listed on our 2nd wedding anniversary, right next to Bennett Springs.
    I do believe the Lord lead us here as you do, and he always shows us it's by his hand.
    Much love to you brother.
    I'll keep watching. peace.

No one will want to come here because it's cold. That's a plus actually. The horrds will be heading south because they are thinking longer growing season, more food. Well lots of good that's going to do you with more people heading your way who will want what you've got. You need to go to places they don't want to go to.

I retire this year and plan to do 1 year of mission work in appalachia and the move permanently to the southern ozarks.
