Please let us know you guys are ok. We love you all and are concerned. We all know sometimes things change, sometimes things do not go the way we believed to be Gods plan. We just need to hear something to let us know you and your precious family are ok. Sending love and prayers from Tennessee, Dawn Goggins
Why did you delete all the videos from Arkansas? Why not reply to people who are asking how you are doing? When we go without a video for even a few days, people start asking us how we are doing, we reply to them out of respect....anything??
@@diyfferent There are all kinds of variables at work, especially when relying on the Lord to direct your path. Priority is serving the Lord, His will and His timing and sometimes other things fall by the wayside when we want to be certain we’re not putting anything in front of Him. I know there were a LOT of upheavals and spiritual battles we encountered during our journey for the Lord’s perfect placement & family, friends and acquaintances all had opinions and expectations, but they don’t supersede our need for diligent devotion to waiting on our Lord’s still, small voice and sometimes can be a distraction. Editing to add: Your videos were a great support for us when we were in AR considering properties there and overwhelmed by the prospect of the amount of rehab we knew we’d need to take on. The Lord brought us elsewhere with even more serious projects ahead of us, but we’re grateful for you sharing your family’s experiences as well!
The Lord brought you to mind this afternoon, praying for you and your family this father's day, and asking the Lord's blessings over you and your endeavors or his peace in the waiting, wherever he may have you at the moment. My family is still waiting for home and land, but we hope every single day in His goodness, in His timing, and in His ways. Eventually, it will all be to His glory! ❤ Blessings to all
Your life looks perfect (to me). It is full of uncertainty, love and hope. It is invaluable to show others that life sometimes takes you on a much different journey than we might expect or even want. However, we can still be grateful on this great journey. Keep up the great work. God Bless
I am so excited to see how your ministry evolves. I've been watching you faithfully from Sweden onwards and will continue to support your channel as it evolves.
My heart is now at rest for you both, following since Sweedish Homestead and I am so grateful to finally have you both in these United States. If only you were treated better by our country, I am so sorry for the grief they caused you but we all know God brought Joseph through the perils of Egypt and all for God's glory and Joseph was rewarded for his obedience as will you all be. Praise Jesus Christ for his leadership 🥰!
We understand completely, in fact, the most spiritual man I ever met was a farmer. Your journey has been exactly what it needed to be to bring you to where you are now. We are looking forward to seeing your dreams unfold.
It's the busy time of the year. Moving a settling in with kids is challenging. You are not the only channel I've noticed needing to take a little break. I must agree with some of the resent comments because just a supper short unedited post to let us know what to pray for would be appreciated.
Just watched the entire video. What a great message. I knew some of the things about your background, but had no idea about a lot of it. Thank you for sharing and opening up. God speed on your journey east. Prayers that you find what you're looking for. You'll be great and will inspire others.
Thank you for sharing your background. Sharing the hard times can be difficult and we don’t need to know the details. Continue to seek God first and his righteousness and all things will be added to you. I’ll be following your journey on you tube as I have been since your time in Sweden and keeping your family in prayer.
I started watching your channel in 2017. I'm very impressed with the growth and challenges you've put yourselves through following faith that God has a plan. The two of you show a lot of courage and faith. God is always good.
I'm glad that I have been with you from the beginning because as a Christian, I understand everything you guys have been going through. ❤️🙌✝️ I love your vision. I believe God is going to bless the vision. I can see the blessing, I've seen it from the time you started sharing it months ago. I think the vision you have is awesome and I see it and I've seen it for months now, sometimes I have in the past, shared your vision with my husband who does not watch utube, I shared it with him because I truly see your farm ministry being blessed beyond measure! I see what its going to be, by faith, I'm shown it and I cant wait! ❤️❤️❤️ Praying for you and asking God to bless you❣️❣️❣️ He's going to do more than you can ask or imagine! Keep walking by faith, and He's going to work everything with His huge blessing upon it!
I’m so glad you are embarking on this journey to merge ministry and farming. We live in upstate New York and have recently retired. We have a very small homestead and are Christians who love the Lord and share both our faith and our garden hauls. It’s winter here but already planning our garden for this year. Praying for your family as you embark on your journey to find a place for both your passions.
One person to look up dealing with permaculture is Justin Rhodes, who has a TH-cam channel @theJustinRhodesShow and is located in western North Carolina. He has a large following in the homestead community with many contacts that might serve you well. I’m looking forward to this new season with your walk with the Lord - it sounds amazing!
I have been following you since you lived in Sweden. I’ve felt unsettled about you ever since you moved from there. At long last this is giving me a positive feeling about what you are doing and all that God has in store for you. This sounds like a wonderful project and life that you will be embarking on. 🙏
Gosh Alex,sorry you got so sick over the holidays 😢. That is wonderful news that you received your important documents Simeon 🎉. I could feel your struggle ,I'm pleased to no end that you are here and that you can follow God's plan for you and your kids ❤. Happy New Year may you find what your striving for 😊. JO JO IN VT 💞
So pleased you are finally able to get things done now that the green card has arrived. Wishing you all the best in your adventures and looking forward to your dream farm/homestead.
How I wish there was something like The Sound Farmer in Idaho! Our heritage farms are quickly being lost because the young people don't think they are worth the effort. These farms are being turned into subdivisions and commercial properties. We need someone who understands the land and how to make the land work for you to come in here and teach them how to keep our farm ground growing. Sadly, what once was a very godly state is fast changing and becoming more like the world every day. Southern Idaho is a high desert, both agriculturally and spiritually.
This is awesome Simeon and Alex Praying for y'all that God gives the desire of your hearts. I am so glad that I have been following you both when you were the Swedish homesteader. God will lead you where he wants you. I wish we were in the areas that you're going to maybe you can make a detour to Missouri! Wow I did not know there was Elk in Arizona! Thank you for showing them.
That’s amazing! I will pray for success and the Lord’s will be done in all your endeavors. The Lord has put a similar vision in my heart for my homestead in Oregon. There is a great need for truth and Jesus in this country.
Great video update. I appreciated your sharing how God has led your family and guided your decisions, and has been with you through the rough times and the good times.
FYI, if you haven't already I would recommend you guys watch an old movie named Boys Town, it might help understand middle America, sometimes called Flyover America.
So I am confused! I realized you had not put out a video for awhile and you were putting out videos pretty regular about your new farm in Arkansas. No I can't even find those videos and this video is listed as the latest! Is there a problem with the new farm? Hoping everything is going well for you! May God Bless!
I sure hope to get blessed by videos on your meet ups. I hope Art & Bri will be one. I still remember the video you made asking for help when their family was sick from mold. Everyone that was mentioned in comments are all friends. Have wonderful adventures❤
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! There's no better place to be than in His will. He will lead you forth and give you the desires of your hearts. I pray someone out there sees this and passes it on to someone who's heart will be touched, and who desires to see you using their land, or who's able to give you land for your ministries, farming and teaching, and for the Lord to connect you to people he's raising to work alongside of you. Blessings on you and your family, and may He keep you safe and direct your path in the way He wants you to go.
Years ago the dad of a friend of mine said "a partnership is the hardest ship to sail" and he was so right. I found this out myself years later and eventually just went it alone.
I love your vision! I will pray for continued open doors as you look for the farm God has just for this project. God bless you and your family as you teach others the important way of good farming methods and in relying on God for guidance. ❤️
What is going on? All your videos of the new farm all no longer available. I hope y’all are ok. Please tell us if y’all are ok. My prayers are with you
Thanks for the update and sharing your vision. There certainly needs to be more change in agricultural practices which can only happen by training the next generation to break the destructive cycle that has been practiced for the past 7 or 8 decades. It is more of a ministry than many will admit, returning to the way God's creation was designed to work to our benefit. Looking forward to your journey through parts of the country and where and who God puts in your path. Unfortunately I'm too far off your route up in Idaho. God bless your travels.
WOW! What an amazing journey God has taken you on already. Praying God opens just the right doors for this new ministry. Looking forward to seeing how God combines agriculture and ministry. Blessings and safe travel. Keep us updated!
I know you’ve really been through the ringer the last few years, but I never doubted the Lord was leading you and I didn’t need to know all the details. I’m excited that you have been using the time to heal and grow. I trust you will keep following God’s leading and I will feel privileged to come along, whatever you are able to share. It sounds a little bit like The Sowards’ vision, only with a more spiritual bent. That’s wonderful! I wish you were coming o Idaho, but land and houses are so expensive here, I understand why you aren’t.
I see you as a vessel to bring in the revival of faith and a back to the land revival. God Bless you and may His face shine upon you in your coming days.
I watched you guys for quite a while for the homesteading content. Can't hang for the religious bit. But I do fully support everyone worshiping whoever or whatever, as long as it's not hurting anyone or impeding on anyone else's rights. Best wishes for you and your family.
I love your vision. I have experience with raising chickens, sheep, goats and pigs , vegetables, fruit trees, berries … I have a desire to teach others organic permaculture type methods and help them physically, and spiritually. I want to also teach young people nursing. I am a spirit filled 64 year old Registered Nurse. I own a home & 2 acres in Connecticut. I would love to have you come and stay at my home. I also grow medicinal herbs and I’m a beekeeper.
My prayers are with you as you travel. I, too, have followed you since the beginning. My husband and I look forward to following your journey and welcome you to America and particularly the south. Though not homesteaders. we live in South Carolina and love it.
I Have been a fan of your channel shine the beginning. In your search for a place to settle, please don't overlook North East Georgia, in particular Young Harris, Ga. and the Hayesville, NC. area. Good luck to you and your ministry.
Having been involved in Christian ministry for 40+ years, you backstory is not surprising. Being a pastor is probably more challenging than being a farmer.. In our church I have seen several pastors come and go, and we have had big problems along the way. This is because Satan is also at work in our churches to make things difficult. I am praying for your next venture in Tennessee or North Carolina, and being interested in permaculture myself, I may find myself in one of your classes!
I have been following your family since your days in Sweden. I have loved watching your children grown and adapt. You will love the Tennessee - Northern Alabama, area. Look at Arkansas and Kentucky. May I suggest you travel route 40 and get a feel for the middle of our country. I live in northern Alabama and just love the area. Sending you and your family prayers and love.
I to have a heart for regenerative agriculture. I am much past my prime, but there may be ways I could help once you get a farm established. I live about 400 miles from Knoxville, in Indiana. I was very involved in teaching farmers to move to no-till farming in the 80’s and 90’s. I feel that was the first step towards a regenerative mindset. I will be watching to see what develops in your pursuit of a homestead.
I knew God has bigger plans 4 you guys as Paul said: many doors are open but a lot of adversary ,God will bless the ministry because of discipling his people-children to be an arrows in the hand of a mighty man in this last days(psalm 127)THE SOWER OF THE SEED IN SPIRIT, IN THE GROWN AND IN THE HEARTS
Ben from Hollar Homestead in North Carolina would be a great person to connect with-his whole channel and their family’s lifestyle is like what you talk about
If you could possibly go up to northern Kentucky to the Ark Encounter, I think you would really appreciate and enjoy it. It is amazing! (We live in Utah, and when I first became aware of it, we made arrangements to go to it-one of the highlights of my life!) Welcome to the USA!
Thank you for the update. In these end times the Lord is raising up people like you to equip the saints! We live east of Knoxville Tn. I'll be following your progress and seeking the lord
Many prayers for discernment and strong guidance from our Lord! May the Lord continue to show you the way as He has done so many times before. Our Lord is so awesome - I wish EVERYONE knew Him as we do!! 🙏
Our life experiences are so similar. First, I love the Lord with all my heart and old enough to be your grandma. Both my grandparents were small dairy farmers in the fertile farmland just west of the Mississippi in NW WI. One of them's family came from Sweden and Norway to farm. The other's came mostly from Switzerland to do the same. It gets pretty cold in WI in the winter, but there is much great land for farmers here. I have lived mostly in WI, but spent a decade in AL and SC. I loved the south, but when it comes to being out on farmland , I much aporeciate the fact there are hardly any poisonous critters up here to accidently step on. While in AL, I had to fish a copperhead out of my swimming pool at least once a week. I would rather deal with the bears and other larger critters than to put my hand down to weed a garden and then notice the snake curled up a foot away. Maybe that's just me. You would have that in TN too. Even along the Mississippi in Southern WI there are rattlesnakes. There are even very few poisonous spiders this far north (about 50 miles north of Eau Claire, WI noow). It was a bit of challenge for me to get used to the critters where it's warmer. And the summer heat is incredible complete with hurricanes and tornadic storms. I will pray God picks the perfect place for you. I know in my spirit we are very close to a joint spiritual and political upheavel in the US and feel the Lord may use you when the upcoming revival breaks out!
I'm in the very Northwest corner of North Carolina in Ashe County. I can put you in touch with pastors in the tri-state area if you are interested. There is a lot of land available here, but the Northwest corner of Tennessee would be more economical for you. Mountain City and surrounding locals are beautiful areas. If you will be in my area on a Wednesday night or Sunday, we welcome you at our Baptist church.
Maybe after you are settled you can have Sunday sermons? I was raised going to church but with a farm that is hard to commit to. We were actually watching a church channel based here in Missouri but they started incorporating a very “woke” agenda so we quit watching. I just want something normal that teaches me the New Testament. I wish Missouri could be your home. We love you guys and wish nothing but the best. May God be with you!
Where are the videos you made of the Arkansas property, the former chicken farm on the edge of the Ozarks. Last we heard, there was a tornado alert and since then there have been a lot of tornados. Are you all OK??????!!!
When you come through NC check out Eastern NC around the Washington, Beaufort County area. There is land available for homesteading along with a growing homesteading community. And a good homeschooling community. There is also a wonderful farmers market community at the Washington Harbor District Market. If you do decide to check it out a great church to visit is Harvest Church NC.
Paul’s tent-making in Acts 18:1-4. Simeon, like Paul, earns money by making tents to support himself in his real witnessing ministry to Christ. This view is too narrow because it doesn’t see that the tent-making itself is a real ministry of witnessing to Christ. Paul is a witness when he preaches, makes tents, and uses his earnings to benefit the broader community. 🙏 Love from Croatia.
I have watched you since the beginning …. Haven’t watched in a whiled though… I cannot believe that you have moved to the US… I am an American Disabled Veteran and I can tell you that this Nation and those that have sold us out are Not the America I grew up with or felt honor being a part of… Not so sure you moving here is a good thing for you and your family though and I say that with a very heavy heart… I wish you luck and GOD BLESS you.
Thank you both for the update. I have enjoyed your videos for a long time, and you will be in my prayers for Adonai's direction and His encouragement to follow the path that He wants for you. He has already put in you the will to follow his guidance, and to focus on ministry as well as the farming aspect, with God's help in everything along your journey. I'm so happy you are in the States. Our country has its problems, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I will continue to pray for blessings to come your way, and protection in your journey. I look forward to watching your next video. I'm back in southern Colorado (San Luis Valley), now, but am originally from Texas, and I lived, for several years in New Mexico. Enjoy your travels!
I would highly suggest you call on Patara at "Appalachia Homestead" ... Eastern Tennessee.....she has been historically in that area for forever....she is a boat load of knowledge....Cherokee heritage so she is so knowledgeable in the Native American/Tenn ways...love and good Luck....prayers incoming for you guys....!
I’m missing your daily uploads on the new property. I can’t seem to find them either. Will you guys be resuming them in the near future?
I'm guessing the deal fell through.
Wow I never thought of that sinario!
I hope they are all ok. I hope they were not impacted by the tornadoes a few months ago. I think the last I saw, they were in Missouri
You will be recreating the kind of life that founded this country. Much needed and I hope welcomed.
Have not heard from you guys in a long time. Hope and pray you are all well.
Please let us know you guys are ok. We love you all and are concerned. We all know sometimes things change, sometimes things do not go the way we believed to be Gods plan. We just need to hear something to let us know you and your precious family are ok. Sending love and prayers from Tennessee, Dawn Goggins

What has happened to all your videos you posted in Arkansas?? Missing your posts!!
I noticed that too. I bet prayers are needed. God bless Alex and family.
I wondering what happened to videos also and why no new ones lately
Probably the plans with the owner of the property fell through.
Didn't work out looks like. Why would anybody leave a secure life in Europe and go to USA where you never know what will happen tomorrow???😮
@@harcık368 do you mean Sweden where they were going to plow the farm under to mine for cobalt? That kind of security?
I am so excited to see how your ministry evolves. I've been watching you faithfully from Sweden onwards and will continue to support your channel as it evolves.
So glad to hear from you, again!
Thank you so much!
@@simeonandalex how can I find your postings have seen none since the one in January 2024 on TH-cam - which is the only place I can watch you
It is late July, 2024….I haven’t seen a post for a long time. I hope only the best for your family, and look forward to hearing from you again.
Hello Simeon. Can you please let us know you’re ok. Praying you all are.
Thank you for sharing your calling! May our LORD Jesus give you clear guidance on this next phase of your journey.
My heart is now at rest for you both, following since Sweedish Homestead and I am so grateful to finally have you both in these United States. If only you were treated better by our country, I am so sorry for the grief they caused you but we all know God brought Joseph through the perils of Egypt and all for God's glory and Joseph was rewarded for his obedience as will you all be.

Such a great reminder...Our God is able to do "exceeding abundantly above"...
@@TheBonnieberry Yes, it is a great reminder He is able and willing !
Amen!
We all are rewarded the exact way🥰‼️@@SolaceRadioMeanderRadioNetwork

Alex or Simeon, can you either confirm or deny that vaxx passes were required to enter stores in Austria during the time you lived there?
Of corse it was. The same as in germany. I was only allowed to buy food
So pleased you are finally able to get things done now that the green card has arrived. Wishing you all the best in your adventures and looking forward to your dream farm/homestead.

That is Awesome! Praying for y'all
I have been watching since Swedish Homestead. I even tried Breese chickens for a while, I only have 3/4 of an acre. I pray for your beautiful family.
Thank you!
That’s amazing! I will pray for success and the Lord’s will be done in all your endeavors. The Lord has put a similar vision in my heart for my homestead in Oregon. There is a great need for truth and Jesus in this country.
That is awesome. Thanks for praying!
This was 5 months ago! I remember watching. But where are you now? I hope you can update us. I hope your all doing great.
GOD BLESS YOU
Welcome and glad to hear from you both! 👍😊🙏
Great video update. I appreciated your sharing how God has led your family and guided your decisions, and has been with you through the rough times and the good times.
FYI, if you haven't already I would recommend you guys watch an old movie named Boys Town, it might help understand middle America, sometimes called Flyover America.
So I am confused! I realized you had not put out a video for awhile and you were putting out videos pretty regular about your new farm in Arkansas. No I can't even find those videos and this video is listed as the latest! Is there a problem with the new farm? Hoping everything is going well for you! May God Bless!
I've enjoyed your progress since SFH. I will continue watching as you find your path stateside and your homesteading faith oriented journey!🕊
Worried too. Have not seen any new videos for awhile. The weather has been bad in your area.
I sure hope to get blessed by videos on your meet ups. I hope Art & Bri will be one. I still remember the video you made asking for help when their family was sick from mold. Everyone that was mentioned in comments are all friends. Have wonderful adventures❤
Been following you from the beginning. Can’t wait to see where God leads you.
Love your vision.

Blessings on you and your family, and may He keep you safe and direct your path in the way He wants you to go.
Things must have fallen apart in Arkansas, just like in Austria, just like in Sweden… really want to see these guys make it

You will be a blessing wherever God places you. Keep Him as your vision.
thank you for the update. may God continue to guide you.
Sooo many seeds you are going to plant, and not just on a farm. :) God Bless!
WOW! What an amazing journey God has taken you on already. Praying God opens just the right doors for this new ministry. Looking forward to seeing how God combines agriculture and ministry. Blessings and safe travel. Keep us updated!
I pray u guys have a safe trip n stay warm n find ur forever home many blessings from North Texas ❤
I know you’ve really been through the ringer the last few years, but I never doubted the Lord was leading you and I didn’t need to know all the details. I’m excited that you have been using the time to heal and grow. I trust you will keep following God’s leading and I will feel privileged to come along, whatever you are able to share. It sounds a little bit like The Sowards’ vision, only with a more spiritual bent. That’s wonderful!
I wish you were coming o Idaho, but land and houses are so expensive here, I understand why you aren’t.
Miss you guys❤ will be praying for you. My husband asked about you and we are Christian believers also.
I see you as a vessel to bring in the revival of faith and a back to the land revival.
God Bless you and may His face shine upon you in your coming days.
I watched you guys for quite a while for the homesteading content. Can't hang for the religious bit. But I do fully support everyone worshiping whoever or whatever, as long as it's not hurting anyone or impeding on anyone else's rights.
Best wishes for you and your family.
I love your vision. I have experience with raising chickens, sheep, goats and pigs , vegetables, fruit trees, berries … I have a desire to teach others organic permaculture type methods and help them physically, and spiritually. I want to also teach young people nursing. I am a spirit filled 64 year old Registered Nurse. I own a home & 2 acres in Connecticut. I would love to have you come and stay at my home. I also grow medicinal herbs and I’m a beekeeper.
My prayers are with you as you travel. I, too, have followed you since the beginning. My husband and I look forward to following your journey and welcome you to America and particularly the south. Though not homesteaders. we live in South Carolina and love it.
So many of the homesteader community are devout Christians...i am sure God will show you 5he way.
Let us know all is well...............
I Have been a fan of your channel shine the beginning. In your search for a place to settle, please don't overlook North East Georgia, in particular Young Harris, Ga. and the Hayesville, NC. area.
Good luck to you and your ministry.
Having been involved in Christian ministry for 40+ years, you backstory is not surprising. Being a pastor is probably more challenging than being a farmer.. In our church I have seen several pastors come and go, and we have had big problems along the way. This is because Satan is also at work in our churches to make things difficult. I am praying for your next venture in Tennessee or North Carolina, and being interested in permaculture myself, I may find myself in one of your classes!
Gods blessing on the journey ahead.
I have been following your family since your days in Sweden. I have loved watching your children grown and adapt. You will love the Tennessee - Northern Alabama, area. Look at Arkansas and Kentucky. May I suggest you travel route 40 and get a feel for the middle of our country. I live in northern Alabama and just love the area. Sending you and your family prayers and love.
I to have a heart for regenerative agriculture. I am much past my prime, but there may be ways I could help once you get a farm established. I live about 400 miles from Knoxville, in Indiana. I was very involved in teaching farmers to move to no-till farming in the 80’s and 90’s. I feel that was the first step towards a regenerative mindset. I will be watching to see what develops in your pursuit of a homestead.
I knew God has bigger plans 4 you guys as Paul said: many doors are open but a lot of adversary ,God will bless the ministry because of discipling his people-children to be an arrows in the hand of a mighty man in this last days(psalm 127)THE SOWER OF THE SEED IN SPIRIT, IN THE GROWN AND IN THE HEARTS
I am praying that all is well with you and your family.🙏
Ben from Hollar Homestead in North Carolina would be a great person to connect with-his whole channel and their family’s lifestyle is like what you talk about
Yes he is a good one. There are others just like him in that part of NC. We are very blessed.
Glad you made it to the US
I enjoy getting to see your videos. I watch a channel called the Hollar Homesttead. I think you have a lot in common. They are in North Carolina.
Love the video. Praying to God for closed doors is a real value. Thanks to EO Priest Father Turbo for that gem.
If you could possibly go up to northern Kentucky to the Ark Encounter, I think you would really appreciate and enjoy it. It is amazing! (We live in Utah, and when I first became aware of it, we made arrangements to go to it-one of the highlights of my life!) Welcome to the USA!
We will pray with you .Spurgeon said "I've learned to kiss the waves that crash me into the Rock of Ages."
Thank you for the update. In these end times the Lord is raising up people like you to equip the saints! We live east of Knoxville Tn. I'll be following your progress and seeking the lord
Many prayers for discernment and strong guidance from our Lord! May the Lord continue to show you the way as He has done so many times before. Our Lord is so awesome - I wish EVERYONE knew Him as we do!! 🙏
Thank you for praying!
Our life experiences are so similar. First, I love the Lord with all my heart and old enough to be your grandma. Both my grandparents were small dairy farmers in the fertile farmland just west of the Mississippi in NW WI. One of them's family came from Sweden and Norway to farm. The other's came mostly from Switzerland to do the same. It gets pretty cold in WI in the winter, but there is much great land for farmers here. I have lived mostly in WI, but spent a decade in AL and SC. I loved the south, but when it comes to being out on farmland , I much aporeciate the fact there are hardly any poisonous critters up here to accidently step on. While in AL, I had to fish a copperhead out of my swimming pool at least once a week. I would rather deal with the bears and other larger critters than to put my hand down to weed a garden and then notice the snake curled up a foot away. Maybe that's just me. You would have that in TN too. Even along the Mississippi in Southern WI there are rattlesnakes. There are even very few poisonous spiders this far north (about 50 miles north of Eau Claire, WI noow). It was a bit of challenge for me to get used to the critters where it's warmer. And the summer heat is incredible complete with hurricanes and tornadic storms. I will pray God picks the perfect place for you. I know in my spirit we are very close to a joint spiritual and political upheavel in the US and feel the Lord may use you when the upcoming revival breaks out!
I'm in the very Northwest corner of North Carolina in Ashe County. I can put you in touch with pastors in the tri-state area if you are interested. There is a lot of land available here, but the Northwest corner of Tennessee would be more economical for you. Mountain City and surrounding locals are beautiful areas. If you will be in my area on a Wednesday night or Sunday, we welcome you at our Baptist church.
Maybe after you are settled you can have Sunday sermons? I was raised going to church but with a farm that is hard to commit to. We were actually watching a church channel based here in Missouri but they started incorporating a very “woke” agenda so we quit watching. I just want something normal that teaches me the New Testament. I wish Missouri could be your home. We love you guys and wish nothing but the best. May God be with you!
Where are the videos you made of the Arkansas property, the former chicken farm on the edge of the Ozarks. Last we heard, there was a tornado alert and since then there have been a lot of tornados. Are you all OK??????!!!
I will be praying.
Thank you!
When you come through NC check out Eastern NC around the Washington, Beaufort County area. There is land available for homesteading along with a growing homesteading community. And a good homeschooling community. There is also a wonderful farmers market community at the Washington Harbor District Market. If you do decide to check it out a great church to visit is Harvest Church NC.
In Coarse Gold in California, a group of Dominican Laity ( Order of Preachers) started something like this & subsisted for many years.
Paul’s tent-making in Acts 18:1-4. Simeon, like Paul, earns money by making tents to support himself in his real witnessing ministry to Christ. This view is too narrow because it doesn’t see that the tent-making itself is a real ministry of witnessing to Christ. Paul is a witness when he preaches, makes tents, and uses his earnings to benefit the broader community. 🙏 Love from Croatia.
I have watched you since the beginning ….
Haven’t watched in a whiled though…
I cannot believe that you have moved to the US…
I am an American Disabled Veteran and I can tell you
that this Nation and those that have sold us out are
Not the America I grew up with or felt honor being a
part of…
Not so sure you moving here is a good thing for you
and your family though and I say that with a very heavy heart…
I wish you luck and GOD BLESS you.
I think moving to where God tells you to move is right. Do you know of other places that are way better than the US?
My USA sounds like it’s different than your USA. Where in the world is better than living here?
Thank you both for the update. I have enjoyed your videos for a long time, and you will be in my prayers for Adonai's direction and His encouragement to follow the path that He wants for you. He has already put in you the will to follow his guidance, and to focus on ministry as well as the farming aspect, with God's help in everything along your journey. I'm so happy you are in the States. Our country has its problems, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I will continue to pray for blessings to come your way, and protection in your journey. I look forward to watching your next video. I'm back in southern Colorado (San Luis Valley), now, but am originally from Texas, and I lived, for several years in New Mexico. Enjoy your travels!
Simeon and Alex, we hope and pray you are established and strengthened by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please let us know. ❤️👍🌸
We pray you find the perfect farm that fulfills all your dreams❤️god bless🙏
I would highly suggest you call on Patara at "Appalachia Homestead" ... Eastern Tennessee.....she has been historically in that area for forever....she is a boat load of knowledge....Cherokee heritage so she is so knowledgeable in the Native American/Tenn ways...love and good Luck....prayers incoming for you guys....!
I know of her, she is great!👍🏻
Hope you guys stop by Calvary Knox on your trip. Land is expensive around here though.
