Productivity Provides Purpose

In the afternoon all the residents are expected to par­ticipate in the work activities assigned to them. Most of our work projects are done at the Shepherd’s Fold shop and center around two main projects: building storage sheds and produc­ing lath for agriculture ceiling systems. Listed below are some of the benefits of having work projects.

  1. Teaches men important job skills that will aid them throughout life.
  2. Teaches men to work together in harmony, preparing them for future jobs.
  3. Provides a structured and stable work environment on our premises.
  4. Provides a large percentage of funding for our normal operating expenses.

The sheds that are built at Shepherds Fold are sold at Jono Hardware. Your purchase of a shed helps provide funds to keep the program operating.

Ecclesiastes 9:10a Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; 

What do we as residents possibly find to do with all our might? Well, there is work up at the shop [mini barns, lath, doors] there is garden work in the summer, snow removal in the winter. But more importantly is the work done in our lives. By studying Gods word and other biblical study books we as residents are equipping ourselves with “tools” needed to maintain a pure and holy life in Christ. May God get all the glory and praise for the working in my life.
