We’re on a roll!

So the Road Team came home and of course, we celebrated with a sweet medieval party. We served the food on the table without any plates or silverware (that’s the only way to go). After a full day of work and setting up, we honored our bros and sisses with one of the sweetest parties we’ve thrown yet (the food was the best part.)

Enjoy!

Hey All,
So its about time. The Home Team has posted their first blog. You know the Road Team is sweet but the Road Team comes from the Home Team. So here you go. The first Home Team blog and many more to come.
We would love to hear from you so make sure to comment.
Love you guys,
The Home Team

The RTT is on the road for the second tour of the year! Everything is going great. Be on the look out for them in your area of the country. Here is a little bit of what they have been doing lately!
See you guys soon.

Everyone say hello to Mesa Kinsley Paige Bredahl, born on Dec 2 at 4:39 in the morning; weighing in at 8 pounds, 2 ounces. Praise God- She was born 100% healthy and whole! She has been such a blessing to Josh and Laci and we are excited to take her on the road with us when the time comes. The bus is currently being renovated to accommodate a baby and private quarters for Josh, Laci, and Mesa. We are all so blessed to have the cutest baby ever traveling with us across the country

We just wanted to thank everybody who came to our annual dinner theater this past Thursday!  We were so blessed by all of those who attended this event, and are even more blessed by those who donated and made financial commitments to our ministry!  We raised $48,396!  Praise God!  On a side note, I want to apologize for the delay in this post, we haven’t had internet up here at Champion Ranch for the past week until yesterday   We pray you all have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Yesterday we had the opportunity to throw a goodbye party for our cook, Mama D, who spent her last day on staff with us.  For the past four years, Mama D (Diane Comstock) has poured her life into cooking and serving us here at Go Ministries.  She has been such a blessing to our ministry and we are so grateful, not just for all the delicious meals she’s cooked for us, but for the love and faithfulness she lived out on a day-to-day basis.  It’s a big job to feed all of us and yet she never ceased to have a smile on her face.  We are looking forward to the next season in her life and know that God will use her greatly!

God has provided supernatural provision for a new cook (hallelujah!) but the details definitely deserve a post all in it’s own.  So, keep an eye out for the post within the next month!

What’d you wake up to this morning?  Well, we woke up to a good ‘ole fashion Minnesota surprise – snow!!!  I’d say it is slightly early for snow, even for Minnesota, but nonetheless it has been very entertaining.  Today all the home team is ripping up trees and all sorts of greenery, well, orangish-yellowie-greenerie to be exact.  While the guys were busy working, the girls were having fun rolling and sliding in the mud – ok, so maybe they did work, they just weren’t at the time I was filming this (oops).  In fact, the girls were playing a now Go Ministries classic, human bowling (started by the road team last year).  We’re working today to clear out a nice big area at Champion Ranch that leads down to the horse barn and field.  Once more snow arrives (which hopefully won’t be soon), I’m sure this new hill will quickly turn into a large sledding hill for all our red-necking needs… I mean, for all our responsible, safe, leisurely, winter sledding activities

We will be having our annual Go Ministries Open House, at Champion Ranch, on September 13th from 1 – 5pm.  We encourage everyone to come meet the staff and interns, see the property and new facility additions, and to enjoy fellowship along with desserts and refreshments!  If you don’t know your way to Champion Ranch, just drive north on Hwy 65 (approx 23 mi past Cambridge) and once you cross Fish Lake you’ll see black fencing and a big Champion Ranch sign on your left.  If you’d like more specific directions, here is our address:

1819 Highway 65 Mora, MN 55051

We hope to see you here!
