Biography
I am the husband of a beautiful wife and eight children. I am in my mid-thirties and  worked in construction, academia, and ministry. I live off-grid in my 3000 square foot Quonset hut homestead that I built with my own hands in the intersection of Northern Appalachian coal country and an Amish Paradise in the Keystone State.

We now produce all of our own electricity from solar, our own water from a spring, compost all of our own waste, burn firewood for our heat, raise goats for our milk, hogs for our meat, gardens and greenhouses for our produce, and chickens and ducks for our eggs; All guarded from vermin and predators by cats and Great Pyrenees dogs.

In spite of being greatly satisfied in all of this, we lack community, and as Christians, are looking to start a communal village based on permaculture principles and sound Scriptural doctrine somewhere outside of the United States, likely in the global south (whether on an island in the Caribbean or in deepest Africa, or wherever God leads us).

If you are reading this, and are intrigued by such an idea, feel free to message me directly. God bless.

Rhonda, we are planning to do multiple locations, but our flagship location will be in North Eastern Oklahoma in the Ozark Foothills or what is called "the Oklahoma green country." Very unregulated, green, and hilly. The water is pure and the land is clean, over 1000 acres which is only for off-grid and sustainable building and agriculture (only kind that will be occurring there).

The community is a "Christian Exodus Project" which is a ministry of Christ the King Fellowship (The church) in partnership with the local property owner who will also be a member of the community. The community is a Christian community and is operated by the heads-of-households and the ordained elders (ministry team) of the church and is governed by biblical rules and common-sense.  The community is called "The Jesus Village at Haven Springs."

Please go through our vetting questions on our new website for the community here:  https://jesusvillage.org/get-involved.html

After your complete the vetting, you will then be scheduled for a phone interview with one of the men from our ministry team for the personal interview, after which there is only one or two more steps, which after completing successfully, will result in you being offered an opportunity to join the project and buy/or receive a lot in the village.

P.S.

We still plan, as part of our longer-term goals, to build communities in the Caribbean and still have active connections there (especially in Dominica); however, one thing at a time right now until God blesses us with more team members and funds.

The main site is here, which will tell you more about what we are about:  https://jesusvillage.org/index.html

We have some pictures on the location and team tabs (we plan on adding more in next few months), but the "goals" really tell you about our core mission points.

Our old site is still being used, but will be made into a group blog later this year: https://christianexodus.net/

"The About" and "FAQ" sections are helpful here.

We believe that unless you are born of water and of Spirit you cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

I am a widower with a young son. We live on an established homestead, but there is still much building to do. I am a blue collar guy, and I still work fulltime away from the homestead.

I am in south west Wyoming on a modest acreage surrounded by vast swathes of public land and open range grazing. Fully off-grid cabin with most modern appliances. (Some people have described it as a "tiny home," but I don't care for that designation. It is over 600 sq. ft.) I own everything outright. This is an extremely rural and very sparsely populated area. The nearby town has a population of approx. 3000. (45 minute drive to the nearest Walmart or McDonalds.)

I raise dairy goats and layer hens and have plans to expand my stock into other breeds this summer. The growing season is very short here, but modest gardening and crop raising is possible. I grow mostly potatoes and onions, some quick maturing greens, and animal fodder.
Practices on my farm include permaculture, organic gardening, traditional animal husbandry, purity (as the term is used on this forum), deep nutrition, and general self-sufficiency.

I need a strong woman for this homestead to function properly, and I would like to have more children.
If this is of interest to you, please contact me via message on the forum or email me at thehivern@protonmail.com
I am reluctant to post a picture of myself on the open forum, but I'd be happy to exchange pictures of myself and other more personal info via email, text, etc.



Hey brother, don't count us out, I think you will be great fit with us, might have some young ladies before it is all said and done. I think you might have an easier time getting one to move down the Caribbean than to Wyoming. Just a hunch.

All joking aside, I pray for all the best for your endeavor whatever you decided. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

In Christ,
Josh
