We had the blessing of hosting an amazing youth group from Wichita, Kansas, The West E. Free Student Ministry connected to us through the LeaderTreks Youth Ministry .

The Firehouse got an extreme outdoor makeover and they were also able to stop by and bless our neighborhood families with food and prayer.

Huge shout out to Commissioner Phil Lopez District 6 WYCO and the crew from Arboles Tree Trimming who dropped in to help us take care of a tree that a storm had knocked down.

Yesterday I was blessed to be able to shoot a round of golf at the 5th Annual Firehouse on Freeman Fairway Classic: Sponsored by Kingdom Truss with three of my great friends that I played ball with in college at Avila University back almost 30 years ago as well as a long time friend who I met through wiffle ball tournaments close to ten years ago. The conversations throughout the day and the time shared were truly immeasurable.

Preliminary numbers have us raising around 62 thousand dollars which is close to double what we raised last year.

We want to send a huge thank you out to everyone who joined us, especially to our sponsors who truly bless us beyond measure and our volunteers who we wouldn't be able to do the tourney without.

God is truly so good!

We will look forward to our 6th annual next year! We would love to see you there!

Today we’re grateful to highlight one of our amazing ministry partners, Team Spray Foam who has stepped in as an Ace Sponsor for our upcoming 5th Annual Firehouse on Freeman Fairway Classic: Sponsored by Kingdom Truss

From the very beginning, it’s been clear that Team Spray Foam is committed to doing things the right way. They bring a level of excellence and craftsmanship to their work that shows up in every project they touch. Through their connection with Generational Buildings they provide spray foam insulation that strengthens structures while creating more efficient, comfortable, and lasting environments for families and homeowners.

What makes this partnership even more meaningful to us is the people behind it. Leroy Lisa Troyer, who leads Generational Buildings, has been a tremendous blessing to our ministry over the years. His heart to honor Christ in both business and life is evident in the way he leads, serves, and invests in others. That same heartbeat carries into Team Spray Foam, where his son Trenton Matthew Troyer plays a key role in helping lead and operate the day-to-day work. It’s been a blessing to see that legacy of faith, integrity, and hard work being lived out across generations.

What stands out most about this team is their attention to detail and commitment to excellence. Spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal that improves efficiency, air quality, and long-term performance, and Team Spray Foam takes pride in delivering that at a high level every time.

Their partnership means more than sponsorship. It reflects a shared commitment to excellence, stewardship, and investing in things that truly make a difference. We are incredibly thankful for LeRoy, Trenton, and the entire Team Spray Foam crew for the way they continue to impact lives through both their work and their faith.

Today we’re grateful to highlight one of our new ministry partners, UFP Industries, Inc. who has stepped in as an Eagle Sponsor for our upcoming 5th Annual Firehouse on Freeman Fairway Classic: Sponsored by Kingdom Truss

From the very beginning, their heart to serve and provide quality, dependable products has been evident. UFP Industries has built a reputation of excellence in the way they operate, the way they serve their customers, and the way they show up in the communities they are a part of.

UFP Packaging’s Harrisonville location serves the KC Metro area and highlights offerings such as custom cut lumber, pallets, skids, dunnage, and crates/boxes.

As we’ve gotten to know Nic Frederick we’ve seen that same level of integrity and intentionality lived out on a personal level. It’s not just about business, it’s about people, relationships, and making a real impact where it matters most. What makes this partnership especially meaningful to us is their incredible generosity.

Nic and the team at UFP Industries donated all of the wood for our raised bed garden enclosure out at the farm. That gift is so much more than materials. It is helping us create a space where growth can happen, where responsibility is learned, and where lives can be poured into in a hands-on, meaningful way. That is the heartbeat of our ministry.

Their partnership means more than sponsorship. It reflects a shared mission to invest in people, to build something that lasts, and to be a part of the restoration story that God is writing through this work.
We are incredibly thankful for Nic, UFP Industries, and the way they are using what they’ve been given to make a difference.

Today we’re grateful to highlight one of our incredible ministry partners, Classic Buildings, LLC, who has stepped in as an Eagle Sponsor for our upcoming 5th Annual Firehouse on Freeman Fairway Classic: Sponsored by Kingdom Truss

From the very beginning, their heart has been clear. They desire to run a business that glorifies God, serves people well, and produces something meaningful in the marketplace. They are intentional about creating a healthy work environment where their team can grow both personally and financially, and they pursue excellence in every building they create.

As we’ve come to know Kenneth, Abigail, and the entire Classic Buildings family over the years, we’ve seen these values lived out in a real and authentic way. It’s not just something they say, it’s who they are.

What many may not know, and one of the reasons they are so near and dear to our hearts, is their willingness to give people a second chance. They intentionally hire individuals who have faced difficult seasons and offer them a fresh start. They invest in them, train them, and walk alongside them as they rebuild their lives and teach them a craft that they can use to provide for their families.

That is the heartbeat of our ministry.

Their partnership means more than sponsorship. It reflects a shared mission to love, serve, and restore hope and they have become some of our closest friends over the years. So much so that Kenneth and Abigail have served on our board of directors for the ministry for the past 8 years.

And on a practical note, they truly do exceptional work. The shed that houses our food pantry, a children’s playhouse, a raised bed out at the farm and even our chicken coop were all built by their team, and they are just as strong and dependable today as the day they were delivered.

Kenneth and Classic Buildings have also joined a trio of organizations that have come on board for our Rapha Hall and barn restoration projects out at On Eagle's Wings Farm.

We are incredibly thankful for Classic Buildings and the way they continue to impact lives, both through their work and through their faith.
