Tim and Cyndy married in March, 1991 and knew their paths had not crossed just to live happily ever after. They knew there were deeper purposes for their enriched lives. Together they set out to find those purposes and did so through much thought, counsel, and courage. Throughout these pages you will find what gives them satisfaction and vision as they walk down their path of destiny.
This past year, 2011, was extremely busy for us. We bought a small farmstead outside of Searsboro, Iowa. Check out the page that hosts the pictures of our place. If we wanted to keep up with the existing and expanding sales of our products, we needed more ground. In order to expand our outreaches at home and abroad, we needed more space and buildings.
It took a leap of faith and sense of adventure that has brought us to this time of our lives. We received the desires of our hearts with this farm. Tim’s silent desire to have his own pond filled with crappie came to fruition. I fancied a brick home, which I got. The property came with several outbuildings that we will use for our outreaches in working with youth and skills training participants. We are happy!
Our vision to do the work we have listed on our nonprofit website is closer to expansion and completion. We have many outreaches, which we use our own resources and the donations.
Through Life Messages, Tim and Cyndy organize job skills training and mentorship for returning veterans, re-entrants, troubled youth, and the unemployed in Iowa. Visit the other pages of this website that describe our programs and other outreaches we have around the world.
We encourage every person, who has gone through a divorce and faced exes restricting visitation rights of their children, to get involved with troubled youth in some type of volunteer work. It helps alleviate anxieties and pain while waiting for reconciliation with their own children, which can take a couple of decades to happen. Volunteer positions can be found in churches, schools, or boys and girls clubs throughout America.
