A Sacrificial Gift: Caleb’s Story and the Land Campaign

Caleb’s Story and the Land Campaign

A Testimony That Moved Us

When we first watched the video of Caleb sharing his heart, we were deeply moved. Caleb was not just our operations manager—he was a friend, a son in the faith, and someone who had walked with Russ in discipleship for more than five years. He lived and breathed the ministry, knowing that everything we did belonged to Jesus and was for His glory.

In a powerful act of faith, Caleb personally donated to the Land Campaign Fund. To the world, his gift of $20 USD might have seemed small compared to the $500,000 goal. But to Caleb and his family, it was sacrificial. They gave up something of their own so that they could sow into God’s work.


More Than Just Land

This campaign was never just about buying land. It was about permanence, roots, and legacy.

  • Land to grow food and feed families.

  • Land to build a church and community center.

  • Land to host visitors and share the Word of God.

  • Land that would serve as the foundation for generations of ministry to come.

We knew it was a big ask. We knew the goal could only be reached through a miracle. And we trusted God for that miracle.


A Call to Faith

Caleb’s sacrificial giving reminded us that this was not about equal amounts, but equal faith. His testimony called others to step out and trust God for provision, no matter the size of the gift.

We invited our supporters to join Caleb in this journey of faith—believing together for the miracle of land, and giving all glory to God.
