"Opening the gates to freedom and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
2 Corinthians 3:17
Galatians 5:22
...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Update from Our President Michael Simpson
When I was 19, I met a man named Dennis Blake. He told me of a dream he had to start a boys ranch for young men with no hope to experience safety, love, and a relationship with Christ. I was convinced that, in some way, I was called to be a part of this ministry. I began mentoring and working with his foster sons and was so moved by watching these young men be transformed by the unconditional love that they were shown. I never would have believed that 9 years later I would have the privilege to serve as the full time president and houseparent of this ministry. Many things have changed. We now are an established organization with an amazing program. We now work with young men and their families long term. We have a beautiful campus that is expanding constantly. What hasn't changed is the passion we have for young men to show them that life can be amazing, they can heal from the hurts that they have experienced, and they have a God in heaven that loves them more than can be expressed. Since November 2019 My wife, myself, and my 2 sons have been serving as surrogate family for FGBR, and since March of 2020 I have served as full time president. This change in my life has been a great challenge but with great blessings. With the continued favor of God we will grow FGBR and continue to help young men heal and grow into men of uncompromising character.

With the recent outbreak of covid-19, we have temporarily shut down our campus. That does not mean we aren't staying busy. You can find us camping on the weekends and working on different projects around campus when we are not in class. We are enjoying having hands on construction classes, as well as agriculture and cooking classes. With schools shutting down for the time being it was in God's timing and this too shall pass. Here are a few pictures of some of the cool projects we have accomplished during this time of shut down.
