I see Ken and the Free Range Mission addressing an urgent need in a very effective way. The urgent need is the spiritually disconnected state of too many of God’s people. So many churches today offer sermons, but little conversation; truth, but minimal relationship or community. I see the Free Range Pastor as a modern day missionary enterprise offering conversation, care and community to those who are un-churched, de-churched, and under-churched. My monthly investment in the ministry of the Free Range Pastor is deeply rewarding because I see it making a difference in the lives of those who had not previously found life-giving connection in the Church. I see onlookers becoming re-engaged. - Pastor Gerrit Gustafson

Being a young adult in a city where there are so many churches at our disposal, it’s been so easy to fall through the cracks and not ever actually connect with people at church. I love how relational the free range mission is and how it organically creates multi-generational connections. I have always felt known and cared for in the environments that Ken has created for people to gather together. I think so many of us are looking for community and it can sometimes be hard to find in a church setting. It’s really nice to have access to what the free range mission is offering to us whether we are attending a church or not. I also really love how easy it is to invite people into it because it’s such a welcoming environment. Ken and his whole family live and breathe hospitality. It was truly the highlight of my weeks during the last WILCO PM sessions that were hosted in their home. People were very comfortable there and I think because of that, conversations and connections were able to happen so easily. I’ve been so thankful for the relationships that have come out of this mission so far and will continue to support this! - Taylor S, WILCO PM Participant, Former Franklin Fellow, Young Adult

For the nourishment of the body. The body of Christ is not limited to a particular building or denomination on Sunday morning. The body encompasses a multi-ethnic vast array of broken humans at various seasons and stages of life.  Some hurting, some alone, and many adrift and mistrustful from past church communities. What a blessing to have a gift such as Ken, who is able to be a pastor to such as these.  - Adam Seger

With moral, ethical, and social values being constantly attacked and male loneliness being at an all-time high, the world needs TFRP to restore Christian values and Christian male fellowship.

The un-churched and de-churched need someone like TFRP to engage and re-engage their hearts and minds with the Gospel. The modern church is struggling to engage this population in what is becoming a post-Christian society. TFRP is just the right pioneer in this Gospel rich opportunity. - Churchman, Business Owner, Local Deacon, Scott Greenwood
