Come learn.
Leave ready to share.
The Gathering Place.
The past two years have been quite an adventure. Our faith has been stretched and deepened. God has accomplished what only He can. In May of 2022, our home lease was terminated due to area development. We were surprised by this but knew God was not. With no other housing available, we fully trusted God to supply us with housing and a temporary place to stay. We knew He was not calling us back to the States, so we sought His will and watched Him work. He was so faithful and provided us with land. It was undeveloped; We had never done anything like this, but God provided the people and the means to accomplish His will. The days were long and hard. Many lessons were learned in patience and endurance. God revealed much about His sovereignty and character, and we learned much about ourselves. Our faith grew, and our relationship with Him and each other deepened in unimaginable ways.
God began revealing his plans for ministry on the land he provided. We named the land “The Gathering Place” (TGP). Our vision for TGP is for people to gather together, come learn, and leave ready to share. God has brought many people together during our time at TGP. What a joy it has been to watch Him continue to work during the development of TGP. - Stan & Angie

Phase I
Land & Home Development
(Completed)In 2022–2023, God provided the funds to begin developing the land and building a home.
A road was built, a well drilled, fencing installed, and plumbing and a septic system completed. A container home and guard house were constructed, with both solar power and a connection to the Lesotho electricity grid secured.
God not only provided the right connections but also opened new doors for ministry.
Total Cost: $300,000
Total Raised: $300,000 -
Phase II
Classroom & Guest Accommodations
(In Process)God has given us the vision to build a classroom where the Basotho can gather for biblical training—offering theological education for pastors and leaders, Bible teaching for children, women’s ministry, trauma healing, discipleship intensives, soccer outreach, and evangelism through English, cooking, and sewing classes.
We also plan to build guest rooms to host volunteers, missionaries, and Basotho attending training or needing short-term shelter.
The third structure in Phase II is a traditional Basotho rondavel, designed as a peaceful retreat for visiting partners or missionaries in need of rest.
Total Cost: $100,000
Raised: $80,000
Remaining: $20.000
(Classroom $45k, Guest Accommodations $35k, Rondavel $20k) -
Phase III
Fields of Hope
(In Process)We plan to purchase additional fields next to The Gathering Place to help meet the needs of local Basotho families. This year, we launched a pilot agricultural project in our existing fields—growing potatoes, cabbage, pumpkin, beets, and corn.
Please join us in prayer as we seek God’s direction for future developments and ministry opportunities in these fields.
Total Cost: $30,000
Total Raised: $0
