Meet the Founding Ministers

Larry and Jeanine met while serving as missionaries on board the Mercy Ship Anastasis in 1989. Larry was in the  6- month YWAM Discipleship Training Program. And Jeanine was on the short-term medical missionary team as a Physical Therapist Assistant. They married one year later and settled on the east coast of Florida, where they raised three children and were very active leaders in their Church serving as Missions Directors, Nursery and Preschool Directors, ministers, fully immersed in the drama and worship team. They went on several mission trips, home schooled their three children, and sent them on mission trips as well. While in FL, God gave them the vision for Restoration Ranch, so they sold their FL home and moved to Northwest Arkansas and purchased 101 Acres on top of a mountain. Larry and Jeanine are both ordained ministers, and have dedicated their lives to helping others in their walk with Christ.  For the past 20 years the Palazzi family has hosted many outreach events including Camp N Climbs, rock climbing, repelling, campfires, horseback riding, weekend youth retreats and camp outs, lake outings, cleanup events, seasonal parties, weddings, and festivities at their ranch. Now, their children are all grown and living independent lives. Currently Larry and Jeanine host residents in their private home. The Palazzi's, eager to fulfill the vision God has assigned them, have plans to build a campus across 30 acres to facilitate housing, equipping, ministry and training. Phase one is building the Creator's Workshop, cabins for more people to come and receive ministry and training, building stables for the horsemanship division, and reception lodge, developing the garden, orchard, greenhouse and grounds. Please see our Campus Plans page for descriptions of each building.

 

Now in their senior years, the Palazzi's are looking for a hard-working team of  like-minded Christians to come along side them to make this vision a reality.
