Review for Jacobs House Inc, Chestnutridge, MO, USA
My name is John Tumino founder and President of In My Fathers Kitchen. We are a Faith Based Nonprofit that helps the homeless and Refugee Community in Syracuse NY. In the early part of 2012 we made a wonderful connection with Jacobs house and Miss Penny and were invited to come down to the Ranch to meet Miss Penny and Love on the children. We arrived at the Ranch and immediately feel in love with the children and the facility. We had the wonderful opportunity to bring down with us one of our Trustees and his wife, they also we struck with the LOVE bug at Jacob's house. Well the plan for the week end was to minister to the children get to know Miss Penny and Brother Dan, Miss Penny had other ideas. Penny arranged for IMFK to do a food presentation tied to a Gospel message and the Children from Jacob's house would feed the poor of that community. The children were so excited to help the less fortunate of the area. While we sat back and observed the children in action is when it dawned on us that they had all forgot about there own personal struggles. The wonderful thing about Jacob's house is that it brings into the Child's life a sense of purpose and Destiny. When you commit your plans to the Lord your thoughts will be established! We understood now by seeing first hand that Jacob's house mission is to bring value back into a Childs heart. The fact that the majority of the children enter with no sense of self worth but by rallying together in Christ and with vision put in their heart nothing is impossible. Well needless to say that while we were there for a week end our hearts were in turned changed as well. As Miss Penny Says the Land at Jacob's House is teaming with LIFE! The life of Christ! We would like to say that Jacob's House is a place were the presence of God descends and that true transformation happens to ALL who step on the Land. We would encourage anyone to lock arms with the vision of Jacob's and in turn you will Taste and see that the Lord is Good!
Sincerely,
John Tumino

Thanks so much John for your review and all that you deposited in the children while here. Not only did we have fun feeding those who were hungry in our community together, you left that Italian love forever on the ranch. I love when the kids whip up your recipe for fettuccini Alfredo! We did taste and see that The Lord is good. Blessings, Penny and the gang
