My Nonprofit Reviews

The day I first met Penny Robichaux I knew she was an answer to prayer. I had learned to love the children who lived at the Thunder Ranch (now known as Jacob's House) and had been praying for God to send the perfect person to be a mother to those children. I could tell immediately Penny had a real love for children and had plenty of experience in caring for needy children. After she was settled in, my husband and I went to visit a number of times and we were so touched by the way the children showed their love to Penny and also that they were very well behaved. She is a gift from God to any children that are privileged to spend time with her.

My husband passed away a few years and I don't live in Branson any longer but I have stayed in touch with Penny and her wonderful husband, Dan. I recently went there for a visit and
Dan and a couple of the children were in the kitchen baking desserts for some function they were going to. It looked like a bakery. He is an amazing guy and the kids adore him.

Penny gave me one of her books, "I Thought You Had a Bigger Dream" which tells about Penny's life and how Jacob's House came into being. Everyone should read it. It's a "God story" from beginning to end. This is a great ministry and I cannot say enough positive things about it.
