Heather Anne's Story
Dave & Heather Anne, Sarah, Katie, and John David
Military ministries has always been near and dear to my heart since it was through this dynamic, life-changing ministry that I met my husband, and together we grew in our walk with Christ while participating and being connected to the Hospitality House in Bamberg, Germany.
So, when we moved to Fort Riley last year, our 5th duty station in the Army, we were delighted to learn about the Ingalls family and the local ministry of the Rivendell House. My family and I felt connected to the Ingalls family immediately, and the love, hospitality, and powerful Bible teaching they provide has blessed my family and me immensely. I know that I have personally grown in my knowledge of who God is and who He wants me to be because of the in-depth Bible teaching at the Rivendell House.
We all look forward to Friday nights at the Ingalls each week (it's one of our most favorite places to be!), and we enjoy wonderful, encouraging fellowship - we don't want to leave! God is certainly pouring out His blessings through this fantastic ministry and is using the Ingalls family to help transform lives for His glory.

Lindsey Coffman's Story
We found Rivendell House right before my husband Robert deployed. For nine months, it was my refuge for biblical adult fellowship in the midst of a week of caring for four little ones all the time by myself. When my husband returned, Larry was a mentor for him, praying with him and us during his difficult transition back, jobs losses, homelessness, miscarriages, hospital visits, and a new baby being born. There is not enough space here to share all the ways we were ministered to by the Ingalls family.
We loved being involved with Rivendell House for the great gospel centered teaching and edifying relationships. Our children made meaningful friendships there and we made lifelong friendships with the adults. We praise God and thank Him often for this ministry.
