Welcome to Mission to Amish People

 

Remembering Dalton Keim

William and Jenica KeimOn May 10th, we buried our two year old nephew, the son of my brother William (former Amish) and his wife Jenica.

When we first heard that Dalton passed away, it made little sense and was almost unbearable to accept. 

Dalton (front right), two years old, was mischievous and had no fear.  His mother was cooking a wild turkey on the stove, which had been boiling in water for four to five hours and as the family eagerly waited for the turkey to get done, little Dalton was behind his mother at the oven and tried to pull himself up by the oven door handle. When he did that, the whole oven tipped forward and all the hot water poured down over his body. William and Jenica just moved into this fully applianced house less than two months ago and had no idea that the oven was not anchored down and the oven could tip.

So quickly, joy and excitement turned into sorrow and heartache. Fourteen hours after the tragedy and hundreds of prayers from the heart, God chose to take the precious little guy home to Glory Land.

About 900 people came out for the viewing and another 400 attended the funeral.

As you might imagine, the journey that William and Jenica are on right now has not been an easy one to travel.  Therefore, I would like to encourage you to take five minutes and leave them a short message of encouragment. By clicking on "Leave Message for William and Jenica Keim" you will be able to send them a message directly to their email inbox.

Counseling Needs of the Amish and former Amish

More and more Amish and former Amish people are showing up for emergency help. Sometimes, they need shelter and food, while at other times, they may require medical help, counseling and protection. It is for these and many other reasons that MAP has set up a special checking account called the Benevolent Fund. If you feel led of the Lord to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

My Journey to Freedom

by Mattie Mullet

Mattie Mullet was born and raised Amish, but at the age of 51, she did the unthinkable; she left everything she had ever known. And, as she would say, “I could not have done it, had it not been for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

This book is not fictional; it is the true story of what one woman, Mattie Mullet, had to go through in order to follow her Savior.

Please consider buying the book from the following sellers: Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Google Books. You will be glad you did.

You have to be Amish to become ex-Amish

KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- It appears KTVO and our viewers were mislead by man we interviewed earlier this week. Since our story aired Tuesday, we have learned that a local man who had claimed to be ex-Amish is not ex-Amish afterall. As we had told you, Curtis Deierling of Kirksville appears in a couple of episodes of the National Geographic Channel's series, "Amish: Out of Order."
