Meet Scott and Karen. They sold their home in 2024 and set off in their RV after feeling called by the Lord to simplify their lives. After a year on the road, they were looking for something different. As they pressed into the Lord, they met a couple at a campground who encouraged them to look into Sowers and Angeles Crest ended up being their first Sowers project! During their time at Angeles Crest, they built bathroom benches, replaced baseboards, drywall patching, electrical work and painting. You can even see some of the projects Scott and Karen did on her YouTube channel.

Karen said, “We really felt like part of the family! We have shared many meals with the staff, some at their house too! We have played games and shared many stories during this month”.

Meet Jim & Mari who have been married 21 years and have 5 kids & 13 grandchildren. They came from an engineering & IT background and when they retired, they took their friends’ advice, who had been Sowers for 3 years, and became Sowers themselves. They served at Angeles Crest for 3 months and in that time completed many projects. Some highlights were building the octagon swing, finishing the siding on Ponderosa, sewing 16 very large curtains, electrical work and much more.

When asked what working at Angeles Crest was like, Mari said, “We loved our beautiful view, but the best part was meeting new people & making forever friends. We were included in everything and felt like family. We enjoyed working alongside others to accomplish amazing goals”.
