POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING 2027:

Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we will be delaying our No Hero Left Behind Retreat until the spring. We will hopefully have the dates posted in the near future.

Please let me know if you would like to stay on our list of those pre-registered and would like to receive updates regarding the retreat. I know that this is not an ideal situation, and we did not take the decision lightly. However, at the end of the day, we wanted to be able to put an excellent retreat together and decided that delaying until the spring was our best course of action.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Otherwise, we will see you this spring!

It is official and we met for the first time today to put an amazing retreat together for our veterans at Renew Therapeutic Riding Center! More details coming soon, but for now, here is your “save the date” card.

West Michigan Veterans: Our next group will be in the beautiful city of Holland at Renew Therapeutic Riding Center. We will meet on Wednesdays, starting on August 19, 2026 to discuss several topics- including PTSD, moral injuries, forgiveness, and setting up support systems. This is not a Bible study, but rather, a support group with a Christian foundation. Regardless of your background, we invite you to come and check it out! If you have any questions, feel free to message us here or at matt@thefobministries. Otherwise, the link for signing up will be in the comments.

Tomorrow marks exactly one year from the time we submitted our paperwork to become official, so we’re counting that as our starting date. What a ride it has been! We launched our first group on January 6, 2026, and we haven’t looked back!

These numbers don’t tell the full story, as it doesn’t track all of the conversations at different events and hours poured in. It also doesn’t track how deep some of these conversations have gone and how profoundly impacted some people were. Numbers are one measurement, but not the best measurement, and we are thankful for every single person that we have been able to meet in this first year.

Thank you to all of you who have supported us by volunteering, praying, and given financially. We are looking forward to building on these numbers and reaching even more people with your continued support!
