From Idaho/Missouri Homesteaders to International Sustainability Ambassadors

Tom and Sarah are currently ministering in Europe with their 3 children and are working to establish a more permanent presence specifically in the UK, where God is leading them to create an international learning center for believers.
This learning center will provide opportunities for students to learn practical hands-on skills that will improve their ability to live sustainably and support their families and communities. They will also learn family relationship skills and develop in areas of highly effective intercessory prayer and advanced spiritual warfare.
Tom trained as a missionary pilot and aircraft mechanic and worked training other future missionary pilot/mechanics before turning his attention to developing and teaching family relationship skills, and the study and practice of sustainable hands-on skills of all kinds.
He became proficient in a wide range of abilities from mechanical repair to home construction and renovation, permaculture gardening and regenerative agriculture, alternative energy systems, natural health, and practical levels of electrical, plumbing, and metal fabrication. He invented and published DIY Plans for an off-grid manually-operated log splitter and his design is now being replicated in home workshops all over the world.
Tom excels at learning a subject or skill very deeply, and then being able to turn around and effectively teach it to others in a clear and simple manner. He has helped thousands of people around the world learn hands-on skills using his YouTube channel and online courses.
Sarah grew up on the mission field in the Philippines, and during college used her home as a ministry center, ministering to girls who needed a safe place and encouragement. She studied teaching in college and home-educates their 3 children.
Tom and Sarah are very entrepreneurial and have owned various businesses, as well as helping encourage and train others in areas of self-employment and marketing.
They are homesteaders at heart and in their international travels are constantly helping people in their gardens, farms, and properties.
Not many families drive from country to country with a Gorilla Cart and Broadfork strapped to the roof of their van. But the Wylies do. : )
In early 2024, God led the Wylies to sell their Missouri homestead, pay off debts, and move to Europe as nomadic homesteaders.
They've now been on this adventure for nearly 2 years, living in a Caravan (camper trailer) and Sprinter Van. They've helped families and home fellowships in Portugal, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and have travelled as far as Albania.

They are heavily involved in Almond House Fellowship near Liverpool, England, and are currently heading up a project to teach gardening and sustainability skills within the local Fellowship while improving and taking care of an Allotment Garden.
Almost all of their funding to date has come out of their own pockets from the sale of their home in the States, as well as their primary business, Heirlooms Evermore Seed Co. that God told them to pass on to their Idaho neighbor and business manager. They have also been blessed by occasional donations from friends and family members.
Your donation to help support the Wylies will empower them to continue the work they're doing to encourage and equip local believers, teach skills to their worldwide online audience, and continue working toward the launch of the new International Learning Center in the UK.
