The Living Well

Serving in Disaster Areas Across the US

Our Story

"19 years ago I stepped out in faith to pursue a dream of working for the Lord; to work on people's hearts through their homes. In this time I have been able to use my construction skills, talents, and faith in Jesus to serve locally and internationally.

God has led me on a new journey. I have sold my home and purchased a travel trailer to be able to relocate to areas of need following natural disasters."
- Randy Beadle, Project Director of The Living Well

Our Impact

The mission of The Living Well is to come alongside churches, organizations, and the local community, sharing knowledge of project management and building skills to help restore homes and communities across the US.

There is a brokenness after losing everything from natural disasters. Our intention is to impact the lives and hearts of others with the living well of Christ instilling love, joy, peace, patience, and above all, hope.

Through partnerships with churches and organizations, we will be inviting mission trip teams to join us in the rebuilding process.

Join us in restoring homes and offering hope after natural disasters.

"Jesus, who died for us, is always there to take away pain and brokenness. His sacrifice gives us eternal hope of a future and restoration in our lives now and forever."

A plant hanger made from debris. I have been living my dream of working on people's heart's and I see the fruit of the spirit pouring out of me as a vessel of The Living Well.

It is nice to see such a strong Christian community that are involved in each other's lives.

There is so much more happening here than I ever imagined possible. In Perry there not only was a natural disaster (hurricane Idalia), but there was also a announcement 10 days later that the wood pulp mill would be closing effecting the jobs of close to 1000 people in the town with only 8000 people. A very devastating blow to an already poor economy.

Meeting new friends. The materials a local woman was using (broken cinder blocks) are not unlike what God does with our brokenness. It was being turned into something beautiful. I look forward to more time with these new friends.

There're free range chickens here that hadn't been laying eggs since the hurricane, so Hunter and I are praying over the area every day along with coverage from our prayer team. 4 days after we started praying the chickens have started to lay a few.

Last August hurricane Idalia struck a small town (Perry) in northern Florida. I made some calls and talked with a few people; last Sunday I began this journey.

Arrival in Perry, Florida. From what I've seen there is a lot of tree damage and tarped roofs. Some structural but not a great deal of that. Planning on continuing to connect with locals and help make a difference in the lives of those touched by this hurricane.

The campground is full of relief workers and thanks to my solar power I was able to get a site with water and sewer....no electric needed.

For those of you that know of Hunters dislike of travel, I'm happy to say I think he handled it very well and I think he's probably glad we've been stationary a few days.
