 OUR MISSION AND GOAL

Kneel At The Cross and Witness Cube are ministries and concepts the Lord placed on my heart in response to my prayer for guidance and provision to build a boys’ ranch in Elba, Alabama. This vision was born out of a desire to help orphaned, abused, and homeless teenage boys who desperately need hope, stability, and a loving home. According to current statistics, there are nearly 6,000 children in Alabama without a home. While I may not be able to help every child, with God’s guidance and the support of others, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of many. This ministry will be called SHILOH BOYS RANCH. Our mission is to provide these young men with a safe, faith-centered environment where they can grow spiritually, emotionally, and personally. Through strong Biblical teaching, solid work ethics, mentorship, and practical life skills training, we will prepare them for successful and productive futures in the real world.

ABOUT OUR FOUNDERS - KEN & PATSY ENGLISH

My name is Ken English and my wife is Patsy. I am an ordained, retired Baptist minister, educator, and coach who has had the privilege of pastoring several Southern Baptist churches throughout south Alabama. I am also a published author. My book, MORE COMMON SENSE, focuses on restoring Biblical values in America and reaffirming the constitutional principles and freedoms so wisely established by our nation’s founding fathers.  After years of ministry and service, the Lord made it clear to me that He still had one more mission for my life — a mission to reach and minister to a forgotten and neglected group within our society: orphaned, abused, and homeless teenage boys. That calling has led to the vision of SHILOH BOYS RANCH, a place where young men can find hope, guidance, stability, and the love of Christ. My mission is clear, but I cannot accomplish it alone. My wife and I are asking for the prayers, support, and partnership of Christians across all 50 states as we work together to change lives and build a brighter future for these young men.

ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

All of the products featured on our website are handmade, original works of art and woodcrafts created by our family. From start to finish, each piece is crafted with care, dedication, and a personal touch — even our grandchildren proudly help in creating these one-of-a-kind items for your home.  What makes our products truly unique are the striking designs that resemble lightning naturally burned into the wood. These intricate patterns are created through a rare and highly dangerous process known as Lichtenberg fracturing, which involves passing up to 10,000 volts of electricity through the wood to produce beautiful, never-duplicated designs.  When you purchase one of our handcrafted crosses or wood creations, you are not only adding a meaningful and distinctive piece of décor to your home, but you are also making a bold statement of your faith. Most importantly, your support helps provide funding for the mission and ministry of SHILOH BOYS RANCH, where we are working to give hope, guidance, and a brighter future to orphaned, abused, and homeless teenage boys.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:  THE FOUR P'S

We are asking Christians everywhere to join us in supporting this mission through what we call the FOUR Ps:

1. PRAY
   Please pray for this ministry and for the young lives we hope to reach through SHILOH BOYS RANCH. We firmly believe that with God, all things are possible.
2. PURCHASE
   Purchase one or more of our handcrafted crosses and Witness Cubes. Every item is handmade with purpose, and every purchase helps support the mission of providing hope and a home for orphaned, abused, and homeless teenage boys.
3. POST
   Help us spread the word by sharing our website and mission with your Christian friends, churches, and family members. Our goal is to place the Witness Cube in all 50 states and reach as many people as possible with the message of Christ.
4. PUT THE WITNESS CUBE TO USE
   Carry the Witness Cube with you in your pocket or purse and use it as a tool to share your faith and lead others to Christ. Sometimes a simple conversation can change a life forever.

MESSAGE TO ALL BELIEVERS

If you are already a born-again believer in Christ, we encourage you to invest in one or more Witness Cubes and use them as tools to share your faith with others. Far too many Christians attend church faithfully each week yet never share the Gospel, never witness to others, and never explain how a person can receive eternal life through Jesus Christ.  As believers, we are not only called to worship — we are called to witness. God gave the first Ten Commandments through Moses, as recorded in Exodus 20:3–17. But our Lord Jesus Himself also gave His followers what many refer to as the “Great Commission” in Matthew 28:19–20 — a direct command to every believer: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

THE WITNESS CUBE

The Witness Cube is a simple yet powerful tool designed to make sharing your faith both easy and enjoyable. Whether you are speaking with a friend, coworker, family member, or even a stranger, the cube helps guide meaningful conversations about salvation and the hope found in Jesus Christ.  To learn how to use the Witness Cube effectively, please watch my instructional video found here.  The Witness Cube was created to help Christians confidently begin conversations about faith and clearly share the message of the Gospel with those who may not know Christ. By carrying one in your pocket or purse, you can always be prepared to encourage others, answer questions about salvation, and lead someone toward a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION YOU WILL EVER MAKE...

MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED AND HAVE NEVER MADE A PUBLIC PROFESSION OF FAITH, please allow me to tell you how to be saved and receive eternal life. According to Romans 3:23 “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."  Romans 6:23 informs us that "the wages of sin is death."  Now the Bible is not only talking about a physical death, but more importantly about spiritual death. But this same scripture tells us the good news that the gift of God is eternal life. SO, HOW DO YOU OBTAIN ETERNAL LIFE?  The Bible answers that question in Romans 10:9 where we are told that "if we will confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our hearts that God has raised him from the dead , we shall be saved."
