A little behind-the-scenes peek at Charlie during our calendar photo shoot! 📸 Such a handsome guy… and we can’t wait for you to see his Christmas photo! 🎄

Charlie has been a blessing from the minute he stepped off the trailer. Within five minutes, he was headed with us to respond to flooding in West Virginia....a quick introduction to life as a Mission Mule!

We’re so thankful for the family who felt led to share Charlie with us and continues to follow all his good work. ❤️

Learn more about Charlie and our Adopt-A-Mule program at MissionMules.org, and preorder your 2027 Mission Mules Calendar! Orders are open now, with shipping beginning in early November. Every purchase helps keep the team ready for the next call!

Lil’ Wayne thought he was being sneaky when he found the Mule City Specialty Feeds, Inc stash in the “Iron Mule”….... but we caught him in the act! 📸😂

We can hardly blame him.....every mule at the ranch loves this specially formulated feed! We’re proud to feed it and thankful to have Mule City Specialty Feed as a partner in keeping our hardworking herd nourished and ready for the trail. ❤️

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Isaiah 6:8

The Creator of heaven and earth invites ordinary people to be part of His work, and that should fill us with both humility and joy. May we live each day with willing hearts, grateful for the opportunity to serve the One who has done so much for us.

Building relationships during blue skies so we’re better prepared to serve when they turn gray! ⛅️

Mission Mules is proud to have been included in the North Carolina Emergency Management Association (NCEMA) Fall Conference in Greenville, NC!

Connecting with emergency management professionals, strengthening partnerships, and learning how we can better work together are all important parts of being ready when disaster strikes.

❤️ A SMALL NEED THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE! ❤️

Mission Mules has received a special request from elementary schools in McDowell County, West Virginia, and we’re hoping our amazing supporters can help!

The schools need girls’ leggings and boys’ jogger pants to stock their student care closets.

Whether it’s an accident, a spill, torn clothing, or simply pants that no longer fit, these care closets allow school staff to provide children with clean, comfortable clothing when they need it most.

For families facing financial hardships, even these basic necessities can be a challenge.

Will you help us fill this need?

🛒 Shop our Amazon list! Purchase leggings or joggers, and they’ll ship directly to Mission Mules for delivery to the schools!

Sometimes sharing God’s love is as simple as providing a clean pair of pants so a child can return to class feeling comfortable, confident, and cared for.

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one child at a time! ❤️

Prepared. Positioned. ON STANDBY.

As Hurricane Isaias approached, Mission Mules went into action, strategically positioning our mule team in Georgia, while conducting assessments in Alabama, and relocating to SC, to be ready for potential impacts in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina.

We also had a Rapid Assessment Team traveling through the night across the WNC mountains, checking vulnerable areas and potential needs. A third team has been on standby with side-by-sides and supplies to know which direction they may need to support.

We’ve remained in communication with emergency management officials throughout the affected regions.

All THREE Mission Mules teams are now on STANDBY, ready to respond wherever we’re needed.

Disaster response isn’t always about what you see. It’s also about the preparation, long hours, countless miles, and coordination that happen behind the scenes.

We pray we’re not needed, but we’re prepared if we are!

Thank you to our volunteers, donors, and supporters who make it possible for us to GET READY and STAY READY!

🙏 Please continue praying for everyone impacted by this storm.

Mules carry the load. Volunteers carry the mission.
