Jonathan And Rachel DeFord
Jonathan and Rachel both are blessed to have grown up in homes where they were taught what it means to live as a believer in Jesus Christ. Ever since they were married in 2004, they have wanted to live as "missionaries" in their everyday life. That goal has been their focus wherever the Lord has placed their family.
Jonathan graduated from Cornerstone Bible Institute in 2005. He has a deep passion for teaching God's word. Horses has always been an interest and love for Jonathan and Rachel as both have been training horses ever since high school. Rachel has been instructing horsemanship for 19 years. The couple was in charge of the horse program at Trails End Ranch, Ekalaka, MT for six years teaching horsemanship camps and managing the ranch program. They use their horse experience to teach Biblical truth through horsemanship. Their kids are growing up and starting families of their own. April got married in August of 2026, Tucker is getting married in November, and Sage in February of 2027. Samantha is a Junior in high school and enjoys helping her folks with the ministry, training horses, and participating in sports.
“Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.”
