Westview Boys' Home is located in Hollis, Oklahoma. They have a successful history of providing Christian hospitality to young men from kindergarten through high school age. Young men who are neglected, rejected, abused, or troubled find their doors open to provide a safe place to discover growth and healing. Their 1,600 acre ranch has been the space where these young men remain to explore new possibilities and find new futures. As they prepare to go out into the world, they discover that they have acquired both resources and hope for resilient, productive adult lives. Their goal for their time with WVBHis balance - a time for responsibilities and a time for play - a time to work and a time to worship. This balance helps boys experience a time of growth that might never have been possible if not for God's work through Westview Boys' Home.
The Battle Mountain congregation has routinely supported "Team Farr" within the Wycliffe Bible translation program. After completing their first term in Alotau, Papua New Guinea as regional center managers (2009-2012), the Farr family relocated to Arlington, TX to serve with Wycliffe's affiliate, Seed Company. Mark worked as a Field Coordinator in South Asia and Kim worked as a writer until 2016 when Mark accepted the leadership of Global Initiatives. They now work together to strengthen indigenous Bible translation organizations, localizing resources and funding to better engage and serve the local Church.
