Syndeo Discipleship School

Tell Us More...

Picture
The Syndeo Ministries Team moved onto Syndeo Ranch in 2016, living for 5 years in the main house while renovating it and beginning the construction on the bunkhouse.

The vision for Syndeo Discipleship School (SDS) began while Hannah was still in prison. God had begun a ministry with Bible Studies in the prison where Hannah was, and that Bible Study  program  continues today with over 1000 women participating at various times.

But the ministry vision  doesn't stop there! God showed Hannah and the rest of the team His heart for the women...and that included a safe place for them to go home to.  The Syndeo Ministries  team has been preparing for this school since the beginning. And we are so excited about all that God is doing! When we were working on the curriculum, we were actually surprised at how easily it came together. God guided us in the selection of all of the courses. Plus,  He is bringing together a team of God-loving leaders to mentor and disciple the women who
will participate in the school. It is so neat to watch Him move. Because it is all Him. In His timing, He has brought it all about.  Please keep us in your  prayers.  Our desire at every step is to follow God’s direction,  to be filled with His heart of love, to serve as He serves, and to fulfill the vision He began.


During the first two years, we have been limiting the number of women to a maximum of 8-10. Starting smaller means that each lady can get more one on one discipleship time. Plus, a small number will be better as we "work out the kinks." Some of these first students have already chosen to stay on as mentors for the classes that will follow.

The first students are living in the main house. Once the bunkhouse is complete, more students can be accepted. The Overtons and Debi  moved from Syndeo Ranch to our Phase Two property in 2021. We call it the Syndeo Family Center, ​and it's a beautiful 17-acre location that houses staff.  Some buildings are still in the construction phase. 

The Family Center is also the location of our offices and many of the classes. And at the moment, we also hold our church services there in our office/multipurpose room. But are outgrowing the space  already and have plans to build a church building. In fact, the foundation has recently been poured, and building will begin once the bunkhouse is completed.
​

We believe that God has  good plans for all of our lives, and for each and every women who will be a part of SDS. “‘For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” (Jeremiah 29:11) 
​


Syndeo Discipleship School (SDS) is located on Syndeo Ranch in the piney woods of East Texas. We are a Christian organization with the desire to “Remember those in prison as if we were bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being ourselves also in the body.” (Hebrews 13:3) The SDS team is dedicated to aftercare, training and discipleship. Our discipleship program is two years in length​ (with a one-year initial commitment), and is filled with power-packed courses consisting of Bible Study, counseling, classroom instruction, practical applications, and ministry involvement.

Construction Update

Where are we at in the construction of the bunkhouse?

We just completed the plumbing. Tiling of the showers is the main project left to be completed. Since there are many bathrooms, there is a lot of tiling. Any help on the tiling would be very much appreciated. 

Once the tiling is complete, we still need some shelving built for the bunks and then the bunks need to be painted.

The bathroom in the mentor's room needs to be completed, a tub installed, and tiling finished.

The outside of the bunkhouse needs another coat of pain. And then a punchlist of other items still needs to be completed.

If you are interested in working with us to finish the bunkhouse, we would be thrilled to have you.

OUR MINISTRY IS BASED ON THIS VERSE
Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them!
Hebrews 13:3 NIV
Website lovingly created by: Amy Allen Designs
SYNDEO  (Greek) Bound with them
This word has two meanings:
1. bound in chains; to a prisoner, as a prisoner
2. bound, connected in heart, as all believers should be
