Transform Us Ministries is pleased to announce we are now recognized by the IRS as a non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization!

This part of our journey began well over a year ago. The process was long and detailed, but we endured.

It is time to begin grant writing as we seek to purchase and develop a 34 acre piece of property in Shepherdsville KY.

We are seeking individuals who would prayerfully consider serving on our Board of Directors. If you feel led to serve in this capacity, please contact Elaine.

Our current Board has developed a Fund-raising Committee who is working diligently to plan events that will generate the financial support we need to move forward in this mission. If you have event idea or feel led to make a financial donation, please contact us via e-mail or phone.

We are full of excitement, appreciation and anticipation as The LORD continues to lead us on this journey!

Won’t you join us?

I am writing as the CEO of TRANSFORM US MINISTRIES. I have been blessed by the interest many of you have taken in my previous and current service in the camp and retreat ministry. As GOD moves me forward in the mission to provide a Christian Bed and Breakfast, year-round camp/retreat facility, retreat and speaking ministries, I recognize a great need for my brothers and sisters to partner with me.

“Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labor. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble.”
Ecc. 4:9-10 NLT

Daily I continue to carry out the vision GOD gave me 20 years ago for such a ministry. I have a wonderful team of brothers and sister in Christ who are partnering with me and a great husband pushing me, nudging me and supporting me as I move forward.

Transform Us Ministries is in need of property, either to lease or to purchase, in order to begin retreat programming this fall. Once property has been obtained, there will be a need for cabins to be built or purchased to be placed on the property available for our use.

Want to know more? Transform Us Ministries’ Board of Directors was formed in January 2010. A list of the Directors names may be seen on this website. I encourage you to navigate the web-site for additional information about the ministry and the team of people currently involved in carrying out this mission. And while you are at it, please check out www.iamwarrior.net the new web-site for my speaking, writing, and retreat planning ministry. And, if you want to know more about me (Because who am I, really?), please check out www.elainefoster.net

Kings Baptist Church of Taylorsville KY., the home church of Neil and Elaine Foster, founders and CEO of Transform Us Ministries, has expressed a desire to partner in this mission. As Transform Us Ministries continues the process of incorporation and recognition by the government as a non-profit organization, Kings Baptist Church (an existing non-profit) is willing to step in by accepting any financial, or other donations being made on behalf of Transform Us Ministries. By donating to Transform Us Ministries through Kings Baptist Church while we await our non-profit status, you may receive tax credit for your donations.

Currently Transform Us Ministries is involved in providing programming for Kings Baptist Church’s first elementary age camp (grades 3-5) coming this July. Until Transform Us Ministries is able to lease or purchase its own property, retreat and summer youth camp, day camp, outdoor education, and fund-raising events will continue to take place at the sites of other existing camp facilities.

Remember, the word “MISSION” is a military term referring to a “special task” or “duty” assigned. I am indeed on a mission! Upon accepting this special mission, I recognize GOD bringing people into my path who have various gifts, abilities, interests, connections and provisions to offer so that I do not have to labor alone. I am thankful for others who have already accepted and embraced the mission to become involved in the work of TRANSFORM US MINISTRIES and these camp, retreat, speaking and writing ministries. Much work is to be done.

I covet your assistance, prayers and spiritual guidance as I carry on and make preparations to serve away from home the summer of 2010. I am on a MISSION!

Ask the animals…

“Ask the animals, and they will teach you.  Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.  Speak to the earth,  and it will instruct you.  Let the fish of the sea speak to you.  They all know that the LORD has done this.  For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of all humanity.”

Job 12:7-10 (NLT)

In the Native American culture, the FROG is a symbol of “transformation”. Beginning its life as an egg, it is born in the form of a tadpole, which then slowly metamorphoses into a frog. The frog symbolizes transformation and growth into more mature ways of living.

The Red-Eyed Tree Frog, as created by HIM, is beautiful, vibrant, and amazing.

We pray that through this ministry, GOD will transform you, into a beautiful, vibrant, and amazing creation!
