Search on UA-cam under Eagle Valley ministries for the video called
The Inheritance Swiss Reconciliation with Amish and Mennonites
Thanks for watching!
I watched your video at the auction for the school. Near the end of the video, Joas was showing a spreadsheet for the work assignments. I started wondering how you and your family have become so comfortable with technology in the short time between your life as old order Amish and today. From Priscilla's fashion and decorating skills to Joas's skills with modern milling and construction equipment, you are very modern. I mean that in a complimentary sense, not a derogatory sense.
I grew up in a seven child home with one bedroom. My parents got the bedroom. The children slept anywhere they could find a bare spot. We had an outhouse, water, but no hot water; and my mother always made my shirts. I got a new pair of Levi blue jeans every year as my Christmas present. It was a great life and it was the result of economic poverty. Your similar lives resulted from religious choice. I appreciate both.
Irregardless of how we grew up, we arrived at the same place in life. I accepted Christ at the age of eight and was baptized at twelve. I regard your videos as an evangelical ministry. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
Thanks for sharing and as far as the observation of how we adapted. Probably over 15 or 20+ years we slowly adapted:-)
You guys are the sweetest couple EVER! I've always been so curious about the Amish, having been born in a mennonite community myself. My family left it when I was only 2 so I know nothing of that life. I love your faith and passion to share Jesus! Please keep making videos!
You both are such a blessing to listen to as speak of the peace, which only comes from trusting in Jesus!
I live by a bunch of Mennonites in Missouri and I lived by Amish and I think you guys are the hardest workers I've ever met
We would love to hear more about you 2003 trip to Switzerland that was life changing. It’s amazing the whole community was able to go there. That story would be very interesting!
I am learning so much about the Amish community that I didn’t know.
Thank you for sharing. By the way you are such a sweet couple 🙂
I grew up just across the Indiana border in Ohio and the Amish were a part of life though they pretty much stayed to themselves. Your sharing opens it up even more. Thank you.❤️
Thank you for sharing your life. The Amish culture has always intrigued me. Love your sense of community and tight family ties. You have a beautiful family! God bless
I would love to come and experience living a Amish life for a week. And learn how to do things, to make my quilts better, the old way . Canning stuff.etc.
I think it’s so important to share with others that although it might not be comfortable, we could all survive without many of the conveniences we currently have. I appreciate your family values and your sharing them on your channel. I grew up on a working dairy farm and my Dad also worked outside of the farm at another full-time job, so I understand being raised with a strong work ethic. It didn’t hurt me whatsoever.
I love how you both are so at ease talking to us. I feel like I'm an old friend sitting in your living room. We too have a belief that is different than others. We have no name, follow the teachings of Jesus and meet in the home every Sunday. Our ministry is like Jesus sent. Thank you so much for sharing our beliefs. I LOVE it all and love your family.
Thank you Stanley!! Blessings!
I admire the Amish ppl and their family values and practices. Thanks for sharing your life and family with us!
We have a Amish Mennonite culture center near us called Be Halt, with a beautiful 360 degree mural highlighting church history. I appreciate learning about different cultures, especially the anabaptists.
I really feel a sense of community when I watch your videos! God bless us all!
Your channel is such a blessing! I so enjoy your videos.
I love these type of videos. You do a great job! Thank you for sharing these stories.
You do an amazing job with your videos!! I truly appreciate your lifestyle and how you grew up. I just found your channel and have been watching and enjoying them so much!! Thank you!!
Looking forward to this video.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for sharing your story! I loved every word you spoke!! It was so interesting! I love it!!!
You both have so much wisdom at such a young age learned a lot about the history of the amish today thank you and God bless
Thank you for the blessings. I added you to my prayer journal.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories!
I so much enjoyed this "thank you so much"
Thank you for sharing! I like the spirit you spoke from while recounting your experiences. I'd seen the title come up often in suggestions but never clicked on it because most similar videos are not presented in love as you did, but more in a spirit of tearing down and discrediting, of focusing on a narrow version of the strictest or most harmful families & communities - which is not even an accurate portrayal as there are variations among all people & families of various same cultures. You said it perfectly when you mentioned you both grew up in safe families. I think you respectfully & accurately explained that. God Bless!
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I love your videos.
The love is so evident between you both as you share your life story! You are exceptionally kind to make these videos and share with us all. The time and energy you take to show us your amazing lifestyle is so appreciated . God Bless your family!
My husband and I love your channel. You are a blessing.
I’ve learned so much from you both . God Bless you and your Family
I always like your videos. You do a good job. Thanks for taking the time to share about your life.

I'm enjoying hearing about your lifestyle, then and now. Blessings!
You are my favorite couple to listen to on UA-cam, I always feel so peaceful and calm listening to you both, better than ice cold lemonade on a hot day, and better than a hot chocolate with marshmallows on the coldest day! Thank you for all you do on your channel! God bless you both also and your children and parents!
I love listening to you both share your stories,( never knew that you held church in each others homes)!
Thank you for sharing your faith and I love to see people living a simpler life. You both dona great job on the videos.
I loved every word you spoke!! It was so interesting!!!
Every video you make is wonderful and this was so interesting! We welcome all you have to share so please keep it up. Very dark times are here so let us encourage each other to hide and abide in Jesus. Thank you so much!
I agree. You provide such wonderful information. It is a joy to listen to you and learn!
Amen! Love this video!
Thanks for sharing your heritage with us, found it very interesting and as always I enjoy your channel very much. Many Blessings for you and your family.
I love hearing your stories! Being self sufficient is a blessing and you are sharing that with so many who need to hear it for the inner peace that we all need .
I love the Amish culture I was always so drowned to learn about them,such a hard working people and so gentle.
Loving your videos. Thank you for sharing yourselves and family with us the viewers.
I love your channel! I live in Kalispell so its nice to see all the familiar places on your videos. Can't wait to watch, learn, and hear more stories of your enriched lives. God bless you both!!!
I enjoyed this so much! As I listened to you talk about your experiences and how you feel blessed with your heritage, my heart just jumped in happiness! Over the years I’ve had this same revelation.. I miss my family so very much and hope and pray for unity!!!♥️✝️
What a blessing to hear your story! Thanks for sharing. Your godliness shines.
You are a blessing in my life listening to your youthful life. I grew up as a weekend farm girl and my grandparents had no electricity, indoor plumbing. My grandparents did have a propane fridge/stove. We had to wash dishes on the wood stove. My childhood was interesting and fun on the farm. In the winter time we scraped off the top layer of snow and put it in the metal drum in the house. This was the late 70's early 80's.
God bless your family!
💙💜
I love both of you. I had been watching you for a while and I think you are both genuine and beautiful people. Thank you for explaining about the Amish, I came from the Philippines and the way you grew up reminds me of how we were brought up too. I like it when you always include God in your life, I grew up catholic and my faith is very important for me too, thanks again for everything that you’re doing.
I love, love your channel! Thank you for sharing your faith and traditions. I am learning so much from you! TFS! Hugs from Alabama.
I enjoyed watching your video. I admire how much love you have for your upbringing. I look forward to watching your next video.
thank you very much for sharing your history. I am grateful that I found you on UA-cam. I visited Holmes County in Ohio many years ago and remember well how peaceful I felt wherever I went, Stores, Restaurants.
Hello to your family,I enjoy watching your Chanel with full of values !!! Take care and be safe
This is maybe the 5th video of yours that I have watched. The more I watch, the more I like you. Im enjoying going through all the videos.
I just discovered you guys and enjoyed your video's so far. It's the values that's important, I am a teacher and we study the Amish as a case study. I am going to show some of your videos to my students, so grateful for this you have brought it into the twenty second century for them. I will continue to watch your other videos and thank your so much for this. God bless your family.
I love your channels…please keep up the great work.
Like always I enjoyed y’all video!! Even though I’ve read about the Amish it’s Very interesting to hear someone who actually lived that life talk about it. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Hi! I just found your channel and I have to admit I am binging all the episodes! I have so much to say but for now. I loved Priscilla‘s comment. Basically she stated in today’s times you don’t know what’s going to happen but we know we could live without any conveniences because of how we grow up. I wish I had all of your skills and knowledge.
So very interesting. I lived a mile or so away from an Amish community when I was young in Indiana. My interest has never waned and so nice to have a better understanding of things since I’m “English”. Thank you for sharing.
You are a beautiful young couple with beautiful family! Really enjoy your videos!
I live in Calgary, Canada and I am 76 years old widow! May God keep blessing you 🙏🏻
Thank you both once again for sharing your life & stories. As someone who spent many years (early spring through fall weekends) in the Lancaster, PA area I have a true appreciation for the Amish communities. My children were able to spend time learning from Mr. Zook, a local man who was hitching a ride to New Holland. I will never forget the education he provided all of us that day. Yes, we did pick him up.
I have always been fascinated by different ethnic communities and cultures. Your sharing of pros/cons is real. The core values we grow up with are what we are thankful for. I grew up in a family business. We worked hard. We watched our siblings, not always having time for outside friends, but in the end it is what shaped us.
Keep making & sharing your stories. 💕
You are both a BLESSING!! Thank you
Thank you for sharing and please share more on your past and present Amish life. I so enjoy when the two of you talk on a subject. You two are precious and your love for each other shines!! I think you are very good communicators. All glory to God! Love you and your family!! May Our Lord Bless and Keep You!!!
Jos the way you consistently affirm your wife Priscilla in your videos is a real encouragement to me do so for my wife.
Aren't we Blessed to have you guys reliving what our life should be like...thank you for your wisdom
You guys are just the absolute sweetest couple and I’m enjoying each and every video. Thank you both for taking the time to let us know about your lives, it’s amazing to get to be apart of your interesting lives. For anyone that might read this I ask if you all would pray for you absolutely beautiful and such a angel my precious sister who is at the Texas cancer center and is going though treatments for stage 3colon cancer she is really struggling and suffering but I know our Heavenly Father is with her, as all her family is here in NC I ask for you to put her , Sherry, in your prayers that she will be healed, God Bless you and thank you for putting her in your prayers, hugs and kisses from NC 🌸💕
My husband of 43 years and I discovered your channel a couple of months ago. We so enjoy listening to your stories of growing up and of raising your own family. We both have lived our whole lives in Southern California and always dreamed of getting away to a small town somewhere. Family ties have always kept us here, but family is our life. We also hold alot of the same values you do. Watching your videos always warms our hearts. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. You bring peace to those of us who live in a very fast paced world. 🌻
Pray Hard, Work Hard and Play Hard...Enjoyed the video!! Now, I will say I get nervous when you climb high up on the ladders and when the little one stands on the counter! Love watching the animals and when the boys harvested the garlic. What a job and they stayed right with it until they were done! Your girls are adorable and the little guy is super sweet/cute as well. I'm so glad I found your channel :)
I'm not Ammish but our life was similar back in 40s and 50s and I'm so grateful for that. Love ❤️ hearing about your days. I really appreciate those days. From Ontario Canada. Thank you 😊. Blessings.
Hi Joas and Priscilla, I watched the first Growing up Amish a good while ago now and I watched this thinking how amazing you all are, I think it's lovely that you're happy to share your life with us all, lol I can't even up load a video so your much better than I, I can't wait for more from you about your history, what a lovely, lovely couple you are, thank you so much for sharing yourselves and your beautiful family with us, well until next time, stay safe, stay warm and healthy, best wishes from the UK x
Thank you for how you explain you history. I am also saved. My Great grandmother had 16 living children and once a year we had family picnics and it was so much fun.However I also have had the joy of a church that has been family oriented and loved us and our family. We had some rules which was hard at first because I grew up in a one parent home without rules.
Thank you both for your efforts..I’ve really enjoyed hearing your stories. I am an old soul myself and love to keep the old ways of doing things alive. We still farm and log with horses and mules here. I mainly raise young work stock, but I farm enough acreage to feed them. We keep percheron draft horses and raise colts from them. The Amish have and will always be near and dear to me. I highly respect their lifestyle and the way of their families. So, thank you both again for sharing your stories. There’s enough garbage in the world these days; I am jus thankful to be able to watch something so positive. Take care!
Thank you for sharing. I live with many Amish friends in our neighborhood. I feel so blessed to have them for friends. God bless you and yours.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Your family is such a amazing blessing
Thanks!! Blessings!
Thank you for sharing your lives. You are doing a great job.
Thank you for sharing your story. You both are just natural on camera it's like sitting down and talking with friends. Great job and great video.
Love watching y’all what a blessing love to see Amish recipe god bless
We viewed the series Breaking The Silence by Joseph Graber ,the trip to Switzerland was most interesting history for sure. Then we stumbled across your channel! God's Blessings to all of you!
I just discovered this couple by accident today and am thoroughly enjoying it. I love how Joas and Priscilla look at each other with such admiration.
We love your videos. You and the family have such a sweet spirit. God bless you all.
Thank you!
You guys rock! I look forward to all your videos because you are all just the sweetest people! I would cherish friends like you! Be blessed y'all! ✌😎🏴☠️
Thanks and blessings!
Being thankful and grateful is something we should all practice everyday! God is so good to us.. If we have food on our table, clothes on our bak and a warm and dry roof over our head we are so blessed! My best to you and your family and I admire the respect you have for your heritage.🐺🐺🐺🐺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
A very interesting video. I really appreciated your lovely way of sharing your past Amish life style with us, all that it entailed. So much that was good and prepared you for your future and also taught you to appreciate the good new things of life today.
I have been really enjoying your videos. We have seen many Amish in various places. So this is so informative as to how the Amish live. I will continue watching your videos. Thank you so much…
Love your respect and appreciation for your life growing up Amash. We all have things we would do different but number one is living for and serving our FATHER. Thank you for sharing your hearts
It’s such a blessing to watch the love there is you have for each other. And your beautiful sincere smiles. You can just see God’s love shining through you.
Great videos! It's good to hear non-sensationalized accounts of Amish life. (I also love how the plant makes it look like Joas has a huge puff of green hair!)
Love your videos! I really enjoy your recipe videos so keep them coming😊😊
Your story brings back a lot of memories. It's been almost 30 years since I left, like you I'm very grateful for the work ethics we were taught, there are many things I still do today, a simple lifestyle modest dress, gardening, canning, sewing, quilting. They will always be my people. Thanks for sharing your story. Blessing from above to you and your family. p.s I still enjoy gma peanutbutter
Another very informative video from a beautiful family! I really enjoyed it!
Enjoying all your videos, thank you for sharing your life. You all seem like truly beautiful people.
Thanks Kim!
I loved your first video and immediately watched the 2nd. You guys are dolls. What you learned as kids I’m teaching myself now. I moved to the mountains to get away from conveniences and society in general. I live like you but without the upbringing. Your values are my values. God bless!
Thank you for taking us through you beliefs and your life. I needed this today, and especially in such difficult times. God bless America, please stay safe.
Blessings to you Bonnie!
God Bless you for your story!!
Thank you for sharing your heritage. I have always had a curiosity about the Amish. We are born again Christians. We have not had the same experience in regard to growing up with no modern conveniences. I just find this so refreshing to hear about and I thank you for giving us all a better understanding of Amish life. Love you both.🙏🤗
Thanks for all you share. I live in California and was raised a little like you and in Amish country. I love your family and was raised too without a TV which I am thankful for. I enjoy all you share so much. Thanks,
I live in a country from south-east Europe and watching your video made me wanting to become a better mom, to raise my children so they have the real values in life. God bless your family🤗
I don't know how l came across your videos, but l have watched 3 now, and loved them all!! Looking forward to watching more. Keep those videos coming! God Bless you both and your lovely family.
Welcome Diane!
Es ist wundervoll dass Ihr Euer Leben mit uns teilt. So ermutigend! Vielen vielen Dank!
Ich freue mich so, dass wir in der gleichen Familie sind als Kinder unsres himmlischen Vaters. Gottes reichen Segen und Bewahrung!
Und ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Video!!
Herzliche Grüsse Mireille
I appreciate you sharing your stories and history. I find the Amish very interesting. God bless!
