Our History
Morning Star Ministry is a Christ-centered organization founded in May of 2022. What was formerly known as Morning Star Ranch consisting of approximately 540 acres nestled in the Flint Hills just east of Florence, KS, was owned and operated as a subsidiary of a ministry called World Impact. The Oasis Corporation purchased Morning Star Ranch from World Impact. Subsequent to that purchase, Morning Star Ministry was formed as a subsidiary of Kingdom Impact, a Christian non-profit.
When World Impact purchased the property in 1981, there was a dream of bringing young men to be discipled then sent to impact the world with the Good News of Jesus. Over the course of several decades, the property was developed and the dream became a reality. Morning Star Ministry leadership has a clear understanding that we stand on the shoulders of many men and women of God who sacrificed their time, talent, and treasure in partnership with Jesus to see a dream come to fruition. We honor all of who have gone before us.
Morning Star Ministry is a beautiful property with five guest lodges, a modern gathering space that serves as a dining hall and conference room, 4 staff homes, six prayer cabins, and multiple outdoor facilities that accommodate recreational activity. The entire property is in the process of being refurbished, as we believe we have a call to create an environment in keeping with Revelation 22:16-17 that welcomes people to come experience the love of Jesus, the Bright Morning Star.
In September of 2022, World Impact sponsored a Morning Star Ranch reunion for graduates of their 30 plus years of discipleship training. It was a great time of reflecting, honoring the legacy, and embracing a vision for some new and exciting things God has laid on the hearts of the Morning Star Ministry leadership team and its Board of Directors.
The baton has been passed, and our leadership team is excited to participate in all that God has planned for this property. We launched a three-phase discipleship training program in June of 2023. This program consists of three phases that we and our partners as Gaining Freedom, Growing in Freedom, and Going in Freedom. Please see the “Programs” tab at the top of our home page for more details concerning our discipleship training programs, along with other ministry activity.
