Meeting Recap

Our guests today were Les Rowe and Jordan Rowe.

Our speaker this week was Mike Cundiff, administrative director of First Fruits of Zion, which relocated from Denver, Colorado to Marshfield in 2006. First Fruits of Zion is a ministry, which publishes written materials and streams videos. It employs 21 people, 17 of which are local. The non-profit also maintains staff in Colorado and Israel. Mike chose to relocate his organization to the Midwest, and specifically Marshfield, for several reasons. He was looking for someplace less crowed, centrally located, with a lower cost of living, and an airport within 30-45 miles for ease of travel for his staff. He scouted the Springfield area and found that Marshfield was the type of community he was looking for. First Fruits of Zion was able to build a large building for a third of the cost of its rent in Denver. The friendliness of the people was also a major plus.
