What started as just a cowboy with a calling has grown into a ministry that’s feeding families, mentoring youth, and strengthening the western community. X2D Ranch Ministries began long before the Feed the Need program. Builton the idea of serving others right where they are, X2D hosts ride nights, youth rodeo practices, men’s, women’s, and youth groups, rodeo Bible camps, cowboy church services, and more throughout the year.
Dave Shumpert often describes himself as “just a cow puncher,” but his testimony shows what can happen when someone uses the gifts they’ve been given for a greater purpose. The same hands that once just worked cattle for a living now do the same work to serve others, glorify God, and share the gospel. His heart for ministry grew out of a simple belief — that the cowboy way and God’s calling can work together to change lives.
That belief recently became Feed the Need, a program dedicated to providing high-quality beef to families in need. Through a herd of cattle raised specifically for this outreach, X2D handles everything from raising and processing to packaging and distribution. It’s a mission of selflessness and service, working God’s cattle for God’s people.
Behind it all is Shumpert and a dedicated team of volunteers, families, and supporters who believe in turning hard work and faith into service. From rodeo arenas to dinner tables, X2D Ranch Ministries continues to show that living with purpose means using what you know, and what God has given you to help those around you.
