Imagine america would have health care where everyone carries everyones health related burdens (stretching out the feeling of a community to a whole country)🫠
Question: do americans not sometimes want to sit with one or both feet under your butt etc or lay down on your couch, do you take the shoes off then or no?
I think it is extremely respectful they asked to remove their shoes. It comes down to respecting a person’s home. Hmmmmm, to me, nothing is more homey and comfortable than rocking your socks! But his house, his rules. In my home, everyone takes off our shoes prior to entering to keep everyone healthy and I am American. All my family members homes do, it was how I was raised. No shoes in the house reduces the likelihood of contracting cancer later in life. I was shocked when I moved to southwest home many households wear shoes inside, but that is their choice. American is a melting pot of cultures. Comes down to respect and I ALWAYS ask too and respect the families wishes.
I am so glad to see a video where Amish people aren’t depicted as weird or something like that but instead shows that they are very lovely, ready to help and just a little cautious. That’s why I love you guys and your videos: You show the good in people. I truly wish that I’ll be a part of a project like that one day :)
Same! It is nice that this beautiful truth is shown especially also with the rumors of 'cults' related to faith or religion :) Connection is absolutely beautiful
This is a very misinformed and uneducated video about the Amish community. These are considered to be Mennonites/Beachy Amish/New Order Amish. This community isn’t the traditional Old Order Amish or the Swartzentruber Amish. Swartzentruber Amish do not use any technology whatsoever and are very closed off to outsiders. It is banned to take photos/videos on them and to have faces on any dolls. They have this because they follow the passage in the Bible about not having a “reflection” of one’s self. This video would’ve been impossible to film if this was an Old Order Amish community. Those are the Amish that people usually think about when they hear “Amish”. They’re very lucky to have found the Mennonites/Beachy Amish/New Order Amish who typically thrive off of tourism. This video is so disrespectful on so many levels and doesn’t even go over the truth about this community when it comes to how unregulated they are, they don’t pay taxes, they abuse animals, abuse children, partake in inc*st, partake in domestic violence, and are known for destroying the environment. Videos like this create the biggest misconception about how they’re “quiet and peaceful people”. I guess the tourism distraction that this community thrives off of did its job. You wanna see the real Swartzentruber Amish? Go to Pennsylvania. Literally the biggest legal crime cult in this country. Those who live next to them know exactly what I’m talking about. Those who have only been to Mennonite areas and watched videos would defend them. You know who wouldn’t lie? The doctors and nurses next to these Swartzentruber Amish communities who have Amish kids dumped there for having genetic disorders from inc*st and are horribly abused. You know who wouldn’t lie? The horse stables around these communities who save so many horses and dogs from slaughter from the Swartzentruber Amish community. You know who wouldn’t lie? The hundreds of women and children who ran away to shelters escaping abuse in the Amish community. You know who wouldn’t lie? The Fish and Game Commission who constantly have to find the Amish member who poached and tortured wildlife. This video and that community was nothing but propaganda since more and more people are seeing what’s going on behind these tourist traps.

Way back when I left home and went to college I didn't know a soul in the small town I was moving to. I landed there around 11pm on a Sunday and didn't have a clue what I was doing. I asked an older couple at the airport if they knew a # for a cab, instead they offered to drive me to the apartment I was moving into. When we got there they noticed I didn't have anything, no bed, no food, no nothing besides a suitcase with clothes. They then told me they wouldn't let me stay there and insisted I spend the night at their house just down the road. They cooked a turkey dinner in the middle of the night...and offered me their basement. The next year I lived with them for the entire year, and they became a second family to me until they passed a few years back. Came on vacations, to my wedding, met my entire family. Some of the best memories I have and it all started by asking for a phone number
19:28, this was a very sweet moment. To be able to say he wishes to see them again on the other-side, after only meeting them that evening is so profound.
Parents control their children in Amish communities. My children went to school with them. I believe they are ugly people who shunned my family in Johnstown Oh. We thought we were buying a home with some land and country living. WE WERE TREATED VERY BADLY AMISH COMMUNITY. I CALL JOHNSTOWN OH THE ARMPIT OF AMERICA. NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THEM.
@@DiscoverConnection Don't forget to visit their lovely dog-breeding facilities. Holmes County is notorious for them. They often look like hen houses off the smaller local roads, until you pull over, stop your car, and hear barking and whining. As much as I adore Amish dairy products (holy cats -- their cheese!) and their apple butter, I won't buy or recommend anyone else buy anything from the Amish. They're not as dear and kind to animals as you'd think. Animals are objects to be used however mankind wishes. They're downright brutal to their horses. You need to look deeper. These are not nice people.
@@DiscoverConnectionI just discovered your channel. What amazing experiences you were blessed with. The honor. The three of you were so respectful and earnest that I immediately subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
@@haplessasshole9615 I'll try to say this in a nice way: There is a big, BIG difference between animals and Humans, especially from an Amish point of view. I'll do my best to explain: The Amish are Christians, and the Bible is very clear that God made Mankind after God's own Image. No other animal was given that luxury. God then gave Mankind dominion, meaning control, over the entire world and everything that happens throughout all of Creation. This includes the animals. So, the Amish most likely treat animals like animals, and people like people, because that is their Religious belief. As a Christian, all I can do is quote Scripture and assume their belief aligns with Scripture. For instance, the Bible states in 1 Corinthians 15:39 "For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.", which, in context with the other verses, is saying that God has assigned a purpose to each being. The Amish probably take 1 Corinthians 15:39, and use the context of Genesis 9:2-3 to come to the conclusion that the sole reason for the existence of animals, is for the pleasure of mankind. Genesis 9:2-3 "The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything." Now, whether or not it is ideal, I wouldn't know as I haven't seen these "dog-breeding facilities", but what I will say is that acting like the breeding of animals determines whether or not someone is a kind or good person is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
"Don't show all my weeds on RUclips." 🤣 Mervin and Jerry are absolute legends and so is this community. This is exactly how people should treat and support one another. Thank you for taking time to create this type of content.
that last guy when he said something along the lines of "if i dont see you again, i hope to see you in heaven" really got me idk why. That amount of faith/love is beautiful to me and just acknowledging the fact that he'd love to see you guys again in this life or the next really got me.
I like how Mervin took a moment to see his world through an outsider’s eyes. Then said it provided him an opportunity to appreciate what he takes for granted. 🙏❤️
He is blessed to have a beautiful home and a farm its a dream for anyone with a good head on their shoulders but I wouldn't say he takes it for granted. It is a life of work and fulfillment that is just the purpose of living tending to gods world and animals while providing for yourself. Its good for the environment and he is the head of an entire ecosystem living in perfect balance and health through the tending care of humanity. There is nothing better that a person can do.
I work close to the Amish here in PA as a truck driver, being that I deliver a lot of different kinds of woods to them. And I'll tell you what. They are legit some of the nicest, hardworking, and peaceful. Love talking to them. They always have good stories.
@@es9758 There are still some Amish who have parted a bit in certain areas. It depends on their individual community, of which there are many. The communities are not all exactly the same, but their faith is the same and they are very strong in faith and community. Don't be so quick to call someone a liar. Look at the good and not at the"half empty" glass..
@@es9758 as someone else said, there are many different Amish communities. I have Amish family, and they have their own cameras (even fancier than mine lol) and even cellphones
@@es9758 there are nearly half a million amish people. they are not all the same. yes, some may not like cameras. some don't use electricity. some have cell phones and cars. it all depends on a combination of which particular subgroup they may be grouped in, as well as each family and individual
@@beanzburriton4263 imagine you're clueless and just started watching eh? They have things called "applications" I know it seems a bit much but highly suggest you watch all the videos before you spew that garbage out 😂❤️
He surely is a very nice guy, but these aren't Amish-Amish. These people read the newspaper, use phones, use fuel powered tools for their land, had solar panels, a garage for cars, a modern stove, a fridge, et cetera.
@@lennartjuhh Some are stricter than others, but they are still Amish. They only use their phones for emergencies, not to chat. When they use power tools, it's only to provide better for their families. Nothing is used frivolously or lightly. These people and their morals are far superior than the gross world we live in.
Im from East Africa Kenya 🇰🇪, I like learning about a particular group or communities no matter their skin colours, religion, country, ethnicity,culture,political or other things as you can name them. It interests me to see people happy, healthy, having good hearts and helping others .❤❤❤
I love how respectful you guys are with the families and their customs. I hope more youtoubers follow your lead. God bless you and wish Tylor hospital debts are gone by now.
Wow, I absolutely loved this video. I'm a Christian. I watched for curiosity. This was truly delightful and it also made me wish that the Christians in America would learn to shoulder other people's burdens like the Amish do. The auction was so awesome. Thank you for making this video
It's sad really because it used to be where neighbors helped each other more when I was growing up. I was a kid in the 70's and 80's and the neighbors in our neighborhood always looked out for each other. Nowadays you're lucky if you even know your neighbors and one of them isn't a psychopath or a Karen.
The Amish are just AWESOME ppl but its only a rare blessed few of us “English” that gain their trust and friendship. Once it has been forged they are true Christian brothers and sisters who will not only open your eyes to the right way of doing things but help you accomplish goals you never imagined. Our farmhouse where my Dad had lived had the foundation collapse and major work needed to be done. My Dad had always let the Amish men camp there inside his house and barn every deer season. He traded Belgian horses with them and was truly accepted as fully as an English can be into their world. They ALL came to his funeral. When they heard we needed help they came and literally by lunch had the foundation fixed, porch rebuilt, and time to go climb the hills and look at nature. We had to force them to take even barely enough to cover their driver and gas. They wanted to do it for free as they had many times for my Dad. We are honored to continue the bond even to a lesser degree with them for many generations.
This was awesome the Amish are such great people with huge hearts. I’m glad that you guys are so respectful to there faith and community you guys have awesome content. Just found your channel tonight and I’m binge watching your videos.
《This is not a house. It's home. I want people to feel comfortable.》 Mervin seems so kind hearted. Thank you for showing us the community ! Another great video ! ❤❤❤❤🎉
It’s crazy I’ve grown up in this area my whole life, over half of my extended family is Amish and you guys actually drove right past my Amish grandparents house in one of your clips
So are all Amish like how people say they are or do some of them care about their animals and are actually good people? Because horse lovers say the Amish beat their horses and mules and don’t care about them.
This Amish couple have hit all the sweet spots. Bare minimum electricity (fridge, lights, hot water) but they have built a grand home and live such a beautiful and simple life. To be born into such a community is a gift to nwver be taken for granted.
@@JohnMChew I've never seen an Amish woman in a black head covering like she was wearing, so my guess is that they were Mennonite. I have Amish family, and they are pretty modern. Electric fridges, washing machines, and even lights.
these days many use solar or wind generation for their power too, rather than draw from a county grid. they tend to strive for self sufficiency when it comes to basic resources (thus, growing their own food and using wells for water). plus, unlike the way we live where we don't really think twice about leaving a light on or how many things we have that need power in our home. they only use what they find to be reasonably necessary or useful which of course includes things like a fridge and lighting. it's really interesting that they practice such modesty and it brings them happiness to do so
I cried probably 6x during this video, so sweet, wonderful & such nice exchanges throughout. Jerry, Irene, Elsie and her husband... Such kind, compassionate people. 😌♥️ Thank you, you three for making this video to share w/us all! Good guys, it truly shows. I like your content, I subscribed! Keep doing what you do, fun, neat experiences for us all to see thru you! Gives us all good perspectives.
“There isn't time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that.” -Mark Twain
In their entire life They never saw a man dress like that😆 It's like being a blonde haired girl in Mexico, they don't see that EVER. I went to completely Amish restaurant & they starred at me the entire time i ate my dinner, when i went to the restroom a girl in a bonnet asked me what it was like to wear make up & dye my hair & why i felt the need to ruin Gods beauty.
@tara8597 Oh I know! There was a giant books sale in my city which a lot of amish went to and at the time my hair was bubblegum pink. I happened to stand next to a little amish girl as I was looking at books and she glanced up and looked absolutely bewildered. She ran over to her mom and whispered something then just kept glancing at me. Honestly, it was really amusing
Just finished your hitchhiking across America series, and then rewatched with my boyfriend. Cried BOTH times! What you are doing MATTERS and is powerful. Keep up the amazing work
That auction to help that man and his family out was the perfect example of what a beautiful community this is. Props to you guys for buying that pickleball set and helping them out
The Amish...They are awesome people! Country life, rural living, manual labor, growing their own food. Christianity and faith in helping each other in the community. Let's get cooking. 🤠
This was an awesome documentary of what the Amish are all about, supporting and loving neighbors when in need for support, friendship and family ❤🎉 made me tear up at the end, we are lscking happiness these days. God bless everyone!! And have a good night
When Jerry thought for a second and then said "I guess I would" I almost cried. Everybody else probably would've given you Jerry's number if you told them you had nowhere to go instead of asking for work.
You don’t post too often but you know what , that doesn’t matter because when you post, you post very unique and truly amazing videos that just warm the heart ❤ On another note, I’m glad that Tyler was able to recover and that you guys were able to help in someway the Amish community by buying the pickleball set. Keep up the good work ❤
Ikr I was admiring mervin's beautiful house and I was thinking he probably built a lot of that with his own hands. I'm sure he had help from the community, but he probably designed it, sourced the materials, and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor!
That was a great video, thank you for cheering me up. What a nice group of kind and pleasant people you ran into, warmed my heart to see how accepting they were to three strangers. Such nice folks.
Oh lord… the auction was hilarious, when the boys were yelling and celebrating, and all the amish people have their heads turned, looking at them like… “what the hell”.
This is the most wholesome channel on RUclips. I love what you guys are doing, please don't stop. The world really -really- needs to heal, and this is healing content ♥
I an a tribal member in Washington state, and when any tragedy has happened we also come together and help, each family has their own way to help. Community is so important.
Awww I love Mervin and his wife. What sweet people! I love that you sang hymns!! And enjoyed it with the second family. I loved everything about this. You guys are so respectful and that is super appreciated I am sure by the ones you encounter and those of us watching.
I'm only 8 minutes into the vid and I must say it was really kind of this gentleman to have you guys on his farm helping. really nice video! That was really nice of Mervin and kind of Jerry to have you by their homes! When Mervin talked about asking a question leading you to somewhere you never thought, it's really blessings on both parties learning about the other and showing kindness and love to the other. really nice :) Cheers from Toronto Canada! 😍🥰
This is really great stuff - you went in looking to tick some things off your list, but you embraced the people that you met in order to achieve those goals - that is truly beautiful!
The Amish people were so friendly, welcoming, you would think that they knew you for ever you were just paying them a visit as an old friend. This is the way we should be with each other, be there for each other. The freedom they have with the wide open pastures the beautiful green grassy land is priceless certainly deserve to be thankful give thanks frequently. I really enjoyed the video it was priceless.
The most important aspect to making this work is that it is all centered around Jesus who taught us to be this way with the seriousness of him as King of Kings that should be obeyed. The church is the core of this community.
@@litpath3633 You're right. Most people used to live in close knit communities like this. The most important thing required for this type of community is homogeneity. People need to think the same, believe the same things, want the same things, and the last one is probably the most important, but talking about it makes people uncomfortable... look the same.
@@fluffylittlebear In a secular way, this is true. Interestingly enough strong faith in God and Jesus among the community satisfies all these regardless of skin pigment. A community of believers focused on God will think the same, believe the same, want the same, and look the same when they are clothed in light in glorified bodies. Yet keep their unique attributes that makes life fulfilling and complete.
@@fluffylittlebear I don't think you quite grasp how powerful Christ is in this regard. God is the glue that upholds society and the closer they are to the truth of God, the better the society will be.
Loved this. Our country/world needs more of this: getting to know others different than ourselves…Cause I would guess we are all much more the same than we are different! Great job, guys!👍🏻
What a fantastic video. I smiled all the way through it. Imagine if he all could be like the amish, the family, the life, the appreciation and the faith. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
Sharing Tyler's experience with recovery really helped me. It was actually encouraging for me to see how physical trauma distorted his entire body, just as it has mine as well. It has completely destroyed my body and face as I know them, and I have often been afraid that I am now permanently disfigured. Seeing how his physical features returned to him as he recovered filled me with renewed hope on this score; thanks for sharing this story!
Tyler's story really resonated with me. Years ago I misdiagnosed with stage IV cancer twice. The 3rd diagnosis was not a fatal cancer but stage III lymphoma. I survived but the financial burden was another battle in itself. Never give up. Life is so precious ❤️
The same here my son with stage 4 cancer has been battling for 7 years and has wiped out my savings 800,000 retirement fund and we’re selling all we can from both homed he is still alive thank god but not good it’s been a very horrible and painful time
I have never watched ur channel before but this video was really awesome …u ran into some of the nicest people…Mervin’s family was really nice u could tell he had a good time…n Jerry was jus as kind
Can’t wait for 1 million subscribers!! Congrats Brad on all you and your team have accomplished over the years. One of the most meaningful channels on RUclips no question
This is only the second video I’ve seen of yours, but both of them have put a lump in my throat, it’s just so awesome what you’re doing! Can’t wait to see the next foreign family you connect with!
With a very large Amish community where I live, this was absolutely great. They are such kind, hardworking individuals. I watched this whole video, mostly with a smile on my face. Felt like home to watch. ❤
I've literally just come across your guys channel, and it's bloody awesome! There's some proper wholesome footage in these videos! Cheers guys and all the best for the next trip 🤙
The Amish are truly amazing, resilient people. Their faith is the cornerstone for everything they do. Im so glad I found your channel and plan on being here for a while! God Bless!🙏💯💪
I'm actually surprised you were able to find someone to take you in as Amish can be VERY nice and kind but they often can be also quite distrusting towards strangers just because they fear of being scammed or hurt in some ways. But as you see once they realize you are a good person they open up like a book and love to talk about you and your life. They live a simple but happy life. ❤
I’m not Amish… but I am a Christian conservative. If three random men (even as kind as you are) came up to our farm and asked to help us for free I would be super skeptical as well. We occasionally encounter strangers and do our best to be helpful and accommodating but unfortunately, nowadays, there are quite a lot of shady characters who have self serving agendas who they are willing to harm others on behalf of. 😢 So we have to be careful. I’m happy to see you found such lovely people who were willing to share their lives and homes with you. What a beautiful video. 😊 God bless and keep you and yours. 🙏🏻✝️🕊️
"Ask and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7 also reminds us that we should open our doors if someone knocks. If you have god in your heart, that faith is stronger than your fear and scepticism.
Over the last couple months I’ve been driving up to Lancaster PA every other weekend to grocery shop at an Amish food market. Now I don’t know if they’re all Amish cause there are like other sects from what I understand. They are the kindest people to deal with. So polite and actually grateful for the business. They are good people.
this is awesome. my grandpa is ex amish and i noticed you were actually in the town (or at least passing through) where he grew up and lived for a while! so cool to see.
It takes guts to do what you do and the persistence is always there. So proud of you for always giving this your all. I know human connection means the world to you
I smiled and laughed throughout this whole video!! I wish you were able to post more but I understand it’s difficult. I’m always excited to watch and see your guys genuine connection with people. Please keep doing what you’re doing, we love it 🥰
Their homes and land is all so beautiful. You can tell they really take pride in what they do and what they have. They all seem so kind and sincere. I love those people. They are the way we as a nation once were. While watching this I kept thinking I would love to meet these people.
What a great vid! I love it that you guys are respectful of a different way of life, refreshing to see something positive like this on RUclips! Kudos 👍
This is absolutely pure and beautiful. This is exactly what I needed today. Truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful break from the stresses of my day.

What a wholesome repressive cult that actively silences and outcasts members that talk about abuse in their community 😃
They are awesome people! My family has been around them our whole lives. My Dad had a ton of Amish friends.
This is a very misinformed and uneducated video about the Amish community. These are considered to be Mennonites/Beachy Amish/New Order Amish. This community isn’t the traditional Old Order Amish or the Swartzentruber Amish. Swartzentruber Amish do not use any technology whatsoever and are very closed off to outsiders.

Videos like this create the biggest misconception about how they’re “quiet and peaceful people”. I guess the tourism distraction that this community thrives off of did its job.
You wanna see the real Swartzentruber Amish? Go to Pennsylvania. Literally the biggest legal crime cult in this country. Those who live next to them know exactly what I’m talking about.

Way back when I left home and went to college I didn't know a soul in the small town I was moving to. I landed there around 11pm on a Sunday and didn't have a clue what I was doing.
I asked an older couple at the airport if they knew a # for a cab, instead they offered to drive me to the apartment I was moving into.
When we got there they noticed I didn't have anything, no bed, no food, no nothing besides a suitcase with clothes. They then told me they wouldn't let me stay there and insisted I spend the night at their house just down the road. They cooked a turkey dinner in the middle of the night...and offered me their basement. The next year I lived with them for the entire year, and they became a second family to me until they passed a few years back.
Came on vacations, to my wedding, met my entire family. Some of the best memories I have and it all started by asking for a phone number
Great story
Beautiful story, God bless them and you
They were Amish?
Aww that’s wonderful ❤how amazing it is that people come into our lives just when we need them most and we don’t even realize it
What a amazing story 😊
19:28, this was a very sweet moment. To be able to say he wishes to see them again on the other-side, after only meeting them that evening is so profound.
I was looking for this comment, my favorite moment of the whole video 💚
Genuinely taken back by him saying that. Just beautiful.
I think it's really sweet how the dad said he trusted his son's judgement. He sounds like a really good dad
Parents control their children in Amish communities. My children went to school with them. I believe they are ugly people who shunned my family in Johnstown Oh. We thought we were buying a home with some land and country living. WE WERE TREATED VERY BADLY AMISH COMMUNITY. I CALL JOHNSTOWN OH THE ARMPIT OF AMERICA. NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THEM.
Mervin seems like an absolute gem ❤
Everyone was so kind and welcoming. Absolutely loved this!
Mervin is the man! He had so much wisdom to share with us while we were there, such a generous and kind family :)
@@DiscoverConnection Don't forget to visit their lovely dog-breeding facilities. Holmes County is notorious for them. They often look like hen houses off the smaller local roads, until you pull over, stop your car, and hear barking and whining. As much as I adore Amish dairy products (holy cats -- their cheese!) and their apple butter, I won't buy or recommend anyone else buy anything from the Amish. They're not as dear and kind to animals as you'd think. Animals are objects to be used however mankind wishes. They're downright brutal to their horses. You need to look deeper. These are not nice people.
@@DiscoverConnectionI just discovered your channel. What amazing experiences you were blessed with. The honor. The three of you were so respectful and earnest that I immediately subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
@@haplessasshole9615 I'll try to say this in a nice way:
There is a big, BIG difference between animals and Humans, especially from an Amish point of view.
I'll do my best to explain: The Amish are Christians, and the Bible is very clear that God made Mankind after God's own Image. No other animal was given that luxury. God then gave Mankind dominion, meaning control, over the entire world and everything that happens throughout all of Creation. This includes the animals.
So, the Amish most likely treat animals like animals, and people like people, because that is their Religious belief. As a Christian, all I can do is quote Scripture and assume their belief aligns with Scripture. For instance, the Bible states in 1 Corinthians 15:39 "For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.", which, in context with the other verses, is saying that God has assigned a purpose to each being.
The Amish probably take 1 Corinthians 15:39, and use the context of Genesis 9:2-3 to come to the conclusion that the sole reason for the existence of animals, is for the pleasure of mankind.
Genesis 9:2-3
"The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything."
Now, whether or not it is ideal, I wouldn't know as I haven't seen these "dog-breeding facilities", but what I will say is that acting like the breeding of animals determines whether or not someone is a kind or good person is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
"Don't show all my weeds on RUclips." 🤣 Mervin and Jerry are absolute legends and so is this community. This is exactly how people should treat and support one another. Thank you for taking time to create this type of content.
So awesome … he’s worried about his weeds. I just wish I had his garden !
lmaooooooo so innocent he wasn't talking about garden weeds he was talking about that sweet marry jane
that last guy when he said something along the lines of "if i dont see you again, i hope to see you in heaven" really got me idk why. That amount of faith/love is beautiful to me and just acknowledging the fact that he'd love to see you guys again in this life or the next really got me.
What Mervin said about friends on Facebook vs real community was 100%
We have very few FRIENDS we have lots of acquaintance we call friends
Bang on ❤
Yeah I felt that ❤
That actually made me cry. So spot on!
100%
I like how Mervin took a moment to see his world through an outsider’s eyes. Then said it provided him an opportunity to appreciate what he takes for granted. 🙏❤️
Terrible language
He is blessed to have a beautiful home and a farm its a dream for anyone with a good head on their shoulders but I wouldn't say he takes it for granted. It is a life of work and fulfillment that is just the purpose of living tending to gods world and animals while providing for yourself. Its good for the environment and he is the head of an entire ecosystem living in perfect balance and health through the tending care of humanity. There is nothing better that a person can do.
@@Goganzuela- I don’t think he does either. But I’m quoting him. That’s what he said.
Can yall PLEASE do a video revisiting some of the people youve met through your journeys? It would be fan-damn-tastic
YEEESSSSSS!! Please!!
Oh my god yes please!
We all know exactly who we wanna see first 😂😂
Yes please ❤❤
I'd love to see them go back and eat the fruit from the plants they planted
Respect for the Amish. Keeping their eyes on what’s important. God, family, & community. Less distractions.
Honestly this is one of the most refreshing videos ive seen in a LONG time. Very wholesome experience to watch. Thank you guys
I work close to the Amish here in PA as a truck driver, being that I deliver a lot of different kinds of woods to them. And I'll tell you what. They are legit some of the nicest, hardworking, and peaceful. Love talking to them. They always have good stories.
Amish don't like cameras or being om film so I don't know if what you all are doing is genuine.
@@es9758
There are still some Amish who have parted a bit in certain areas. It depends on their individual community, of which there are many. The communities are not all exactly the same, but their faith is the same and they are very strong in faith and community.
Don't be so quick to call someone a liar. Look at the good and not at the"half empty" glass..
@@es9758 as someone else said, there are many different Amish communities. I have Amish family, and they have their own cameras (even fancier than mine lol) and even cellphones
@@es9758 there are nearly half a million amish people. they are not all the same. yes, some may not like cameras. some don't use electricity. some have cell phones and cars. it all depends on a combination of which particular subgroup they may be grouped in, as well as each family and individual
and their food is SOOOO GOOD im a PA native, our horse shoer back home is amish and they are great people!
So glad Tyler is gonna be joining the team, he is such a great addition, this video was fantastic!
I tried to join it year and a half ago. Never got a response myself sadly 😔
ikr i can feel his positive energy out of my screen
Indeed!
@@zachbear1992 how did you try to join? were you liek stalking them and sneaking around?
@@beanzburriton4263 imagine you're clueless and just started watching eh? They have things called "applications" I know it seems a bit much but highly suggest you watch all the videos before you spew that garbage out 😂❤️
This made me have a whole new appreciation for the amish, Mervin was so kind.
Wasn’t Mervin just an absolutely shining man.!. With understanding, faith and mentorship that goes on forever…. Shine on Mervin!
He surely is a very nice guy, but these aren't Amish-Amish. These people read the newspaper, use phones, use fuel powered tools for their land, had solar panels, a garage for cars, a modern stove, a fridge, et cetera.
Marvin is more like a Mennonite, not even close to real Amish.
@@lennartjuhh
Some are stricter than others, but they are still Amish. They only use their phones for emergencies, not to chat. When they use power tools, it's only to provide better for their families. Nothing is used frivolously or lightly. These people and their morals are far superior than the gross world we live in.
I wish me and my family had the money to move to the country and live a simple life but with hard work.
Im from East Africa Kenya 🇰🇪, I like learning about a particular group or communities no matter their skin colours, religion, country, ethnicity,culture,political or other things as you can name them. It interests me to see people happy, healthy, having good hearts and helping others .❤❤❤
I agree. It is so fascinating to see other peoples customs, beliefs and lifestyles.
I love watching videos about people traveling to your country. I wish I had been born Maasai.
I love how respectful you guys are with the families and their customs. I hope more youtoubers follow your lead. God bless you and wish Tylor hospital debts are gone by now.
Wow, I absolutely loved this video. I'm a Christian. I watched for curiosity. This was truly delightful and it also made me wish that the Christians in America would learn to shoulder other people's burdens like the Amish do. The auction was so awesome. Thank you for making this video
Agree! Unfortunately the Christians tend to bad mouth one another and not do a darn thing when you really need help.
It's sad really because it used to be where neighbors helped each other more when I was growing up. I was a kid in the 70's and 80's and the neighbors in our neighborhood always looked out for each other. Nowadays you're lucky if you even know your neighbors and one of them isn't a psychopath or a Karen.
I’m a Christian and the church I belong to is wonderful with sharing each others burdens and lending a hand when needed. I’m blessed!
@@rebeccadockrey3663Same here, a small country church, that TRULY is family. God Bless you & yours.
What kind of Christians are you hanging around?? Sounds like you need to do some soul searching! Always banging on the Christians!
The Amish are just AWESOME ppl but its only a rare blessed few of us “English” that gain their trust and friendship. Once it has been forged they are true Christian brothers and sisters who will not only open your eyes to the right way of doing things but help you accomplish goals you never imagined. Our farmhouse where my Dad had lived had the foundation collapse and major work needed to be done. My Dad had always let the Amish men camp there inside his house and barn every deer season. He traded Belgian horses with them and was truly accepted as fully as an English can be into their world. They ALL came to his funeral. When they heard we needed help they came and literally by lunch had the foundation fixed, porch rebuilt, and time to go climb the hills and look at nature. We had to force them to take even barely enough to cover their driver and gas. They wanted to do it for free as they had many times for my Dad. We are honored to continue the bond even to a lesser degree with them for many generations.
Thanks for sharing how easy it is to connect with others !
Nice
Oh wow
This was awesome the Amish are such great people with huge hearts. I’m glad that you guys are so respectful to there faith and community you guys have awesome content. Just found your channel tonight and I’m binge watching your videos.
Thanks!
《This is not a house. It's home. I want people to feel comfortable.》 Mervin seems so kind hearted. Thank you for showing us the community ! Another great video ! ❤❤❤❤🎉
Yes he's a very sweet gentleman.
It’s crazy I’ve grown up in this area my whole life, over half of my extended family is Amish and you guys actually drove right past my Amish grandparents house in one of your clips
I’m from there too! Saw so many familiar landmarks.
Hehe
So are all Amish like how people say they are or do some of them care about their animals and are actually good people? Because horse lovers say the Amish beat their horses and mules and don’t care about them.
Its funny how things change over time.
LOL but I would have loved to seen these blokes in a hard working dairy barn!
This Amish couple have hit all the sweet spots. Bare minimum electricity (fridge, lights, hot water) but they have built a grand home and live such a beautiful and simple life. To be born into such a community is a gift to nwver be taken for granted.
Yes. Full circle - so many have left do to go to a dying culture. Now we see such beauty on that side
Are they Amish or Mennonite? Many Mennonite have technology but, still wear plain clothes.
@@JohnMChew I've never seen an Amish woman in a black head covering like she was wearing, so my guess is that they were Mennonite. I have Amish family, and they are pretty modern. Electric fridges, washing machines, and even lights.
these days many use solar or wind generation for their power too, rather than draw from a county grid. they tend to strive for self sufficiency when it comes to basic resources (thus, growing their own food and using wells for water). plus, unlike the way we live where we don't really think twice about leaving a light on or how many things we have that need power in our home. they only use what they find to be reasonably necessary or useful which of course includes things like a fridge and lighting. it's really interesting that they practice such modesty and it brings them happiness to do so
Seriously I thought they went without all of the modern technology. Kids with cell phones. Lights and shit? @@Mt4evr
I cried probably 6x during this video, so sweet, wonderful & such nice exchanges throughout. Jerry, Irene, Elsie and her husband... Such kind, compassionate people. 😌♥️ Thank you, you three for making this video to share w/us all! Good guys, it truly shows. I like your content, I subscribed! Keep doing what you do, fun, neat experiences for us all to see thru you! Gives us all good perspectives.
We live close to Holmes county. We love our Amish friends.
It's so nice to see you all to show your good time with them.
*This channel always reminds you that it's never too late to make new friends for life. Life is good, man.*

@@merryweather1009 I didn't know Old Mark Twain said this. I say it all the time.
Yes. Very.
I'm giggling at the little amish kids in front of you at the auction turned completely around in their chairs to stare lol
😆😆😆
In their entire life They never saw a man dress like that😆 It's like being a blonde haired girl in Mexico, they don't see that EVER. I went to completely Amish restaurant & they starred at me the entire time i ate my dinner, when i went to the restroom a girl in a bonnet asked me what it was like to wear make up & dye my hair & why i felt the need to ruin Gods beauty.
@tara8597 Oh I know! There was a giant books sale in my city which a lot of amish went to and at the time my hair was bubblegum pink. I happened to stand next to a little amish girl as I was looking at books and she glanced up and looked absolutely bewildered. She ran over to her mom and whispered something then just kept glancing at me. Honestly, it was really amusing
They probably think they're looking at demons 😂
My whole family. Including granparents are blonde haired Mexicans 😂😂, it's actually not rare @@tara8597
Just finished your hitchhiking across America series, and then rewatched with my boyfriend. Cried BOTH times! What you are doing MATTERS and is powerful. Keep up the amazing work
Its probably the best piece of content on RUclips hands down
I've watched that twice aswell, unbelievable and actually so brave to do. We've missed you and Tyler is a huge asset to the team 😊
This was definitely one of the most wholesome ones I have watched.
10:56 you can see the pure love and concern of the pup. Love this video and that made it all the more special.
That auction to help that man and his family out was the perfect example of what a beautiful community this is. Props to you guys for buying that pickleball set and helping them out
Imagine if all of us did the same in our community or town.
10:10 the dad saying he was proud of his son made me tear up 🥹🫶
How sweet is that family?
Dad: I won't go there... I go with you 😊
And the second family was great as well. I love how he made ya'll sing. So sweet.
The Amish...They are awesome people! Country life, rural living, manual labor, growing their own food.
Christianity and faith in helping each other in the community.
Let's get cooking. 🤠
This was an awesome documentary of what the Amish are all about, supporting and loving neighbors when in need for support, friendship and family ❤🎉 made me tear up at the end, we are lscking happiness these days. God bless everyone!! And have a good night
When Jerry thought for a second and then said "I guess I would" I almost cried. Everybody else probably would've given you Jerry's number if you told them you had nowhere to go instead of asking for work.
Also, money is important
😢
6:27 That line about Facebook is the most real thing ever
Someone letting you be a part of their prayer-time is huge for me. This was a beautiful video.
You don’t post too often but you know what , that doesn’t matter because when you post, you post very unique and truly amazing videos that just warm the heart ❤
On another note, I’m glad that Tyler was able to recover and that you guys were able to help in someway the Amish community by buying the pickleball set. Keep up the good work ❤
Dude Mervins grass looked amazing.
I knew he was cool, sipping on cherry Pepsi. What a guy.
I think many of us want to live like the Amish! I do! What a great community.
Ikr I was admiring mervin's beautiful house and I was thinking he probably built a lot of that with his own hands. I'm sure he had help from the community, but he probably designed it, sourced the materials, and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor!
That was a great video, thank you for cheering me up. What a nice group of kind and pleasant people you ran into, warmed my heart to see how accepting they were to three strangers. Such nice folks.
This video was a blessing to watch! I love, love the Amish community! They’re such great, humble people. We visit them often in St. Jacob’s, Ontario!
The older I grow the more I appreciate the Amish lifestyle.
That dinner looked awesome!
😂😂😂😂
Same, if it wasn’t so tied to religion I would consider joining
Same here
@@vikki-333religion is what keeps them pure, with out the fear of God people start turning into transformers and saying dumb shht like what you said
Oh lord… the auction was hilarious, when the boys were yelling and celebrating, and all the amish people have their heads turned, looking at them like… “what the hell”.
I love how you participated in their faith, you guys are amazing people.
This is the most wholesome channel on RUclips. I love what you guys are doing, please don't stop. The world really -really- needs to heal, and this is healing content ♥
What a JOY to watch your experience. I loved it and didn't want it to end. God Bless you all.
I love to see pure kindness and trust between strangers.
I an a tribal member in Washington state, and when any tragedy has happened we also come together and help, each family has their own way to help. Community is so important.
Awww I love Mervin and his wife. What sweet people! I love that you sang hymns!! And enjoyed it with the second family. I loved everything about this. You guys are so respectful and that is super appreciated I am sure by the ones you encounter and those of us watching.
The guy who let u guys stay the night at his house god bless him what a good guy
New to your channel and loving how you're out breaking norms and barriers!!! We need more of this!!
This channel is one of the best on youtube. I always feel great after watching.
Stoked to hear that ❤️
It is ALWAYS a good day when DC posts. Thank you guys so much.
❤️
I'm only 8 minutes into the vid and I must say it was really kind of this gentleman to have you guys on his farm helping. really nice video! That was really nice of Mervin and kind of Jerry to have you by their homes! When Mervin talked about asking a question leading you to somewhere you never thought, it's really blessings on both parties learning about the other and showing kindness and love to the other. really nice :) Cheers from Toronto Canada! 😍🥰
Amazing video. The people are so warm and welcoming. Thank you guys
This is really great stuff - you went in looking to tick some things off your list, but you embraced the people that you met in order to achieve those goals - that is truly beautiful!
The Amish people were so friendly, welcoming, you would think that they knew you for ever you were just paying them a visit as an old friend. This is the way we should be with each other, be there for each other. The freedom they have with the wide open pastures the beautiful green grassy land is priceless certainly deserve to be thankful give thanks frequently. I really enjoyed the video it was priceless.
The whole country was like this at one point, but we lost it. We could learn a lot about what was lost in our past from them.
The most important aspect to making this work is that it is all centered around Jesus who taught us to be this way with the seriousness of him as King of Kings that should be obeyed. The church is the core of this community.
@@litpath3633 You're right. Most people used to live in close knit communities like this. The most important thing required for this type of community is homogeneity. People need to think the same, believe the same things, want the same things, and the last one is probably the most important, but talking about it makes people uncomfortable... look the same.
@@fluffylittlebear In a secular way, this is true. Interestingly enough strong faith in God and Jesus among the community satisfies all these regardless of skin pigment. A community of believers focused on God will think the same, believe the same, want the same, and look the same when they are clothed in light in glorified bodies. Yet keep their unique attributes that makes life fulfilling and complete.
@@fluffylittlebear I don't think you quite grasp how powerful Christ is in this regard. God is the glue that upholds society and the closer they are to the truth of God, the better the society will be.
The Amish are lovely people. The family that took you in are absolute sweethearts!!
Both families*
oh wow that story about Tyler is heart wrenching. He came so far , the progress videos are a big inspiration
This video deserves millions and millions of views… Mervin and his family are so incredible, God Bless them.
6:37 true words of this Man !
Loved this. Our country/world needs more of this: getting to know others different than ourselves…Cause I would guess we are all much more the same than we are different!
Great job, guys!👍🏻
Let's goooo, always love when you post. It may not be that often, but it's always worth the wait. Keep killing it and discovering connections!!
I bet that homemade food was wonderful!! I like the way they live. Amazing!! What amazing people to let 2 strangers spend the night. Very cool!!!
What a fantastic video. I smiled all the way through it. Imagine if he all could be like the amish, the family, the life, the appreciation and the faith. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
Sharing Tyler's experience with recovery really helped me. It was actually encouraging for me to see how physical trauma distorted his entire body, just as it has mine as well. It has completely destroyed my body and face as I know them, and I have often been afraid that I am now permanently disfigured. Seeing how his physical features returned to him as he recovered filled me with renewed hope on this score; thanks for sharing this story!
I’ll say it again…this is the best channel on RUclips. Every video is so great and humbling. Keep the videos coming.
Tyler's story really resonated with me. Years ago I misdiagnosed with stage IV cancer twice. The 3rd diagnosis was not a fatal cancer but stage III lymphoma. I survived but the financial burden was another battle in itself.
Never give up. Life is so precious ❤️
The same here my son with stage 4 cancer has been battling for 7 years and has wiped out my savings 800,000 retirement fund and we’re selling all we can from both homed he is still alive thank god but not good it’s been a very horrible and painful time
May your son heal.Ivermectine kills cancer and can be bought on Amazon
I think I'd love more Amish videos. They're what we need right now
I have never watched ur channel before but this video was really awesome …u ran into some of the nicest people…Mervin’s family was really nice u could tell he had a good time…n Jerry was jus as kind
This is so wholesome and nice to
watch! Those families welcomed you with open arms. VERYYYYYY nice people!!!!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Can’t wait for 1 million subscribers!! Congrats Brad on all you and your team have accomplished over the years. One of the most meaningful channels on RUclips no question
This is only the second video I’ve seen of yours, but both of them have put a lump in my throat, it’s just so awesome what you’re doing! Can’t wait to see the next foreign family you connect with!
As someone who isn't Amish, but grew up going to auctions and lived on a farm, it was fun watching them get excited about bidding.
With a very large Amish community where I live, this was absolutely great. They are such kind, hardworking individuals. I watched this whole video, mostly with a smile on my face. Felt like home to watch. ❤
I've literally just come across your guys channel, and it's bloody awesome! There's some proper wholesome footage in these videos! Cheers guys and all the best for the next trip 🤙
The Amish are truly amazing, resilient people. Their faith is the cornerstone for everything they do. Im so glad I found your channel and plan on being here for a while! God Bless!🙏💯💪
I'm actually surprised you were able to find someone to take you in as Amish can be VERY nice and kind but they often can be also quite distrusting towards strangers just because they fear of being scammed or hurt in some ways.
But as you see once they realize you are a good person they open up like a book and love to talk about you and your life.
They live a simple but happy life. ❤
I’m not Amish… but I am a Christian conservative. If three random men (even as kind as you are) came up to our farm and asked to help us for free I would be super skeptical as well. We occasionally encounter strangers and do our best to be helpful and accommodating but unfortunately, nowadays, there are quite a lot of shady characters who have self serving agendas who they are willing to harm others on behalf of. 😢 So we have to be careful. I’m happy to see you found such lovely people who were willing to share their lives and homes with you. What a beautiful video. 😊 God bless and keep you and yours. 🙏🏻✝️🕊️
May the Lord bless you and your family with peace, closeness and happiness. 🪻🩷💜🌸
"Ask and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7 also reminds us that we should open our doors if someone knocks. If you have god in your heart, that faith is stronger than your fear and scepticism.

What gets me is Christian’s voting for a man who is so unchristian. The Republican Party is so very lost. God bless.

My eyes popped out of my skull at 1:21 ❤ WOW
That last family was great. Singing hymns and sharing their faith, that's what so many families are missing nowadays.
Over the last couple months I’ve been driving up to Lancaster PA every other weekend to grocery shop at an Amish food market. Now I don’t know if they’re all Amish cause there are like other sects from what I understand. They are the kindest people to deal with. So polite and actually grateful for the business. They are good people.
they might be mennonites, very similar but definitely a lot of differences in some of their practices and beliefs
As a person from the hood of Florida, this was pretty cool to see. 💯
This was so cool! I used to live in South Apopka. Idk where you’re at but thought I’d say hey! 👋 😊

It takes guts to do what you do and the persistence is always there. So proud of you for always giving this your all. I know human connection means the world to you
I honestly love this channel man. It makes me so happy. More than I expected when I initially found you.
You guys are always so respectful I guess that's why you're such a success
I smiled and laughed throughout this whole video!! I wish you were able to post more but I understand it’s difficult. I’m always excited to watch and see your guys genuine connection with people. Please keep doing what you’re doing, we love it 🥰
This is a excellent video. I've worked roofs with the Amish, they are SKILLED laborers, and so fun! I'll be happy to be those 2 things for life!
The "Are those facebook people going to be your friends when there is a legitimate issue" statement speaks volumes.
Their homes and land is all so beautiful. You can tell they really take pride in what they do and what they have. They all seem so kind and sincere. I love those people. They are the way we as a nation once were. While watching this I kept thinking I would love to meet these people.
What a great vid! I love it that you guys are respectful of a different way of life, refreshing to see something positive like this on RUclips! Kudos 👍
I hope y'all send him mail every once in a while telling him how much you appreciate his kindness.
This is absolutely pure and beautiful. This is exactly what I needed today. Truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful break from the stresses of my day.
