The Evergreen Initiative
Prepare in the years of plenty.
Biblical wisdom. Practical provision. Peace for the days ahead.
You don't need to be afraid of tomorrow. You need a plan for today.
We're helping families prepare their homes, build lasting provision, and learn the skills that will sustain them through every season.
Inspired by Joseph. Rooted in Goshen.
The Evergreen Promise
Your home can become a storehouse.
Practical preparation
With a few extra groceries in your pantry. Water stored away. Practical skills learned. A plan your whole family understands.
Family peace
You don’t need to be afraid of tomorrow. You need a plan for today.
Provision for others
We aren’t preparing to hide from the world. We’re preparing to become a source of provision within it.
One family. One home. One faithful step at a time.

Inside the plan:
- A clear path from three days to two weeks of preparedness
- Emergency water storage and treatment guidance
- Pantry planning and shopping lists
- Seven days of no-power meals, designed to repeat
- First aid, medication, and hygiene planning
- Lighting, backup power, and communication
No debt. No panic. No overwhelm.
Just a clear place to begin.
The Joseph Principle
He didn't panic. He prepared.
When God revealed that famine was coming to Egypt, He also provided a strategy.
Through Joseph, storehouses were established during the years of abundance so that when the difficult years arrived, families could be fed and lives could be preserved.
We believe there is wisdom in that example for families today.
- Prepare while there is plenty.
- Build what you can with what you have.
- Develop the skills you need.
- And remember those around you.
We aren't preparing to hide from the world. We're preparing to become a source of provision within it.
The Preparedness Pathway
A simple path to a prepared home.
-
01 — Make a plan
Begin with our Evergreen Family Starter Plan. Discover what your household needs, organize what you already have, and take your first practical steps toward three days of preparedness.
-
02 — Build your storehouse
Grow your provisions gradually. From three days to two weeks, then toward a deeper household reserve. Learn to store, organize, rotate, and use what you have.
-
03 — Learn the skills
Supplies are only half of preparedness. Learn practical skills that make your family more resourceful, capable, and self-sufficient.
-
04 — Become provision
A prepared household can become a blessing to others. Build with your neighbors in mind, strengthen your church, and help create communities where provision is already close to home.

The Evergreen Vision
Every home a storehouse. Every church a Goshen. Every community strengthened.
Our vision doesn't stop at the front door.
Every home — a storehouse
Families equipped with practical reserves, essential skills, and the confidence to care for their households.
Every church — a Goshen
Congregations preparing together, building shared resources, and becoming places of provision and refuge for their neighbors.
Every community — connected
Local farmers, growers, tradespeople, and teachers working together to build stronger, more resilient communities.
This is the future we're working toward.
Discover the Evergreen visionOur heart
From our family to yours.
We're Nate and Christy Johnston.
We're parents raising three daughters, and like many families, we've been asking how to build a home that is more grounded, more prepared, and less dependent on fragile systems.
Between Nate's background in outdoor survival and Christy's journey into homeschooling, growing food, baking, preserving, and returning to practical home skills, Evergreen began to take shape.
And we'd love for your family to join us.

For the church
What if every church became a storehouse?
Imagine congregations that are equipped not only to gather and worship but also to care practically for their communities.
- A pantry stocked through simple weekly giving.
- A team of faithful stewards.
- Practical skills being taught and shared.
- Local farmers and families connected.
- Doors that are open when neighbors need help.
We're developing the Storehouse Church model to help congregations begin simply and grow into places of provision.
It can start with one can a week.
