ABOUT THE FOUNDERS
The Longbranch Foundation was formed by Ryan and Nicole Poh & their four children: Colton, Bryndle, Raelynn, and JR. Their vision is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through tangible acts of kindness that reflect God’s unconditional love.
They currently reside in rural Lee County. Their love for this community began as children. Ryan grew up in the Auburn area. Nicole grew up in Lagrange, GA but lived in Auburn for a few years in elementary school.
The name “Longbranch” honors the legacy of Ryan’s late grandfather and the hunting club where Ryan spent much of his childhood, forming lasting memories in the woods that shaped his character and faith. They still visit the hunting club to this day with their kids.
Although their journeys have not been without hardship, Ryan and Nicole’s journey has paved the way to teach them the skills they will need to make this foundation a success. Their combined professional experience as local business owners, Licensed Registered Nurse and Licensed Realtor have taught them important skills like budgeting, marketing, finding resources, working with multiple ethnic groups, ages, special needs, disabilities & more. Ryan runs their company “Longbranch Site Works.” Nicole spends most her days homeschooling their 4 kids, managing their hobby farm, and coordinating homeschool field trips.
From difficult childhoods, financial challenges to the pain of multiple miscarriages and a near-divorce, they have experienced firsthand the sustaining power of God’s love and resurrection power. Their story is one of redemption, healing, and unwavering hope. With hearts surrendered to the leading of the Holy Spirit, they are committed to using this foundation as a vessel to glorify God and serve their community. Through The Longbranch Foundation, they hope to bring Gods light, love, and be a lasting impact to those in need.
