A Word from Mr. Pat
 
Dear Campers and Friends,                             August 2010
 
"The Horse is prepared against the day of battle, but victory is of God"  Proverbs 21:31
 
The Ranch is a labor of love, unselfishness, and accountability. The staff, volunteers, and supporters of the Ranch have seen that the goals, purpose, labor, and financial needs have been surrendered to the Lord. As each one has accepted their role and responsibility from God, they have been used by God.
 
Together as a team we have done what it takes to "get'er done".
 
The final foundation that built the Ranch is accountability. Not by any one individual, but by everyone who understood their role and accomplished what God had asked them to do. They realized that for the Ranch to be successful they would be used by God, and that in the end God would do His will in the lives of the many young people and adults who attend here. 1955 started the first summer ministry and as of today 525 young people have made the Ranch their "home away from home" for one or more weeks this summer.  Read more from Mr. Pat.
