Wears Valley Ranch is 
One Fine Place! 
 
The Ranch has a new address!  Over the next few months, you may notice a transition from our old mailing address to a new one:
 

100 One Fine Place

Sevierville, TN 37862

 

The Ranch has not moved, and mail addressed to our old address will still reach us.  As we reach out to new students, radio listeners and friends, we are glad to have a mailing address that is easy to remember.  We also want every one to know that the Ranch is not the place of last resort; it is the opportunity of a lifetime!  By God's grace, the Ranch truly is One Fine Place... and more!

 

Special thanks to French Camp Academy who have used One Fine Place as their address for years and who graciously supported our using it as well.  Also thank you to County Commissioner Ben Clabo and others in Sevier County whose support made this change possible.  God bless you all!

Greetings!

One of the great joys of my position at the Ranch is hearing from former students. Sometimes it is a request for counsel or prayer, sometimes a celebratory update regarding a recent accomplishment. 

 

I want to pass their thanks along. We are able to do what we do because of friends like you who pray for this ministry and support us with generous, even sacrificial, gifts. These children and their families could never afford the services that are provided for them. Instead, people all over the country whose hearts have been touched by God's love reach out with compassion and help provide an extraordinary place of hope and healing.

 

So, for the hundreds who have lived at the Ranch and the thousands of families who have received counsel and other ministry, I want to offer you, our prayer warriors and donors, a sincere word of appreciation. God is using your obedience to make a difference for eternity!

Congratulations to Harley Cook, our most recent graduate. Harley came to the Ranch in 2005, and we are so proud of the young man he is becoming! A huge thank you to all the staff and volunteers who have poured into Harley's life throughout his time at the Ranch.
