Who could have guessed how much could be accomplished with only a few for Saturday work day at the ranch. Cel and I arrived this morning to work on the overhead doors and complete the installation. Well no sooner had we started and along comes Larry Polard to help for the day, and then Les showed up to work on our security system and telephone lines etc. Les also helped me with the burying of the electrical lines. Then later in the day Laurie showed up to help and so the day was another real blessed day as the help that we needed arrived at the right time.
Diane blessed us all with a great lunch and desert (from Erika) and then stayed to do a whole lot of clean up that the office always needs.
Glenda blessed us with a couple of round bales of hay for the horses and did we ever need it, thank you so much.
We are almost done with the bobcat as the trenching is near completion and we will have to return it to Emile, it's been such a huge blessing.
We hope to start on the basement of the lodge next week so please pray that funding and donations for the lodge basement will continue to come in so we can get started as soon as possible. The material package for the basement and the main floor will cost about
$ 10,000.00, or if any of you know of someone that would donate this material or would consider it we would send you a material list of what is needed.
Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog.The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive life skill. Many men and women today have no idea what they could be good at or how to find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based training center.
Harold and Diane Stephan left a life filled with addictions and bad choices. Their journey has taken them through different twelve step programs and life recovery through a relationship and healing process with Jesus Christ. If it were not for caring people in their lives that never gave up on them or thought they were a hopeless cause they too would still be lost.
We would love to hear from you and if you feel this is a program and facility that would help you or someone that you know, or you would like to be more involved with a ministry like this or support it financially we would love to talk to you and would very much appreciate your help in what ever way you can.
This is a ministry for those that have a heart and desire to make a difference in the lives of others with the skills and gifts they have been blessed with and have a desire to pass on what they know to the next generation.
You are always welcome to visit and we look forward to your input. This ministry is prayer based, and we pray daily for the needs of others, if you have a need for prayer and not sure where to start give us a call and we will confidentially support and help you in this area. You may not know a lot about God but God knows everything about you and He loves you more than anyone can or ever will.
God Bless You and Your Family!!!
Harold & diane Stephan and
Board of Directors of the Battle River Ranch Camp
Psalm 23 (King James Version)
Psalm 23
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
