Thursday A Day of Change

What a day to misplace the camera, we had so many things happening out at the ranch and no camera, Go Figure.

First of all we had a family that heard about the ranch and drove 3 hours this morning to see the ranch and one comment the mother made was that she had heard about places like this in the states but never here in Canada. She does some foster parenting and is always looking for options for young adults that are searching for purpose in their lives.

Next we had Adco electric show up and we now have power to the pump house and the hookup to the shop is ready till final work is done inside the shop. James and I are working on the mechanical room walls and we hope to see Tim out to look things over tomorrow. Atco guys stayed for lunch and so I whipped up a feed of bratwurst, sourkraut and progies covered with butter and onions, nothing special but did they ever eat that all up.

We also spent time with the horses and we tried out the new rake to clean away the horse droppings and it works just honky Dori.

Looks like prince will have a bit of surgery friday to help with his attitude and saftey around Misty.

The weather was great and as we were so blessed to be working on this plan that God has to impact the lives of those that are just not sure what they can do, and an oppertunity for many that would like to come out and pass on the wisdom they have learned over the years to the next generation.

THURSDAY'S PRAYER One of the realities facing missions and ministries today is the increasing need for everyone to recognize the importance of each ones involvment. Global workers who serve in restricted access nations are willing to go into scenarios that require great risk; they've been called and they've responded with a "yes". However, their yes won't amount to anything unless others gather around them and send the support needed to move the ministry ahead in building the kingdom of God. I think we can downplay the calling of being a "supporter"; it doesn't seem exciting, it seems like all we're doing is giving money and saying the occasional prayer. Friend, let me challenge you to see yourself as part of a greater TEAM; part of the kingdom initiative of reaching the lost wherever they are. When you support a global worker you DIRECTLY participate in the activity of mission around the world, but we can never forget that there is a great need here right at home also. Look around you and recognize the value of the collective; How Together Everyone Accomplishes More and the ranch that will be the first of it's kind will be completed.

Our financial and prayer partners are a blessing to us, each and every day and we wanted to be sure to let you know just how much we appreciate you. We believe that partnership goes both ways. We pray for our partners daily, and would appreciate the opportunity to agree with you in prayer for your needs more specifically. And we pray for blessing in your lives, as you follow the example of Isaac who sowed in the midst of a famine. The result for him was that he received a hundred-fold return in that same year of famine (Genesis 26:1,12). We pray that same blessing for you, that God will show His abundance to you in every area of your lives and that you will reap a great harvest in Jesus name Amen.
