Terrific Tuesday

As Peggy, Diane and I continue to get the Christmas letters out and I spend time with business men thanking them and talking about our plans for the new year, we are encouraged with the great continued support and how it is growing.

James and Larry are doing a great job out at the ranch tying loose ends for Tim and framing walls, as well as looking after all the animals.

God had a plan to use His people in order to bring about the birth if his Son Jesus Christ. No enemy would stand in the way of that plan. God's plan is still being carried out today. The responsibility of each follower of Christ is to discern God's will for doing his or her part in bringing closure to God's plan. The responsibility of the church is to proclaim God's plan for His people to each of us and then how He will use us to be an impact on our community.

As we look at the history of God's people, may we:

-Remember that God provided deliverance from the challenges to His plan for the salvation of this world.

-Remember that, "Power and might are in your hand..." v.6

-Remember that, "...the battle is not ours , but yours" v.15

-Being sensitive to God's call on our lives in order to do our part in His great plan of Salvation.

-By celebrating God's power in the message of Christmas.

God has a message for each of us in this upcoming Christmas season. While each of us has had and are having many challenges God's plan for salvation and healing for everyone is still the same. The birth of Jesus Christ ushers in God's power plan to overcome the enemies of His love and truth through this baby who was born to defeat the powers of Satan and all evil.

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
