Saturday So blessed

Wow what a Saturday as so many showed up to help at the ranch, we had a lady show up to help Melissa with the horses especially prince who has been giving us a lot of trouble lately. Ladies in the kitchen preparing a phenomenal lunch as usual. Ryan and Jessica moved their holiday trailer out for the weekend and enjoyed a quiet weekend as Ryan continued building the basement steps. Camron and I worked on the west gable getting all the sheeting done for the roofers that are to arrive next week. We got a few loads of gravel hauled on to the dirt road and hopefully we will get the dirt covered soon.

Our new to us man lift has been such a blessing and today we had a guy that runs his own small engine repair shop near the ranch volunteer to come out and service the engine on the man lift and any other engine's we need help with. He said he just wants to do something to help. Just amazing how God provides the help that's needed in order for us to keep moving ahead building His project. I guess when you give it all to Him and stay focused on God's way and vision for the ranch it just works that way. We were also told that our animals are so gentle and peace full and very calm out here. Like our tee shirts from Swift Current say Don't mess with what's Blessed. Can you imagine if God said one thing and did another what could ever get done and would there ever be peace about anything. NOPE.

Matthew 6:33

New International Version (NIV)

³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

All the kids at the ranch safely played and were monitored at all times as they were allowed to be free to run and play.

I was asked to MC a fundraiser for a biker friend of ours from Lloyd this evening and it was a great time for all. We raised a whole lot of much needed cash for Rick and many well wishes were sent off to him. Rick you are loved by many as was seen by the crowd that continued to file into the legion facility.

I got home from the ranch as soon as possible bit near home a kid got tangled up in his bike so we stopped and did what had to be done and we fixed his bike and sent him on his way.

After the fundraiser we were blessed with a whole lot of goodies that were donated to the ranch

We donated some of our hand made crosses to the fundraiser and all of them raised a whole lot of funds, one went for $140.00 wow God is good.

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.
