Saturday -and always so much accomplished PTL

Our Saturday at the ranch again was filled with wonder at God's presence in our lives as we support and stand by each other in hearing and feeling his gentle breeze. His grace and blessing is abundant, step by step, minute by minute we need to draw closer to Him. I mess up so bad every day and ever day wonder how God can use a wretch like me and often there are reminders of my many short comings. One thing Diane and I have learned is we are who we are today because of Christ in us, far from perfect, and and so every day we need to get back up, refocus and move on ahead.

Today as we worked at putting windows and doors into place and getting the lodge sealed up or winter I watched James F. and Jim S. as they worked together with quite a age differance. They both shared acquired wisdom with such respect that the job got done with a few grunts and groans and finished with a few laughs and praises to our Lord for His safety and peace. I am sure it's God's way that we should pass on to each other blessings that build.

Leveling and graveling the ground for homes to be constructed another way that God has directed us to train and raise funds for the ranch to sustain and improve life.

As always you are more than welcome to join us, as we journey with our Lord, building the Kingdom of God with the gifts he has blessed us with.

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.

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.
