Tuesday

Dick and Judy as usual made us feel so at home as we got home late last evening, very tired and very cold. We left Halifax in balmy 14 degree weather, 17 in Toronto and minus 10 as we landed in Saskatoon. Climatization will have to happen quickly, but happen it will. As we sat waiting in Toronto we had many opportunities to share with travelers. Solomon who was traveling on to Saskatoon also told us about living in Saskatoon and waiting on his wife to be allowed to come over to Canada soon and join him. Then shortly before loading two friends of ours Cal and Linda, neighbors from Kindersley walked up and joined us. Jody sat next to Diane on the flight and as I sat back in my seat it was such a joy to listen as to how God has laid on Diane's heart such a passion for the many that will gain skills and confidence at the Battle River Ranch Camp. As she spent three hours telling Jody of many of the miracles and how God is impacting lives from across this country.Diane poured God's love into Jody a business women from Saskatoon. God built a strong friendship between them. Jody said as we parted ways we will be hearing from her.
After landing Victory was waiting to dash her parents away for a treat at Moxies and then a much needed sleep.

As I was waiting in the waiting room for Diane I looked around at the office of our doctor. To see all the pictures of babies, children and young adults. The picture of child development from conception to seniors all explains loud and clear the commitment to life.

This all draws me back to our CHP Christian Heritage Party board meetings and the only political party committed to protecting the unborn. I know it makes us shudder at the fact that our society seems more concerned about that new vehicle, image, new house or what ever than the 354 children that will loose their lives today by abortion, not because of illness or accident but out of convenience. What's even more horrendous is our government pays for this with out the usual explanation for were their money is going, over $500.00 per killing, hmmm Go figure !!!

Diane has been given a clean bill of health PTL, told she is a very healthy lady and to keep doing what she's doing. Yes we are going dancing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jesus.

The Battle River Ranch Camp is a one of a kind entry level faith based, trades and life skills opportunity facility. Offering an option to anyone that has been searching for an opportunity and is serious about finding out their area of strength and work place career possibilities.

Out hope and prayer is to let as many of you know about the ranch as possible so that the hope it will bring, the lives it will change and the encouragement it will provide can start as soon as possible.

The ranch will be a one of a kind facility and will offer an option to many like no other. When God has a plan and like our friends Mike and Pastor Lyle wisely told us just keep your focus and don't let the distractions pull you away from God's purpose.
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 and positive life skill.
Many men and women today have no idea about their future or what they could be good at and to how find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based and mentor based training facility and our hope is with the help of anyone that has a heart for helping so many to give each person that comes to the ranch an opportunity to find the skills they were created for.
;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.
