Saturday -and always so much accomplished PTL

Amazing how God provides the supplies we need if we are patient and and and and wait. We needed warning tape for an underground line we were burying we got in a hurry and bought a roll but on the way out to the ranch this morning there was a mile of it in the ditch and so we stopped rolled it up and took it home. We can now return the stuff we purchased wow Go figure.

Once again we were blessed to be able to do carroling at several seniors homes with Bruce and Charlene. What a blessing as we hugged and greeted those that gave it all so we could have a country like ours to enjoy.

The ditch we dug for electrical to the watering trough is now filled and leveled and looks great.

The upper level insulation of the lodge looks really good today and monday they will be back to continue.

As always we get excited at the company we get every Saturday and today was no differant, Darcy and Kiwi and George and Allan stopped in for a visit. George will take on putting our siding on the lodge as he gets time, God is so Good.

Each of us has the opportunity to be so much more if we seek all God has for us.

- A better life

- A purpose to live

- To love someone

- To dream big

- Making our lives count for something

- The courage to step out of the boat

- It's not what we leave behind, but what we do to build the Kingdom of God hear

and now, with all he has blessed us with.

- To gain the confidence to be all that God has created them to be.

- The confidence to reflect the love of Christ to every one we meet.

1 Corinthians 2:9

New International Version (NIV)

⁹ However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—

Our young people need this type of a place, so take this and build that ranch. Mr. Ray Nelson

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

Our hope and prayer is to let as many of you know about the ranch as possible so that the hope it will bring and 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 friend 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 life skill. Many men and women today have no idea about their future or what they could be good at and to 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. 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 we would be very appreciative, and would love to talk to you and would very much appreciate your help in what ever way you can. Even if you could help with a small one time donation or a larger one it would help so much to bring this life changing facility and place of hope to be opened by this fall.

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.
