Drive by blessings

Many thanks to our church family that continue to bless the ranch in every way possible. While we are a way often and yet our family stands by us and like yesterday and today couples arrive that we haven't met yet and are new to our church coming out to see were they can fit in to this incredible plan of God's for His people. Today our truck was broke down and along comes Chris and in no time at all the starter is removed repairs are made and we are back up and running. Our young friend from Saskatoon stands in amazement and can only say, is this the way it goes every day.

During our lunch break and as we prayed and discussed several situations that had to be dealt with I asked everyone all four to share were they would like their lives to be in five years. They shared all kinds of dreams and hopes nothing unusual. I then challenged them to come and see me in five years and to tell me about were their lives have come to. I guaranteed them that with out God and Jesus as Lord of their lives very little would change for them from now to then, but that with and if Jesus was in control they would be blessed as the ranch is with an abundant life.

We are nearing the stage of interior finishing and we need 14,000 sq. ft. of interior pine and cedar to finish the entire inside of the three levels of the lodge. If you know of anyone that deals with pine or cedar and we can tell them about the ranch and see if they can help us thank you.

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.
