WOMEM with PURPOSE cont.

April 10th was a day of adventure at Battle River Ranch as my aunt Sandy and I joined Harold, Diane, and Keenan to install some plastic piping. A new experience for most of us but a few hours later when the goal was complete we felt excited, totally wiped out, and accomplished pipe installers. Listening to the interaction, when Harold patiently gave us instructions sometimes a second or third time, gave me a glimpse of what will happen, hopefully this fall, when the students arrive to start a new part of their life.

Instructions from Harold weren't written down so were more subject to interpretation, than when we are given instructions from the Lord through scripture. When you look at the whole picture, God has a plan for us and if we follow the plan, our paths will definitely go straighter and with less re-doing.

I look forward to walking on the completed floors warmed by water through the pipe we installed today. I also look forward to the days when I get something right the first time, instead of having to re-do, or choose to settle for something less than God's best for me and the people around me.

Seeing how God used the various gifts He has given us to accomplish much, was rewarding as we had some great turkey soup that was donated as well as some yummy dessert. Sandy, retired from book-keeping, was cleaning and getting the vacuum running better, even the dogs were working, doing advance garden protection by eliminating some gophers.

Call (306)825-7734 to see how you can be a part of getting the ranch ready for fall. You'll be glad you did!

Finishing the evening with a most delicious dinner at the Lucky Garden and gracious hostesses Shelley than topped off with a Dairy Queen Blizzard what more could one ask for.

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. 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 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.
