Like a river

Such a great visit to visit family and friends in Kindersley and so many opportunities to advance the vision of hope for our youth right here at home. So many men and women feel abandoned by apathy and the pursuit of personal gain and personal rights. Each of us called to seek and save the lost (For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:10 NIV) often find it cost too much to look at the incredible need just outside out own backyards and so we choose a distant land to minister. The world without a doubt is a much better place but is the cost of a lost generation at home really worth it. I thank God for the many saints that invested and never gave up on me.
With a bit of time resources and mentoring so many youth can and will become active participants as a productive purpose filled part of society.

We are excited and looking forward at seeing as many of you as possible at our first annual ranch & family auction. So many items up for auction check out Scribner auction services out of Wainwright Alberta for complete auction listings. If you have items that you would like to donate please let us know as it all helps to build the ranch.

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.

Ranch update where you can help.

Each of us out here at the ranch, the executive, board of directors, staff and volunteers are so grateful to each and everyone of you for all you do to help the this God given vision and much-needed facility get completed. God loves each and every one of us no matter how bad we seem to mess up each day especially me, but that doesn't make him love us any less.
    I have heard it said God will equipped us if we would only give ourselves to his service. Then He will show us how to make a difference in the lives of those that he shows us to help.
In the past few weeks we've needed a lot of supplies to continue completion of the lodge, And every time we take it to the Lord in prayer it's only a matter of a few days and a miracle happens. We need all the flooring for the lodge so Kenny our flooring friend took it on and went and searched and in no time at all, all the flooring was donated and we got everything ready to go to get the flooring done.
   











For over three years we have been attempting to get a telephone line to the ranch, at one time the cost was $58,000.00,  once again after prayer and just seeking the Lord the price was reduced reduced to $9200.00. A couple from BC that knew about the ranch just happened to call and ask what our greatest need was and when we explained to them about the phone line and the cost, we were told a cheque would be in the mail. Just need to take a!!!! Praise the Lord Moment!!!!
      Now that the electrical is near completion because of donations and volunteer electricians helping, We need over $6000 worth of pine to complete the pine work on the basement level, Well you guessed it all the pine is been donated, and will be delivered next week God is so good. This week we're out of diesel again and we didn't have a monthly donor for this month so once again we went before the Lord. God should we do?  we need diesel, and we are on the last few gallons of diesel in the truck. So today God led me to one quick stop at someone's office that I was hoping maybe would help us out, Yep you guessed it, you're right,  they were more than willing to help and led us straight over to the husky truck stop to fill up our tanks. If you would like to be one of our monthly diesel donors please give me a call and I will fill you in on how you can fill us up.
     Our ready to move homesite is getting ready to start building homes again, we have several new homes ready to go and more on the way. WHITE FIRE HOMES has the home for you.
    The ranch will be a busy place this summer so please if you got time stopped in let us show you around, and bless you with some great ranch style home-cooked meals and share the love of God with everyone of you. We are so blessed every time you come to visit.
     We are also very excited about our first annual farm and family auction sale at the ranch we have over 400 items to auction off from a Harley-Davidson motorcycle to campers, semitrailers and a lot of other neat stuff including antiques and kitchenware, please come and enjoy a day of fun, food and a live band that evening. To know more about the auction go to Scribner auction services in Wainwright checkout their website.
     If you have anything you would like to donate to the ranch to put in the auction sale to raise funds please give us a call or drop it off at the office or at the ranch.
