Diane and I are so grateful for a Savior that put into play, a plan a long time ago. A plan to have certain people cross and impact our lives in sometimes small and almost unnoticeable ways and other times we look back at the great people that took time to share and live out the beautiful love of Jesus to draw us to an incredible life. Two badly messed up people without direction or hope of a life worth living.
This year we celebrate 30 years of not just life, but the abundant life, the life God promises each of us, if we just take that step and allow Jesus to be Lord of our lives. We have been so blessed to be a part of God's plan out here at the ranch. Not a day goes by without us seeing His hand moving and preparing the ground for another blessing or miracle. Watching lives changed, by the hope and confidence poured into those lives by grateful mentors who themselves know and understand what God has done in their lives and desire to see in each of the trainees who come to the ranch.
Gratitude is the materials that are used to build the next blessing or miracle in a persons life. And it matters not if the blessing and miracles are large or small without a grateful heart we can't expect a lot to come our way.
We are sincerely grateful for all the volunteers that bless the ranch all year long. For all the prayer warriors and donors, financially and materially! This ranch couldn't go forward without you, and we are so thankful for each one of you and know we couldn't have done any of it without your help. There are hundreds of you and we would like to thank each of you for your commitment to the lives of the many young adults that are overwhelmed that such an opportunity is available. A place safe and free of alcohol, drugs, cigarette smoke, pornography and many other life degrading habits and addictions. This is what the ranch is about, a safe place to grow in maturity and to learn a trade in which we can make an honest living and to be able to find which trade each trainee is gifted in.
Our hope and challenge to each of you is that you, in the next year would seek and savour the true and real message of hope that only Jesus Christ offers.
Sincerely
Harold and Diane Stephan
