Though it has been a while since the Prayers and Praises have been posted, please be assured that your prayers have been felt all summer and there is much to be praising God for. Thank you for faithfully lifting the ranch up in your prayers.
PRAISES
For evidence of children and teens realizing being made in God’s image, they are perfect just the way they are no matter what others may say. To know that their faces can reflect happiness and joy because Jesus is the source of the reflection others see.
For mentors and wranglers seeing God work in miraculous ways from day to day, week to week, in the sessions.
For parents who have seen changes in their children and teens that hadn’t been achieved during traditional therapy sessions.
For volunteers who have stepped up to help get the hay in the barn and donations of hay that has been donated.
For team bonding sessions bringing awareness to school administrators, teachers, and corporate leaders encouraging improved work environments.
For faithful financial support through monthly and individual donations.
PRAYERS
For everyone who comes to the ranch for any reason can feel God’s presence in the peace and quite that can be found.
For God’s direction as we formulate additional programs for adults
For people to come forward to help put on the Fall Festival by running the games, tickets sales, and other areas. We especially need someone to be a DJ to play music and make announcements.
For our college-age mentors who will be returning to school or entering new careers.
For our wranglers who will be returning to classes at home or school.
For Lisa, Judy, and Abbey, as they adjust to a different pace at the ranch with busy summer sessions being over.
For God to raise up financial partners who are willing to match donations or sponsor the ranch though workplace giving.
For the continued health of our horses as they age.
Thank you for praying!

When you are tempted to complain about imperfections you think you might have, consider these Biblical examples:
Moses stuttered but God used him to be a great spokesman
Jacob had a limp yet God chose him to be a great leader
Zacchaeus was noticeably short and not liked because of his occupation, but God accepted him and chose to eat with him.
King Saul and King David dealt with depression.
