In a little over a month from now, we will be celebrating our one year anniversary of officially launching the ranch.  It is hard to believe that almost a year has gone by since this whole ministry hit the ground running.  We always knew that getting to the one year mark would be a challenge.  You see, statistics show that at least 50 percent of nonprofits fail within the first year. It’s understandable when you consider that most organizations require start-up costs, and those costs can quickly spiral into an insurmountable debt mountain.
 
God has been with us every step of the way, and has faithfully provided for each piece of our startup that we completed in 2024, including excavation, a riding arena, round pen, pasture fencing, and the exterior and partial interior of a beautiful barn.  

We are so blessed to say that we will be going into our Spring 2025 season with no debt, and with the enthusiasm and courage.to continue seeking funding to complete other needed projects, like an indoor bathroom for our guests and volunteers.

This spring we will be constructing and opening our new greenhouse that was so generously donated by Beltrami Electric Cooperative. This is such an exciting addition to our ranch as it will allow us to start providing a diverse selection of options for working with a mentor that goes beyond the arena.

Prayer Requests: 1:  That God’s hand would be at work in grant requests for items like a tractor, wood shop, and materials to finish our bathroom and office.  2. That the youth that need to be reached get plugged into our session program.
