<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have been reflecting on Son Valley Youth Ranch’s 2012
blessings. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure we have had our trials
and troubles but oh are we blessed, yes indeed. To name a few; We have a
tractor on our property that is being loaned to us, 37 rolls of hay donated, 13
sold wood handmade benches made, shelter built, lots of firewood donated, arena
ground prepared, found a grant writer, and developed a youth bible study. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best blessing of all is 16 people received
Christ this year at the ranch! Praise the Lord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sessions are closed in the winter but we are still busy with
daily chores and preparing the ranch for the kids that will come in 2013.
Upcoming events; Mandy and I are taking five girls to a Christian youth
conference in February. It is a 2-day event packed with powerful Christian
bands and speakers, setting the stage for our youth to have a life-changing
encounter with the living God. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><strong>Then April
7th we are so excited to have Tommy Tinder and other bands giving their time
and talent to S.V.Y.R fundraising concert at the Grand Theatre.</strong> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Prayer partners if you could pray with us for our needs to
be met.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need a water line for a hydrant

It was wonderful how much we were blessed with over 100 children visiting the ranch and 8 volunteers. We were able to raise around 12,000 dollars between donations and fundraising. That doesn't count the items donated. The beautiful new SVYR sign was made by John Humphry, my son-inlaw. A man donated 25 round bales of hay. Awesome!! Neighbors with a big tractor took time to move the hay for us to the field. We also were given a manure spreader and harrow, this allows us to keep the pasture up. God has truly blessed the ranch. We are very excited about 2012 and the projects we are planning for the youth and families. We have already started a bible study in January. It's on Mondays from 4-7 for young girls. It includes eating, study the New Testment and covering things they have to deal with everyday. Then out to the horses to love on them and do some chores. God bless you and we hope you can become a partner with this wonderful ministry. 2012<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a1SrqwQycVY/TyaNxXb8URI/AAAAAAAAAI0/_XmcqNowvQg/s1600/Dona%2526Jeff.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703401857355632914" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a1SrqwQycVY/TyaNxXb8URI/AAAAAAAAAI0/_XmcqNowvQg/s400/Dona%2526Jeff.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>Dona & Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442951987490325801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570986068763040903.post-5804566703483086702011-09-13T07:55:00.000-07:002011-09-13T08:26:24.339-07:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">1st Annual </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">Son Valley Youth Ranch Fall Festival </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">& Grand Opening</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">October 8th, 2011 </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">Starts at 2 p.m.</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">Rescued horses helping children and families in the Tri-State community.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">Wayland, Kahoka, Keokuk, Hamilton, Canton, Quincy</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">Come celebrate with us and see how Jesus is blessing our community.</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">Silent Auction, Live Music, Hayrides, Games, Face painting, Free meal (5-6p.m.), Campfire, </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">& Meet the Horses; Velvet, Bambi, Neko, Rusty, Smokey, Shadow, Dancer, and Mercy.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">Auction winners announced at 6p.m.!</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993300;">SVYR is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

There were 22 girls between the ages of 9-12 and 4 leaders. We all had a great time! God had is hand over our camp as it all came together and went so smoothly. We couldn't of done it without the support of so many people in our community. Thank you to our church family (Evangelical Free Church in Keokuk) for contributing food and tents. Thank you to our ranch <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">volunteers</span> for your hard work at<br />preparing the ranch and setting up the camping <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">necessities Jeff, John, Gabe, Samantha, and Shannon. Thank you to the leaders and helpers to make the camp a success; Dona, Mandy, Mary, Morgan, Myranda, Hannah, and Amanda. And thank you to the </span>parents for allowing your children to enjoy our camp-out.<br /><br />We started on Saturday at 1pm. Every girl got a SVYR tee shirt and a picture with a horse. First we had water play with water toy wars and the pond. Second we went on a nature scavenger hunt hike. Then we ate our casserole dinner. Next was horse sessions for half of the girls. The other girls had good old fashsion fun and games to play but some of them went back to water play. Some skinny stray dogs showed up and got a lot of love from a few of the girls. Then we ate and ate and ate smores. Next we had campfire songs with Hannah. Then we did a barn dance. It was dark by now so the girls played flashlight tag. We sent them to their tents for the night at 10:30pm and they talked until ????<br /><br />On Sunday Destiny was our early bird. She and some other early risers did the morning ranch chores with me. During our chores we found an injured baby bunny. We brought it back to the barn and I am still nursing it back to health. Then we all slowly woke up and had a simple breakfast. Next horse sessions for the other half of the girls. The rest of the girls either played or went for a dip in the pond. Then we had our children's church service telling the kids how much each of them is loved and valued by God. Next we did crafts, like painting the real horses and making picture frames for their keepsake photo with a horse. We finished our camp with wiener roast lunch. Feeding over 45 people which included some parents as they joined us to pick up their children. We can't wait until the next one.<br /><br />1 John 4:19 <em>We love because He first loved us. </em>This is why SVYR does all of this. We have the love of Jesus and want to share that love and joy with others. Amen.Dona & Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442951987490325801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570986068763040903.post-16223892879200058542011-06-05T15:14:00.000-07:002011-06-05T15:25:25.396-07:00Garage Sale Success!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XSab_wljJgI/TewATWf8_rI/AAAAAAAAAHs/rHjnyLRAIok/s1600/IMG_1490.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614863167881281202" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XSab_wljJgI/TewATWf8_rI/AAAAAAAAAHs/rHjnyLRAIok/s320/IMG_1490.JPG" /></a> Our Garage Sale Fundraiser was a Huge success. We exceeded our goal and raised over $1500. A big thank you to all who donated or bought items. We couldn't have raised any $$ without the support of our E-Free church family and community. Also thank you Mandy for her time and taking over her house. I have some awesome teenage volunteers that helped out too, thanks Gabe, Natalie, and Dwan. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Dona & Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442951987490325801noreply@blogger.com0
