Girls Bible Club

We started a bible club this winter for girls ages 8-13. We have a group of 11 girls so far. We get right into the word and learn about what God has to say about issues that they are dealing with in their life. They enjoy a dinner together and then go out and work(play) cleaning up the ranch or horses.

Clean Up Day

SVYR clean up day at the ranch. Need volunteers this Saturday March 10th from 10am-4pm, anytime you can. Take in active role in getting the ranch ready for this spring. Lots of poop scooping and dirty hay removal. Thank You.

UPDATE: Thank you to all that donated your time. It was a successful day getting this place clean and safe for the kids.

New Shelter

As of Monday, Feb 6th, the new shelter is done. Just in time for the spring rains and the hot summer sun.

2012 SVYR

Welcome everyone, 2011 was our first year open. 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
