Monday at the Ranch

Rancho Ebenezer Team

Serving at the ranch can take many different forms, because the needs are so varied.

We began our day with chapel with the Ranch kids and staff - how great to know that we are one family in Jesus! 

This morning our ranch Serve Team leader Ken decided to see what this team was made of.  He has a long-term goal of replacing the existing ranch boundary fence with chain link, and the ranch is 90 acres.  Yes, it’s a big goal.

So four of us (Ron, Terry, Sue, and Doreen) tackled digging fence post holes on one small stretch of a steep hill. Ron says we played a full round, because we managed to dig 36 holes before lunch.  It seems like a small contribution given the big picture goal, but we know that every little bit helps.  

Nancy and Jennifer devoted the morning to one-on-one tutoring sessions at Ebenezer Academy, while Patti jumped into a big project in the school library, adding pockets and cards to loads of books, so that they can have a reliable checkout process.  There are LOTS of books here for the kids - see Patti with just one small stack of books - there are many more!  

We all worked in the library during the afternoon to keep things moving there, and we relished the time together getting better acquainted.

We’re so thankful for this opportunity to serve the Lord and his children here!
