When we realized that God was calling us to the Ranch, we thought, but how, Lord?  After Tim’s heart attack we were completely depleted financially. But through prayer and in typical “Big God” fashion, He brought together a group of like-minded Christ followers and together we were able to start Seven Springs Ranch. It wasn’t an easy start to say the least. It involved sitting in an empty house for 30 days waiting on God to find His team, blown motors, about 20 blown tires, hospital stays, car crashes, falls off trailers and through rotten porches and troublesome encounters with logs to the face.



Why keep going you might ask. We keep walking forward with our eyes on Jesus because God placed it on our hearts and He is constantly showing us why we are here. We have seen hearts restored, marriages healed, fearful hearts strengthened, relationships stirred from the other side of the world and the glory of God on every hillside, valley, creek bed and pasture on this ranch.


Its been a struggle financially.  In fact, this has been the hardest financial struggle of either of our lives.  We were arrogant in thinking that, if this was God's will, then He would provide so we could work tirelessly on much needed projects and improvements and not focus on funding.  During the first 6 months we received so many funding and project opportunities dedicated to the ranch and for whatever reason they did not materialize.   Sadly, that created a scenario where we began chasing funding and starting to get behind.   The last few weeks we have been in panic mode about losing the Ranch, allowing the enemy to steal our joy, rob us of our sleep and fill us with doubt, anxiety and fear. Then last night, our spirits settled, and we went into prayer. “Lord, we alone are powerless to save the ranch but you are sovereign. You are mighty and in control.  If this is your will, you will bring donations or partnerships that will allow the ranch to continue.
