EAGLES NEST RANCH

Wednesday, April 7, 2010

This is Chester. Unfortunately he is in "Witness Protection" so was unavailable for a photo. (just kidding) I will get a picture asap. He is a Quarterhorse/Thoroughbred. He is well broke and seems to have a wonderful personality. He works real well on the ground - imagine a horse with manners.... go figure.

Meanwhile Back At The Ranch

After many years of prayer and seeking God’s direction, Eagles Nest Ministries has been able to return to its original vision. Although we have been busy in ministry activities, our heart has always been to establish a “Ranch” where we could minister to people, especially those in ministry. In March of 2005, we purchased a 160 acre working cattle ranch in Osoyoos, British Columbia. Our son Casey and his family have moved with us and live in one of the two houses on the property. We together co-pastor “The Gathering Place” church in Osoyoos, as well as the recently opened “Cowboy Church” in Rock Creek. Our ranch “Son Rise Acres” is located just off of Highway 3, midway between these churches. Since last year, we have been kept very busy with both churches. We have completed a considerable amount of renovations. Along with the regular fencing for the cattle, we also built a 65 foot round pen, a fully enclosed breaking pen and a 80 x 110 riding arena. With the help of a few neighbors built a small Chapel. It seats 300 (12 at a time). It is has a stain glass window and a steeple featuring a bell. We are now ready to begin our second phase - building several cabins and a common washhouse. The purpose for these would be two-fold; providing accommodations for students we bring in for summer ministry training; and to provide accommodations for pastors and their spouses who need a time of renewal. It is amazing how therapeutic it is to get on a horse and ride for an hour or watch a sunset as you sit by the campfire. It is in those times you can reflect on the goodness of God and His ability to help you live as you were created to live.
