New Land and Home Project
Have you heard the news? In November we took a loan to purchase 94 acres and a farmhouse that bordered Miracle Mountain Ranch. After only 2 months, we were able to pay off this 15-year loan for $223,000! We are so thankful for the support of those who chose to help the ministry in this unique opportunity.
The next part of this project is to raise enough funding to rebuild the farmhouse on the new property so that it can be used as a staff home. We estimate that it will cost $115,000 to fix up the house and improve access to the property. We invite you to help us finish up this project!
Warren Gives
Warren Gives is a unique event where our county helps raise awareness for nonprofits and provides a partial match on donations given throughout the event. Every qualifying donation up to $1,000 is partially matched, so your donations on this day go further! They also cover all credit card fees if you give online during the event. The money raised this year will go towards Fort Wilderness and the Scholarship Fund.
This spring, we are turning back to a project we started a couple of years ago – rebuilding Fort Wilderness. An accidental fire burned down the Fort 4 years ago. We received donations and insurance money to rebuild. We have $42,000 in that fund, but we’ll need to raise about $60,000 more to finish the project. The Fort will have two bunkhouses for camping, a picnic area, an outdoor kitchen area, and a campfire area for kids to enjoy.
During the summer, kids can choose to upgrade their camp to include a memorable overnight experience at the fort after they ride out on horseback or hay wagon. We also host retreats like our Father-Son and others from this outpost location. Consider donating on this day to send families and youth to camp and finish the Fort Wilderness project. You can find more info about Warren Gives at warrengives.org.
Around Camp
We are consistently working on small building projects and maintenance projects like painting, carpentry, landscaping, and mechanical work. If you or your group would like to come to the Ranch for a volunteer experience, please let us know. We couldn’t do what we do without great volunteers.
