An Update From The Rosie Family
March 2025 Update
We hit the new year running with a full lineup of retreats at Miracle Mountain Ranch – Winter Blast, S.A.L.T., and the Men’s Retreat. We also have Cowboys for Christ, Quilters Retreat, Couples’ Retreat, and more coming up soon.
We are also starting our spring outreach time with an upcoming RV Adventure show, several homeschool conventions and two pastoral events. We take information about Miracle Mountain Ranch to these events to let people know what we have to offer. The local events are also a great way for us to get to know our community.
It has been a cold winter (we have not really seen the ground since Christmas!) and the end of February is looking much the same. At least we don’t have mud!
As the CFO of Miracle Mountain Ranch, Donnie has been working to budget, audit, organize, and manage the Ranch’s finances. He has a great team, and this has been an enjoyable opportunity. The other side of this role is to help with fundraising. MMR is trying to raise support for building a new staff home, scholarships for camp funds, the general fund, and another special project. We are so blessed to have so many people who help make camp and discipleship happen. This ministry could not happen without support and generosity.
In addition, Donnie has had the opportunity to preach for Lance Evangelical Free Church. Lance is a supporting church and we have had the opportunity to be involved there for the past 20 years. These long-term relationships are a blessing. In March, he is also going to a pastors’ conference where he will volunteer to take pictures for ministry leaders.
In March we are headed to the Centerpoint Church Missions Week, where we will share about our ministry. We will also have the chance to visit friends and family – and it just happens to be over Donnie’s 43 birthday! Hard to believe he came to MMR when he was only 18.
We continue to work on our house. Yes, it has been two years, but we are trying to do it right. We have some great help and we are getting close. We do plan to move this year (I know, we said that before) but it will be this year for sure. It should not change too much with our role here at MMR. It is only about 10 minutes down the road.
The kids are rolling through their school year! George (14) enjoys history and is really excelling in his artistic abilities. Cole (12) loves to ski and is taking a writing class and doing well. Grant (10) gets up most mornings for chores at the barn and has really gotten into pickleball lately! Karis (8) is getting more confident in her reading and joined a swim team this winter. They are all looking forward to summer camp season!
Tonya keeps busy with the kids’ schoolwork. She also hosts a mom’s group every other week and is mentoring a couple of young ladies. She has also ventured into the world of grinding flour for her sourdough bread.
We are so grateful for all of those who support us in our work here at the Ranch. Thank you!
In Christ,
Donnie, Tonya, George, Cole, Grant & Karis
