Chundrlek Family Newsletter

Fall 2025

Dear Friends and Family,

As always, we really appreciate you taking the time to read our newsletter! We are excited for the changing of the seasons and with that, the changing of gears within the ministry. The 2025 summer Camp season has come and gone and we are now setting our sights on our fall retreat season and wrapping up some outdoor projects before the snow arrives. We finished the summer with 1208 kids attending summer camp and over 360 split between our two Family Camps! Within those numbers there are represented many souls that are now trusting in Christ for salvation and many that have recommitted to their preexisting relationship with Jesus.

Our Graduation Weekend back in August was bitter sweet but went well. It is hard to say goodbye to students that have been with us one or two years. However, it is exciting to see where God will take them in this next stage of life. Our 2025-2026 school year has begun and we are blessed to have 38 students here at the Ranch. Harmony and I have three students that we are directly mentoring this year. Amelia is joining us for a second year in the Equestrian Department and she is from Northwestern PA. Jordyn is here from the state of Washington, and Kayla has come all the way down from Alaska! We are so blessed to have front row seats to see what God will do in their lives over the course of this next year.

In other news, the school year is well underway in our home as well. This year, for the first time, all of our children are school aged. Jael is in Preschool, Gideon is in second, Grace in fifth and Frank is in sixth grade this year. In addition to the challenge of all of our children being homeschooled, Harmony and I have been in the process of moving for a very long time. We are very excited to have the opportunity to change staff homes. And we are even more excited to be done moving!

We greatly appreciate all of the prayers for my Dad’s health. He has had a rough year that has included several major, as well as several minor surgeries. He is doing better, and we are very thankful for that. The older that Harmony and I get the more we understand that a day without pain is highly unlikely and the more we appreciate the blessing of just being able to function! I am currently recovering from what seems to be another bout of Lyme Disease. It was the sickest that I have ever been in my life!

Our to-do-lists are being added to quicker than we can check items off. I’ve grown weary of hearing myself tell people how busy we are. It is like a competition with only losers as to who is busier. Everyone is busy. You’re busy, friends are busy, neighbors are busy, even kids are busy! The big question that has to be answered is not how do I become less busy? But rather, how do I continue to honor God, serve others more than myself, and maintain a genuine joy grounded in the knowledge of my salvation? The temptation that I think many of us have is to think of our lives as our own when in reality we continue to live only because it pleases God that we do so. The truth that sets us free from the soul- crushing busyness of life is that Christ died so that we may live in Him (Philippians 1:21).

We either strive in vain our whole lives building our own little kingdoms, only to die in sin, leave it to someone else, and spend eternity in Hell. (John 3:36 – “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”) Or, we trust in Christ, confess Him as Lord and take up the honor of building His kingdom with the time that we are given. This results in the peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:13) and an ever-increasing sense of joy and anticipation of one day being face to face with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is our hope and motivation to keep plugging away at the to-do-lists!

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are” 1 John 3:1a

In Christ,
The Chundrleks
