Staff Home Renovation
We have been focusing on renovating a former staff house that has been vacant for the past year. We have been updating the kitchen, plumbing, and other areas that needed fixing after a water line break and doing some work on the house’s exterior. This project is nearly finished, and the house is almost ready for a new staff family to move in.
Town Hall Kitchen
We have been working on medium-sized projects on the Ranch during the winter. The office staff have been renovating the kitchen/meeting area in the town hall by removing the cabinets, painting, and updating the floor, all of which will make this space a better meeting place.
Fort Wilderness
Last fall, we started on the second turret of Fort Wilderness, but we did not have time to finish before the weather changed. We are back at it and hope to get the frame up soon. Our goal is to have this second turret ready for use during the summer.
New Staff Home
Our next big project is a full renovation & remodel of a new staff home. You probably remember that we purchased 90 acres and a farmhouse last year. God supplied us with enough to pay off the mortgage, and we have raised enough money to start renovating the house. This will be a big project because the house is in need of significant work. So far, we have been fundraising, assessing the needs, and cleaning it out. We plan to start the renovation side of the project soon. We still need to raise approximately $30,000 for this project, and we would welcome volunteer construction crews.
Playground Project
We are moving the playground from behind the Ox Yoke to behind the Brokenstraw. We envision this being a much more interactive and expansive play area for families and youth to enjoy (see model picture above). Join us in supporting the Ranch during Warren Gives on May 14th as we raise funds for this project and the scholarship fund.
We have 700+ kids already signed up for summer camp and anticipate an exciting spring retreat season. This is also the season for accepting staff for summer camp. We could not do camp without staff and volunteers! The staff at Miracle Mountain Ranch appreciates your prayers as we disciple youth and families and share the hope found in Jesus Christ with our community and the world. We invite you to attend an event or volunteer at the ministry.
