Our time on the ranch has come to an end, and what a great time it was! God truly blessed us at Saddle Ridge Ranch and moved greatly in the hearts of children over the past week.

Everyone did such an awesome job of giving to help others in our community. We were able to give a total of $609.48 to Apple Tree for school supplies to be purchased for children in Belton ISD. We were also able to give 2,017 canned good to Helping Hands from the Carl Pearson VBS Food Drive. Great job on being a cheerful giver! Your offering will bless many lives in the days and weeks to come.

63 children made various decisions for Christ during VBS! We rejoice with them and their families about what God has done and is doing in their lives!

We would like to thank everyone who made VBS possible this year. Directors, teachers, youth volunteers, recreation team, kitchen crew, registration, Paw Paws on Patrol, facilities staff, nursing care, video/sound, music leaders, missions, promotional team, church staff and interns – thank you all for giving your time, energy and talents! You are such a blessing!

Remember….Need answers? Ask God!

“Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.” James 1:5

Thank you for the outstanding response in giving. As of today we have collected 564 canned goods for the Carl Pearson VBS Food Drive and $323.34 for Apple Tree.
