Praise Report on the Women! 🙌✨
This week has been an incredible week of growth, fellowship, and experiencing the presence of God.

🌅 Monday: A Journey to the Men’s RanchOn Monday, the women were excited to spend the day at the Men’s Ranch and experience firsthand their daily routine. The ladies woke up at 2:00 a.m., and we headed to the Men’s Ranch, where they had breakfast and were then assigned duties alongside the leaders and men of the Ranch.From cleaning horse stalls, pig pens, and holy lines, to participating in Bible studies, popcorn prayer, praise and worship, and most of all hearing Rafa’s testimony, the women experienced every part of the day. I will attach photos below because you can truly see how much they enjoyed being there and how deeply they felt the presence of God. The women were in awe and are still taking everything in.It has been a blessing to witness their growth, eagerness to learn, and desire for more of God. The men did an amazing job showing the women what their work entails and, even more importantly, demonstrating what it looks like to work together in unity, discipline, service, and brotherhood.

📖 Tuesday: First Day of School of Ministry!Staff and I felt like proud mothers sending our daughters off to their first day of school. We were almost in tears watching them receive their binders and step into this new season of growth.Each woman sat at a different table, which gave them the opportunity to fellowship with others, share about the Women’s Ranch program, and tell pieces of their testimonies. They came back sharing how impressed people were when they heard about the program and what God has been doing in their lives.

🙏 Stepping Forward in BoldnessWhat touched me most was hearing each woman express how grateful and proud she is to be part of the Women’s Ranch. They also shared that when their tables were instructed to pray, everyone became quiet and our women were the ones who stepped forward and began the prayer!I love seeing the confidence God is building within them. Women who may have once been afraid to speak, pray, or believe in themselves are now becoming women willing to step forward, use their voices, and boldly pray in front of others.These moments remind us why we do what we do. We are not only watching women learn; we are watching God transform them.

🔥 Witnessing the TransformationTheir hunger for the Lord is growing.Their confidence is growing.Their desire to serve is growing.And most importantly, their understanding of who they are in Christ is growing.I am incredibly proud of each one of them and grateful for everyone who continues to pour into the Women’s Ranch and make opportunities like these possible.
