We love having teens on our volunteer teams! They make doing chores and even the simplest task, way more fun!

So, let's have some fun this morning! Who has the best caption for this photo?! 📷

🐷💦We weren’t the only ones who needed to cool off! Did you know pigs don't have sweat glands or any other way to efficiently cool themselves?

A good wallow in the mud is more than just fun! It is their first defense to keep cool on a hot day!

“From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.” - Psalm 113:3

Father, what a beautiful view you give us at Refuge. We are so honored to praise you as the sun rises and sets. You are so creative and intentional with your creation. We are grateful. Amen.

Spring Surprise at the Ranch!

Our rescue donkey family has grown. 💙

What started as a group of 4 rescue donkeys, has now become 5! The night before Meadow and Magnolia were scheduled to leave for their new home, Magnolia surprised us with the arrival of a beautiful baby boy.

While their new family is delighted to welcome a baby along with the pair, their departure has been postponed for a few weeks, so Magnolia and her little one can settle in and avoid the stress of moving to a new environment right away.

We are so grateful to everyone who has given so generously to make it possible to care for this special group. Thanks to your support, Magnolia is healthy, thriving, and doing an amazing job with her new baby boy. 💙

We love teaching and equipping our Freedom Reins riders about horsemanship! “The riders learned how to change directions by cutting across the arena diagonally. We even used colored cones to learn which way your horse will be moving as you get ready to ask them to change directions.” - Jen (Adaptive Riding Director)

We are so grateful for our volunteers who came out and helped us plant more crops and w**d our beautiful garden!

In return for their work, they were able to take home bags full of fresh lettuce and spinach!

🎶“I am an instrument of exaltation
And I was born to lift the name above all names.
You hear the melody of all creation
But there's a song of praise that only I can bring.” - Who Else by Gateway Worship

Father, we lift your name in worship today. Praising you for the ways you have worked in our lives. We pray that you use us to walk with others and show them who you are. Amen.
