Our hearts are full with so much gratitude as we reflect on Friday, July 31st. The conclusion of our very first SPF Ranch Leadership & Mentorship Program.

Six weeks ago, these students walked through our barn doors with different experiences, different fears, and different stories. Over the past six weeks, we've watched confidence grow, friendships form, leadership develop, and hearts open.

Friday night was a celebration of all that God has done.

Watching each student confidently ride into the arena, share the lessons they had learned, and demonstrate the skills they had worked so hard to develop was something we'll never forget. We couldn't have been more proud of every single one of them.

But the greatest moment of the evening didn't happen in the arena.

It happened when 20 of our 34 students chose to publicly profess their faith in Jesus Christ through baptism!!!

There are no words to describe what it felt like to witness these young people boldly declare their faith, surrounded by their families, friends, mentors, and our community.

A heartfelt thank you to Associate Pastor Zachary Schmuck from Thank God First Church for sharing God's Word and for the privilege of baptizing these students. You certainly helped make this evening incredibly meaningful.

To our amazing families, thank you for trusting us with your children and for the gifts you so generously gave. Mart and I are feeling the love for sure!

To our mentors and volunteers, thank you for giving your time, your hearts, and your unwavering support. I know God is smiling at your efforts!

To our sponsors and everyone who believed in this vision from the very beginning, thank you so much. Your generosity helped create a place where young people could discover confidence, purpose, and, most importantly, the love of Christ.

Mart and I began this journey with a prayer: that SPF Ranch would be more than a place to ride horses, but that it would become a place where lives are changed.

Friday night, we watched God answer that prayer in ways we could have never imagined.

We give God all the glory!!!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this first season one we will never forget.

Saddle Up.
Find Your Purpose.
Ride With Faith.
