November Newsletter



Director’s Message

Jimmy Kyle, Seth, and Alvin just celebrated their completion of Renewal Ranch with a graduation ceremony held at Second Baptist Church in Conway on October 22, 2011.  Special thanks to Kim and Kailey Hogue for coordinating that event. 

Also, thank you to David and Patti Stobaugh and their group for serving a delicious meal after the ceremony.  As always, the Dooleys did an amazing job in leading the worship portion of the service.  Last, but not least, Renewal Ranch is grateful to Mark Dance and Second Baptist Church for allowing us to use their facility.

The graduation made room for some new residents.  We have taken in Matthew, Thomas, Christopher, and Todd.  Please keep these and all the men and their families in your prayers. 

During the chapel service on 10/29/11, three of our residents received Christ.  Also, Neal Winstead and Larry Pillow baptized two others the following evening at Family Life Bible Church in Conway. 

We rejoice with the angels in heaven!  God is truly amazing! 

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to God, my wife, the Renewal Ranch Board, the Ministry Leadership Team, pastors, teachers, all of the churches, individuals, and community who make Renewal Ranch possible.  I feel that I have the best job in the world and I am surrounded by a great group serving along side of me.  My goal is to serve the Lord and these men well. 

Please join us Saturday November 6, 2011 for an All You Can Eat pancake fundraiser at Stoby’s in Conway from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.  It only costs $5 and kids under 10 eat free! 

The ministry received a grant and will be getting a new mini-bus in early 2012 to transport the men.  Therefore, we have a need to raise approximately $10,000 to pay our portion of the $43,000 cost of the van plus the sales tax.  Please prayerfully consider how the Lord would lead you to help us meet this need.
