Horse Ministry update January 14, 2012    We ended our Horse Ministry program this season just before Christmas with
a live nativity. All the kids participated (including a ton from Marquez de Leon). Please pray for our ministry as we shift
from kids in the church to kids in the village. It's a whole new ministry :)!

Leave the Outcome to Me November 29, 2011
…was my devotion Saturday morning as I got ready to kick off our
Horse Ministry program once again. It was a sweet time with the Lord as He prepared my heart for the morning. All the leaders
arrived at the ranch, many new to the program, and we sent out the two vans- one to the church (La Paz de Cristo) to pick
up our church kids and the other to Marques de Leon, the next door village we’ve been working in and praying for. The
rest of us stayed here and made all of the preparations, waiting expectantly for all of the kids.
The first van to get
back was the one from the church. The leaders jumped out... and the van was empty. Completely empty! In the three years we’ve
run this program we have never had an empty van. “No kids!” I said in disbelief. How can this be! Where are the
kids? What will we do? What will I say to all these new leaders? Lord, what should we do? “Leave the outcome to Me,"
He whispered.
The second van pulled up; the one from the village. It was led by Peter in the Subaru. To our utter
amazement, both car and van were completely packed with kids!!! Kids who had never been to the ranch, most of which had never
even touched a horse, and many who had never heard the Gospel. Ahhh, how much better is it when we trust the outcome to Him!
We had an incredible time together and the children's eyes sparkled as I said, "See you next week!"
As we came together
this week to celebrate Thanksgiving Day, we were so grateful for the chance to see the Lord touching so many lives here.
We also thank God for you each day; for the way you have touched our lives, stood beside us, prayed for us, helped us through
times of struggle, lifted us up in times of joy and continued to walk this journey by our side. -Cher
