Rancho La Alegría
Outreach and Training Center
Vision
Establish an outreach and training center on a working ranch where cowboys and others can come to know the Lord and His salvation; learn to walk in their salvation and take possession of their inheritance in Christ; return to their homes as leaven for the Kingdom of God.
Accomplished Objectives: Ranch property acquired October 8, 2004. See Ranch.
Current Objective: Build Bunkhouse, Arena, Residence. See Projects.
Future Operations:
- Conduct schools and special events. Cowboys from throughout Mexico and Latin America come and stay for a period of time, during which they receive instruction from Christian cowboys in rodeo events, horse training, horseshoeing, etc., as well as in the Word of God.
- Make the facilities available as a center for ministers' conferences and church retreats, offering spiritual refreshment, recreation and relaxation.
- Use the ranch as a base for an evangelistic rodeo team to put on exhibitions nationally and internationally for the purpose of sharing the Gospel.
- As a working ranch, to be a financial blessing in three areas:
- To become a ministry which is self-supporting.
- To provide finances for sending Spanish-speaking cowboys throughout Latin America to preach the Gospel.
- To provide financial support for other ministries.
