Day 3 - Saddle Ridge Ranch Review

Everywhere we turned at Saddle Ridge Ranch today were streams of the colour red. That’s right, partners! Today was photo session day! All Cowpokes and Ranch Hands proudly wore their red Saddle Ridge Ranch t-shirts. As the photographers went from Bunkhouse to Bunkhouse, it was yet another amazing day.

What an awesome worship rally this morning at the outdoors! When we arrived this morning, we were surprised that there was NO ELECTRICITY in church! Thank God for the wonderful weather and the cool morning breeze out on the basketball court! It was exciting to worship God outdoors and to sing the new song for the day “Tumbleweed”.



Additionally, another special guest visited us today. He was a short tax collector called Zacchaeus.

Praise the Lord that as the Cowpokes entered their Bunkhouses, the electricity was restored! During Bible Study, Cowpokes found out that Zacchaeus was surprised when God knew that he needed Jesus as he was sitting in a tree, just like God knew that we would be here at Saddle Ridge Ranch! Luke 19:1-10 was the Bible Story focus of the day.

The Cowpokes had a white and powdery fun-time at Mustang Mountain. Here, they played a game of “Branded Relay” where they used flour for branding.

The catchy and likable tune of “Tumbleweed” got the Cowpokes and their Ranch Hands moving to the beat of the song at the Worship Rally Valley. This song reminds us to plant ourselves deep into God’s word.

Missions at Firefly Cavern was just as informative! Cowpokes learnt of God’s plan for the missionaries in the Amazon jungle. Similarly, God has a plan for each and every one of us.

Cowpokes were indeed energised and refueled after their snack at Big Sky Grill. Today’s menu was alphabet veggie soup with garlic bread and Ribena drinks. Cowpokes were encouraged to search for the letters A-B-C in their soup as today was ‘ABC’ (Admit, Believe, Confess) day.

Craft time was lots of fun at Blazing Star Stables too as the Cowpokes made their very own Bolo Tie. Each colour at every tip of the Bolo Tie star has a story behind it.

Day 3 was all about the ABCs: Admit that we are sinners and repent from our sins, Believe that Jesus is the Son of God and Confess our faith in Jesus as our Saviour and Lord.

Cowpokes also learnt that God has a special plan for their lives as stated in the Bible in Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

See you tomorrow for another day at Saddle Ridge Ranch! God bless!
