Upper Deer Creek Work Team Video

A new week here at Refuge Ranch! After a work team has left Refuge Ranch, it almost feels like the beginning of a new era with all the changes that the work team effected! Last week's team from Upper Deer Creek Church in Galveston, IN was no exception!

  • They prepped and wired all the buildings at Refuge Ranch for new 220 power! (Please continue to pray that the Lord would light a fire under the Mexican contractor to get the power up the hill so that it can be connected to the buildings! We can't wait!)
  • They painted the laundry room and installed shelving so that, as soon as the 220 power is available, we can move our laundry facilities off the patio and into the laundry room!
  • They re-cemented the patio around our current home so that it would be nice and wide and flat for the smallest kids to be able to ride their bicycles and tricycles! (Our previous patio was stone, so it was very uneven and had cause many skinned knees and, living on a mountain, flat places for bikes and trikes are rare, so the patio now provides a place for the smallest of our budding bicyclists!)
  • Surprise project - after receiving news of the possible addition of a sibling group of 5 children to our family, the team obeyed God's prompting and added on a bedroom to our home! (Please pray for Cirino, Mark, Victor and Adrian as they now need to finish up that room!)
  • They renewed and developed incredible new friendships with each of us: our children and staff! Thank you for impacting our lives with your love, hugs, service and smiles!
Each time a work team visits Refuge Ranch, we like to make a video summary of the pictures and happenings of that week! So, below, you can enjoy the video created of last week's work team! We praise and thank the Lord for each one of their lives and for every individual who played a role in making this work team's visit possible!
