The Commission
Matthew 28:19,20 |
|
This "GO" includes taking the Word of God to the down-and-out of our society. This is a command of God that must not be ignored because of fear, ignorance, or the feeling of inadequacy.

The Answer
Romans 6:1
John 8:32 |
|
The answer is absolute because the Word of God is absolute truth. When the root problem of man (sin) is confronted and dealt with through the truth of God's Word, changes occur in every aspect of an individual's life. The Bible + Trust + Obedience = Freedom from sin, and gives peace and joy beyond man's imagination. Freedom from the bondage of sin brings about a life of righteousness. God's Principles guarantee results when trusted and obeyed.

God has given a definite call on this ministry and it's staff to specialize in dealing with the problems in people's lives who have come face-to-face with the result of sin and want help. Behavioral problems and a broad range of humanistic thinking are just a few of the sin issues that must be confronted by God's Word.

The Stand
Galatians 5:1
Ephesians 6:12-20 |
|
We stand, not in our own wisdom and strength, but in the wisdom and power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We recognize the battle is not our own but the Lord's. We strive to stand separated from this world's standards and precepts.

|
|
The ministry as a whole; the program, the facilities, the Board of Directors, and the staff are dedicated to representing the body of Christ in arenas where the local Pastor or Christian may not be able to reach. We are dedicated to the effectiveness of God's Word and it's principles as a guideline for all to find success in life.

In many aspects the Lord has allowed this ministry to be innovative in meeting needs. Support for the ministry is aided through a Calf Program where farmers who desire to get involved, typically in the eastern part of the United States, donate calves and pigs to the ministry. This not only aids in the support of the work but creates an avenue to teach responsibility and character skills as well as good, old-fashioned work ethic. Others can get involved through the Student Sponsorship Program.

Many church do not have the facilities nor the staff to provide a short or long term residential training and development program that is needed in many lives with substance abuse and behavioral problems. Through the ministry of Eagle Ranch, churches can be involved with the transformation of lives through the teaching of God's Word. Eagle Ranch is there to meet the needs of those you come into contact with who have special needs that perhaps you cannot meet in your local church. In having a part in this ministry you have a part in lives being transformed.

The joy, satisfaction and excitement experienced by being involved with helping a person escape from a life of ruin is impossible to describe but should be experienced by all Christians.

The Results
IICorinthians 5:17
Romans 6:18 |
|
The ministry's goal is to see eternal results take place in lives of men. This can happen as we work together; faithful Christians at work, preaching and teaching the men; faithful Christians upholding the ministry and its endeavors in prayer; The Word of God accepted and practiced by the men, and finally as faithful Christians become financial supporters enabling Eagle Ranch to continue and the program to be sustained. God's Word cannot fail!
