Forgot to tell you.....

Oops. I forgot to tell you that our new name will simply be P22-6 Ranch. Because we will be a foster parent community we will not only be helping boys but girls as well. We are working on changing all of our logos. Please be patient! It's a process!

The New Us

I realize it has been quite some time since we have updated our blog. All of this social networking takes some getting used to, especially finding the time with all that we have going on.

We recently had a community meeting to introduce our new format. We are now moving forward as a "foster parent community" as opposed to a "group home". There are a number of reasons we have slightly changed gears.The short version of the story is the same budget will go a lot further and there will be less regulation from the state that will hinder even getting started. We will post a new flyer shortly. We are very excited about this new program.

We still feel that this effort is to be located at the property at Log Cabin Corner. We continue our fund raising efforts to purchase this property but have a long way to go. Every little bit helps and we covet your prayers.

We would love to come and speak to your club, group or foundation to tell you more about our calling. We also love to speak to individuals! Please contact us if you know someone who would like to hear more. Can't wait to talk to you!

God bless you and stay warm!!!

Update

It was a long weekend at the Woodward Expo Farm Expo but we came away very blessed. It was our first P22-6 booth. It looked great with our new banner (thanks SPC) proudly out front!

We talked to soooo many people who loved what we are doing and even had some contributions. It was such a blessing to get to share our story (which is just beginning) with so many people we didn't know. A lot of people have read articles about us in the Woodward newspaper, Western Star (Coldwater paper) and the Baptist Messenger. It was good for them to get to hear it from us and put a face to the mission.

We (Kirk) will soon be speaking at some area churches to help spread the word. If you would like us to speak at your church please share with your pastor and give us a call. We would love to share with you!

Keep on Truckin'!

Got our P22-6 Boys Ranch banner today and it looks great. Thanks to Kirstie at SPC for taking care of that for us.


Lots of positive contacts in the past couple of weeks including our first official, in hand contribution from a private citizen. Hoping to have a write up in the paper soon with pics of our first corporate and private citizen donors.


Looked at a new plot of land that has possibilities and just praying to see where God wants to take us next.


Have a wonderful day. God bless!

Nothing will stop Gods plan.

Despite the snow, below freezing temps, no banner and having to move the meeting to another location at the last minute we had quite a few people come to learn about P22-6 Boys Ranch. We even met some new people. We went through a slide presentation and then answered questions and had refreshments. The word is getting out and the Lords work WILL be done. With God nothing is impossible!

Thanks to all who came to learn more and support our mission. A special thanks to Tyrel and Brandy Pickard for all of the help you gave us and Brett Allen and First Baptist Church for letting us move the meeting there.


There will be a follow up meeting soon and a fundraiser of some sort. Details to come as soon as we have them!

God bless you all.
