Pray for more full-time staff! The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few!

Praise God for more volunteer staff--we have hired 7!

Praise God a refreshing Big Shindig! This is our kickoff event for the 2010 Adventure trip season. We had about 35 volunteers come out and be spiritually renewed.

Pray for the 2010 Stonewater Ranch Fundraiser on May 15-16. We are praying for a greater awareness of the ministry here, and many people who desire to be partners! Our goal is to raise $100,000 going toward our continued expansion of our property, operations budget, and student scholarships.

Praise God for the blessings of serving with YD Adventures and Stonewater Ranch. We are thankful to be part of this ministry. The joys of ministering to teens in God's creation are unending.

Praise God for giving us life through His Son, Jesus!

Praise God for all of our partners in this ministry! Those who support us in prayer, relationships and finances!

Pray for Shane as he balances staffing and river responsibilities.

Praise God for the completion of the new maintenance shop! And work continues on the Adventure Center.

Pray for the continued expansion of Stonewater Ranch. We have recently run into some roadblocks with Chelan county concerning approval of our master plan and conditional use permit. They are big issues, involving wetland deleniation and water rights. This is very frustrating and could be very long and expensive process. It has brought a screeching halt to getting the master plan approved so we can continue with expansion. Please pray for favor in the eyes of those making decisions, creativity and discernment in figuring out the next steps, and opportunities to be a light to the officials our staff have interactions with.

Pray that the students who need to encounter our Creator will come this summer!

Pray for our families in Western Washington and Southeast Kansas. They are a continued blessing to us and we are thankful for their unending support and love for us.

Pray that through the whole of life we continue to -Give it Some Heat!! Giving our all for the Lord and not leaving anything behind.
