A Message from Beyond the Ranch

Although I have never had a direct experience with Birch Bay Ranch, I have had witnessed the impact that it has had on a very special young woman. Annette Wagers, who is passionately canvassing for the continuation of the ranch, has shared marvellous stories of her adventures at Birch Bay Ranch. Through Annette's eyes I have learnt of the camaraderie, the love, the forgiveness and sharing that this sanctuary has encouraged. I think the fact that BBR sends a message beyond the faiths that support it is incredible. That is stewardship at its finest!

Jesus said that all hope lies with the children. To understand the full impact of this simple statement one only has to talk to a therapist. Most messed up adults started as troubled kids. I hope that Birch Bay Ranch may can extend it's reach so that even more youth may experience its environment. Christianity is a way of life and Birch Bay teaches youth how the teachings of Christ are taken out of the church. I pray that this place continues.
