FRIENDS OF R4C RANCH 



R4C RANCH is community of Christian horse enthusiasts that are serious about horsemanship but don't put competition over having fun with horses and people who love horses. We believe horses are an amazing gift from God. This rustic, country atmosphere provides an excellent opportunity to seek a personal relationship with Christ.

"Speak to the earth, and it will teach you (Job 12:8)."  

Not a horse owner, hike in or take a hay ride shuttle to the retreat. The retreat offers hiking trails, fishing, paddle-boating, a campfire ring, and a campfire cafe. 

  

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
--Musicians to lead campfire worship
--Pastors/Christian teachers who would love to offer a short teaching to our group 
--Small group/prayer leaders to lead break out groups after our teaching
--Fire Starters to prepare the campfire ring during the trail ride
--Campfire cooks to help prepare meals after the trail ride.
--Tractor drivers who want to pull the trailer for the hay ride shuttle.
--Experienced equestrians and horse trainers to help train rescued horses for use by non-horseowners on the trails.
--Anyone handy with a few hand tools to help build the chapel at the retreat.
--Those with a desire to serve wherever needed.
