Greetings,
On October 3rd, we held out annual fundraising event and I want to personally thank each and every one who attended!  Our theme this year was ‘Back Porch Tales’.  The rocking chairs and screen porch doors that were placed on the stage created an atmosphere that was welcoming and relaxing.  This gave our moms, grandmothers, therapists and partners and opportunity to share their hearts.  

One of our guests was Amelia from our partnership with Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas.  Unfortunately, Amelia has cancer but you would never know it.  Her smile is contagious and her love for Fancy (miniature horse) and all the other horses at Hope Remains will melt anyone’s heart!.  If you missed the banquet, I pray you’ll make plans to join us next year.  In the meantime, we would LOVE to have you stop by the ranch and visit with us!

On any given day, our rocking chairs, swings, trails, fire pit area and offices are full of broken lives searching for answers and hope.  If our rocking chairs, swings, trails and other items could talk, you would learn about many lives, their hurts and struggles.. You would also learn how thankful they are that there is hope and that regardless of their past, God still loves them. 

Dear friend, thank you for your support and prayers. Thank you for giving to Hope Remains so that we can continue to sit on the porch and offer Jesus to a hurting world. I invite you to come out to the ranch and sit with us.....you will have a front row seat and be able to watch the Lord work miracles through angels in horse hair!

We were honored to host 400 people at our banquet, Blue Jeans & Pearls, Back Porch Tales! The evening included a picnic style BBQ dinner, complete with apple pie and sweet tea! The stories from the porch (stage) were real, and showcased what it is like to be a part of what the Lord is doing at Hope Remains Ranch.

The ranch is growing! During the summer, we had three construction projects happening all at once! It has been an exciting time. Seeing the Lord provide in such a tangible way has been a blessing to behold!
 

We are pleased to announce that through the generosity of the Lord's people, we are now able to incorporate a workshop experience for our guests. They are now able to learn how to create things out of wood and other raw materials, and do minor repairs. The workshop opened on September 9, 2019 and provides an extension of therapeutic services for the children and adults served each week at the ranch.
