Hey Friends and Partners,
Fall is in full swing at New Life Ranch! We’re thankful for the opportunities God continues to give us to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and equip believers for ministry. While summer camp 2026 is behind us, we’re busy serving churches and schools through our retreat ministry and preparing for summer 2027.
Thank you for faithfully praying for and partnering with New Life Ranch. Here are a few updates and ways to pray with us this month!
🍂 Retreat Ministry — A Full Fall
We recently wrapped up the Jenks Wild outdoor education program, welcoming approximately 1,000 sixth-grade students to the ranch over several weeks for a two-night, three-day experience. We’re grateful for the opportunity to invest in these students through outdoor education and meaningful relationships.
We still have a couple of horsemanship retreats available this fall — sign up here!
Please pray:
- That the Jenks Wild experience will have a lasting impact on students and teachers, and that 100’s of kids will come back to summer camp.
- That God will bring the right participants to our remaining fall retreats.
- For our staff as they serve guests and create opportunities for ministry.
☀️ Summer Camp 2027 — Getting Ready!
Preparations for next summer are already underway! One of our biggest priorities is recruiting approximately 250 Jesus-loving young men and women to serve on summer staff. We’re also working on programming, facilities, and the many details involved in welcoming thousands of campers.
Please pray:
- That God will provide the right summer staff who love Jesus, love kids, and are eager to serve — apply here.
- For meaningful connections with students at regional college campuses.
- For wisdom and unity as our teams prepare for summer 2027.
❤️ Mission 19:14 — Camper Scholarships
Through our Mission 19:14 Camper Scholarship Fund, we help families send their children to camp regardless of their financial circumstances.
In 2026, we awarded approximately $760,000 in camper scholarships! As we look toward 2027, we anticipate awarding more than $800,000 to help even more children experience camp, hear the gospel, and grow in their faith.
We’re incredibly grateful for the generous donors and ministry partners who make this possible!
Please pray:
- That God will provide the resources needed to meet the growing scholarship need in 2027 — give to Mission 19:14 here.
- For the families receiving assistance and the children who will attend camp.
- For our donors, churches, and ministry partners who make these scholarships possible.
Thank you for standing with us in prayer and investing in the ministry of New Life Ranch. We’re excited about what God has in store for the months ahead!
We believe camp is making an eternal difference, and we’re thankful to have you as part of the story!
Grateful for you,
Tom Graney
