A Discipleship Ranch for Set Free

2 Corinthians 5:11-19 says, "Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, ...For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf...Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation."-NAS

When addicts are seeking to break the cycle that has their lives dominated by drugs, homelessness, prostitution, crime, prison, hopelessness, etc., they need two things: a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and an intensive discipleship program in a safe environment that allows them to flee temptation and incorporate life changes that will make their old ways disappear. God has given us this ministry of reconciliation in Set Free.

Would you join me in praying for an appropriate location for the Discipleship Ranch? Ideally this location would be somewhat remote, have proper zoning, and a house or housing that can be set up. We need a place for men and one for women and their children.
