Missions Outreach

 
Community Outreach
 
Christmas Blessings
 
        One of the passions of Restoration Ranch is to better the community and lives around us. Over the past few years we have been involved in supporting Christmas outreach endeavors among the surrounding communities. Each December we help provide gifts and meals for the Midfield families that enrolled for help during the holidays. 
       
 
 
Project Pastor
 
      Ric DuBroc pastors First Baptist Church of El Campo, Texas. Ric and Lorna have served God’s family faithfully for years. Paul and Billie have known the DuBrocs for over thirty years and have developed a heart for them over this time. When our staff realized that it was Ric and Lorna’s dream to have their own home for their retirement, we helped make that a reality. Paul II helped design and oversee the project so that they were able to build for only the cost of material. They are now enjoying their new home and continue to serve the people of El Campo.
 
 
 
Midfield Makeover

        Two weeks before Christmas 2006 the Stewart Lynn family lost their home to a fire. Their family of nine lost everything. The Lord placed it on our heart to help this family build so they could get back into their own home as quickly as possible. Paul II is serving as the general contractor over the project to help this family rebuild in a timely fashion. The house is currently under construction and the family is very excited. We hope they will be able to move in by the middle of June.
 
 
Mission Outreach
 
Walk For Him Ministries
 
        Kenny and Maria Reeves serve God fulltime ministering where their motorcycles lead them. They were both delivered from lives of bondage, and they share the message that Jesus loves us and died so we could live in freedom. 
Kenny grew up in a small town in Tennessee. As he grew older, he found his place in motorcycle clubs were the men were older, stronger, meaner and worse than what he had experienced as a young teenager. As the narrow escapes became more frequent and the deaths more common, it became evident to Kenny that there must be something more for his life; something better.
        Maria grew up on the lower east side of New York City. Maria was surrounded by gang fights, drugs and violence. She began hanging out in the streets and nightclubs, even getting involved with witchcraft. By age twenty she knew she was traveling fast down a dead end street and she had to do something with her life.
        God has sent them many places in the U.S., India, Germany and Mexico, to tell people about Jesus from the streets to a professional indoor football team. Kenny and Maria preach, teach, minister and share their experiences. They believe whatever the Lord needs them to do He will equip them to do. Please pray for the Reeves as they reach out to hurting people

Ascension Church - Inner City Youth Outreach
 
For many years, Ascension Church has been reaching troubled teens for Christ in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. They offer recreational activities, outdoor concerts, and other activities that students can enjoy. The gospel is being presented to them in a way that they understand and their lives are being changed for the better. We are excited to be a part of reaching this young generation for Christ.
 
 
India Mission trip
 
November 2006 Paul II traveled to India on a mission trip with Wade Trimmer (Paul and Billie’s pastor). Paul and Wade were the speakers at a pastor's conference in Mandapada where they teamed up to preach 13 times in 4 days. They spoke to numerous outlying villages during their stay and many people came to Christ during their travel. The trip was an overwhelming success.
