RBR Wranglers and Horses

I am so very grateful and impressed with my crew here at Rainbow Bible Ranch. Most of them have spent their lives teaching and helping kids. The hours they put in are at times overwhelming. These guys and gals are not chasing down the road for personal gain. My hat is off to them and their families. On Monday Evening, Caleb Reinhold gives some basic horsemanship and safety instruction. And then all the kids get a chance to ride. The wranglers work with them giving helpful hints to make their time in the saddle more enjoyable for them and the horses. Thanks, Julia, Kiersten, Connor, Kyle, Danny, Seth and Caleb. Today looks challenging with temps in the mid-nineties and gusty winds. Pray for the wranglers and team leaders as well as the horses as they head out from the arena and ride the range.

Hunter's Harvest Buffet

Friday nite proved to ba a beautiful evening for out Annual Hunter's Harvest Buffet. Really good fellowship and tasty dishes prepared. Chad Harrington did a fine job sharing with th audience. Good stories... Good message. Thank you to all that made the event special

A wonderful pleasant evening at Rainbow. The main dishes included delicious South Dakota walleye prepared by Rachel Reinhold Sperling and Mindi Rueb. They were so good. The winning wild bird dish was a pheasant pot pie prepared by Shelly Dentonl And Seth Sperling stepped up with a delicious pot of smoked antelope chili. Some other favorites were "Wild About Ribs" and "Peaches and Pronghorn". And yes there were plenty of desserts that you could go back for seconds.

IN THE WORD - MEN'S DAY 2025

In the Word.... Good sermons .... encouraging testimonies. We are grateful to Stephen C. DeFord from Ekalaka, for doing our main sessions. David Paul from Mud Butte and Dylan Madsen of Vivian, shared what God has done in and through their lives. I heard so many compliments from those in attendance.

"Nearly" Heaven On A Horse

Caleb and Danny along with the rest of the RBR crew had 26 men on horseback for a most enjoyable ride on a beautiful day. God certainly blessed this time of fellowship. The Kyle Evans song... "Heaven on a horse on the wide open prairies of Dakota" ... we will just add one "Nearly in heaven... "

Don't Wait

For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. -Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭27‬ ‭

Making hay while the storm rolls.

While we may run out of time for the hay before the rain comes…. Will you run out of time before the SON returns?

Don’t wait! Accept Jesus today.

Came Through in Flying Colors

We had pretty good frost two nights ago in low spots on the ranch, however fortunately, the flowers at Rainbow's Pathfinder Garden came through in "Flying Colors". Robin, Kiersten, Julia, and Rachel are to be commended for their efforts. I have a hunch you won't find these views behind many chutes and arenas elsewhere.

I Love What I Do

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Ephesians 6:10

As I woke this morning,(around 4:10 AM) the words printed above were immediately going through my mind... over and over again. I might add that it not uncommon at all for me to awaken in the morning to songs or scripture immediately stirring my heart and mind. I told Robin a couple of evenings ago, "I miss camp". Not that I was enjoying a break from the "busyness" of camp... but I sure miss the kids. So since it is Friday and I generally give a challenge to our campers on the last day and to their families after the rodeo... Ephesians 6 is the passage I share with you.

I may add... "I love what I do".

Taking A Stand

Taking a stand allows you to see further.... it may take you out of your comfort zone... requires trust... calls for courage... and then wisdom to realize when it is time to sit down in the saddle and ride.
