Fact #1:
To raise awareness of the ministry happening
God’s Spirit is changing the lives of children, teens
and their families in the rural mountains of southern Honduras.

To increase our financial support so we can influence more lives
The Ranch has been blessed with consistent financial giving to cover all of our basic ministry needs. With more monthly support we can expand current projects that we have in the community to help with people's standard of living and mental/spiritual health, plus give us more in roads to communicate the Gospel. The reality is that money is necessary to provide the services we offer to the youth of Ojojona and Tegucigalpa.
We've had approximately a year-and-a-half living on our new 17 acre property.
We will be collecting funds to improve the property and pay off our interest-free loan!
Major projects include new staff house, new fencing and finalizing several construction projects: the Beard's home/team meal hall, ministry house renovation, and the equestrian riding areas.
A large financial invest would be a major blessing.
Please inquire about other financial needs.

Fact #3:
To call the body of Christ to come along side us
by organizing short-term missions teams
The majority of the Ranch’s construction projects are completed by groups and the money & labor they put into the buildings. Completed projects mean more opportunity to share the Gospel. We've also expanded outreach to the community via VBS, community/RO4Y family construction projects, health seminars, a youth purity conference, rummage sales and special dinners. Teams have also joined us by participating in the regular scheduled events of the ministry week, like leading Bible studies and teaching new crafts.
So much construction as been accomplished in the ministry season of 2016!
Yet, so much is left to improve on this 17 acre property.

We also recognize the dynamic spiritual change that can happen during a missions trip. Marillyn and I are serving as full-time missionaries because of our short-term experiences.
It’s a kingdom building investment at the Ranch and in your life.
Is God calling you to invest a week or more of your life for His kingdom in Honduras this year?

To recruit short-term (3 month) and long-term staff & families
In the field, Rancho Oasis is two full-time North American staff, one full-time Honduran staff, several part-time Honduran staff and a family of six that includes one bi-lingual adult, a deaf woman who is proficient in Spanish communication and five children under the age of ten. We are stretched to the max and amazed at all that God is doing. We’ve seen God move even more when another adult or young person joins us in ministry. (We are praying specifically for someone to assist Jon with the construction projects and maintenance of the property.)

Reality is we can’t accomplish what God has called us to do on our own.
God is preparing each one of us in the body of Christ to serve and advance His kingdom.
Will you test God’s faithfulness to you at Rancho Oasis?

For some R & R: "Refreshment and Rejuvenation"
7 months of ministry with all of its ups and downs can be invigorating to the soul, but draining on the body. The Beards are looking forward to reconnecting with friends and family, as well as enjoying time as a couple! (This year Jon and Marillyn are having a "baby-moon" before the birth of their 5th child. Marillyn's parents will be watching the kids in Honduras in their absence!)
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying,
our spirits are being renewed every day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NLT)

We look forward to seeing you this August!!
Keep these goals in your prayers!!!

Be that as it may, a payday advance is not a viable alternative for long haul budgetary arranging. This loan should just be taken to meet earnest money related requirements until your next payday. Payday Loans
