WELCOME!

Dear Friends,

This summer our theme is “Mighty to Save!’” - Zephaniah 3:17. What an awesome verse. “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” Reflect on this verse as you enjoy the Cran-Hill Ministry provided by the Lord for more than 42 years. “Be glad” & have fun, “be quiet” & rest in Him, and acknowledge Him as you hear the sounds of “loud singing” from summer campers and campground guests around the campfire and during Sunday services. You are encouraged to use the Cran-Hill Ranch Family Devotional Guide provided with your stay; take some time to read God’s word; and enjoy His creation while you are here at Cran-Hill Ranch. We are happy to assist you to insure your stay is enjoyable and, most of all, a foundation for going back home and, as a family, shine for Jesus Christ. Please read through this booklet that has been prepared just for you. There’s lots of new items and important information in these pages. So even if you’ve been coming to Cran-Hill for many years you might just miss something if you don’t read further.

Please, let us know if there is anything we can do to serve you while you’re here. Yours in the Love of Jesus Christ,

Scott R. Barger, Sr. Executive Director

Cran-Hill Ranch is devoted to being a ministry through which God is transforming lives into the image of Christ though Youth Camps, Family

Camping, Retreats, and Adventure Experiences.

Page 4: Family Camp Dispatch 2011

Cran-Hill Ranch is blessed with countless acts of giving from people who love this ministry. Many give with talents and time by volunteering in areas of their expertise and general labor, while others are able to give to the Cran-Hill Ministry financially.

Cran-Hill Ranch is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization whereby your gifts are fully tax deductible. The Sunday offerings and your regular gifts go to support the daily ministry operations of Cran-Hill, particularly the summer youth camping ministry. To meet this need, we ask you to prayerfully consider giving as the Lord leads you. If you are unable to give financially, please remember to lift up the Cran-Hill ministry in prayer to the Lord throughout the year. Cran-Hill Ranch also receives offerings and gifts through many different avenues. Please feel free to see our Executive Director if you feel the Holy Spirit leading you to contribute to the ministry in any way. Whether it is through a stock gift, a bequeath, a gift in-kind, financial gift, capital campaign gift, the C.H.A.M.P program or volunteerism, Cran-Hill is grateful for your faithfulness to the Lord and partnership in the ministry.

Thank You.
