Stewardship of Shaky Ground

It's marvelous that the Church of the Brethren Outdoor Ministries supports the total ministry of the church including education, evangelism, peace education, and stewardship of all resources. But a bit sad when a COB group can't find a place to meet at a COB Camp. But then, if you're going to scoff at stewardship of your resources, maybe you're just looking for a naturally pleasing environment.

You Could Get Your Head Stepped On

Bull Riding For Jesus

Jon Bisset, who is one part cowboy and one part Christian missionary, is the owner of River Valley Ranch in Carroll County, Maryland. Bisset's grandfather started the ranch after immighttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrating to the United States from Scotland in the 1920s.

"He always had a fondness for the American cowboy, and he was a minister down in Baltimore city," Bisset said. "He saw a lot of kids getting in trouble during the summer time and thought this might be an opportunity to reach out to the kids of Baltimore city in a unique way." So his grandfather started RVR, the first dude ranch on the East Coast, reaching out with the gospel to kids who ordinarily wouldn't step foot in a church, Bisset said.

More Valuable Left Standing
