What Our Guests Are Saying

We knew this would be good, but it has exceeded our best expectations. I have hope for the future because of what I have seen in this staff this week.

We had to save our money to take this vacation. We could not afford to come. This has exceeded our wildest expectations and well worth the investment.

This has been the most phenomenal week of our life. We are going home and find a local church to get involved in. Thanks for loving on us.

I wanted to write and tell you how much I appreciate what you are doing for the Kingdom. I enjoyed the Bible studies very much and your love for the Lord is evident. It is just wonderful to be in the Body of Christ with such fine people.

Something happened the first night we arrived that was not planned that set the tone for the entire week. I went to the office late and found the staff and work crew praying for all the guests that week. That was astounding. We really felt God’s presence here.

There sure is a lot of Jesus in Colorado.

This place is inspiring. It’s the staff that sets this place apart from all others. They don’t work here. They serve here.

This has been so wonderful for our family. In the midst of a challenging season in our lives, your hospitality has given us a much-needed rest. More importantly, your flexibility and desire to accommodate us is so obviously a living example of our servant Lord. What a refreshing experience this has been. This has been a gift from God and a reminder of His love.

We had such a wonderful time at Wind River Ranch last week. It was a highlight of our lives. I am sorry I was so emotional and couldn’t speak at fireside on Friday night. I wanted to say, “This and heaven too! Wow!” It was with mixed emotions when we left Saturday morning. We are so grateful to God for allowing me to bring my family, saying goodbye to many new friends, and sadness in leaving such a wonderful and beautiful place.

What you people are doing is so very exceptional in this materialistic, hectic life most people lead. Thank you so much for all your kindness. We will be back.

I am sorry I didn’t get up at fireside Friday night to let you all know what an encouragement you have been to me. Our family has been dealing with grief and going through a healing process for the past 14 months. Our 17-year-old son drowned in the ocean while we were on a mission trip last summer. God has been with us for every moment of this process. We have witnessed God’s power and His love more in the last 14 months than ever before. I could go on and tell you many more stories about how God has worked, but for now, I just want to say thanks from the bottom of my heart for your love, your witness, and your encouragement. We will pray for each of you and the ministry of Wind River Ranch. Keep on going in Christ.

I was a guest at the ranch last week and I cannot tell you what a week it was. People at home ask how was your vacation and all I can say is it was great, wonderful, unbelievable. I am unable to put into words how great, wonderful, or unbelievable it was. What an experience! You are such a great witness for Christ. I do not think I have ever seen a group of people so well demonstrate the qualities of Christ. I could feel Christ all around the ranch, in the mountains, in the smiles of the people, and in the firesides. I hope you have continued success and I hope to see you all soon.

Thank you for your hospitality this weekend. However, as grateful as I am for that, I’m so much more grateful for the loving care and concern you have showered Tommy with. Sending him off to school this fall would have not been possible without the chance he was given by all of you. You are preparing him to be a warrior for Christ, and I believe he sees that plan for himself. Thank you for the time to speak Friday night. I wanted the work crew to know how their friendship and countenance had affected Tommy. I want both of you and Kyle and John and Rob to know how eternally grateful I am. Bless you, for taking a chance on Tommy. It has changed his life.

Memories of the best family experience we have ever had. Thank you seems so inadequate for all the joy and love we found at Wind River. We are so grateful to you and the entire staff for showing us hearts like Christ. Our family has been blessed in untold ways from the week with you. The boys still pray for Brownie every night, and I for one am just thrilled to have survived my first rafting trip. You are true servants of our Lord. Our love to everyone there.

Wind River was a window of light for my soul! Makes me ever mindful of my place in this life. Having endured the hardship and sadness of the dying of my best friend and father of my children on one side of the window and the love and support of caring people on the other side doing what they can do to serve me fills me with joy. The memories of the trip afforded us will be treasured always. I was especially touched by the graciousness of the good people at Wind River Ranch. It was nice having a placid place such as Wind River to rest and heal which provided harmony to my soul. Thank you.
