16 years ago, I was drawn to Christian Encounter because I desired to be a part of helping others close the gap between where they are and where the Lord calls them to be. I wanted to partner with Jesus to see the full capacity of Isaiah 61 on the earth. Each day at the Ranch, the Good News is being proclaimed. Each day, with the help of the Holy Spirit, young people take courageous steps from bondage toward freedom, brokenness toward healing, mourning toward joy, ashes toward beauty, and devastation toward restoration.
This year, I find myself excited to ride in the 2026 Agony, because by riding I get to partner with Jesus to bring freedom, healing, joy, beauty, and restoration to the students’ lives.
Thank you SO MUCH for choosing to sponsor me - the precious Ranch students are worth it!

Sharon, You are an amazing servant of God, in the trenches doing the tough work! I am impressed with your strength in obedience. I pray the cool morning air is refreshing and empowering. You can do this! Praying in HIM, Cera
I’m very impressed! Praying for you!
in the words of your husband (probably): keep going!!! it’s meaningful to me that you have supported wynter, and it is meaningful to me that you have loved the whole ranch. i love you!!
Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. By day the Lord commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:7-8 — praying for you! you’re killing it!!!
P.S. I just have to say, Sharon, I am SO proud of you. You're a mommy and still riding in the Agony! You juggled a lot to be here, and God sees that and will bless your gift of love! Go get ‘em, girl!
Sharon! You’re killing it! Already half your mileage goal!! I just got baby Lane down for the night and I’m praying for you. Thinking of the glory of what God is doing… what you are doing through Him…how the spiritual realm is being affected through your sacrifice tonight and tomorrow (and after, recovering while doing mommy-life!)…. Thinking of the glory—behind this veil—that we just catch little glimpses of… today those glimpses are a little easier to see than they usually are. Thank you for your sacrifice—over the many days at the Ranch, and today. Thank you for tangibly loving the students and the whole Ranch community. May you ride with Jesus! May He give you wings.
Keep it up, Sharon! Over the 100 miles mark! We are praying for you as you ride into tomorrow!
Sharon! Look at you go! One leg at a time. Even the darkness cannot hide Him. Father, bless my friend as she serves your purposes through her. Great love, karen
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26 — you’re doing amazing!! 🎉🎉🎉
Faith doesn’t make the road easier—but it makes YOU stronger! Tonight, may your heart carry you through the miles your legs question. Trust the One leading you all the way to the finish! Texas is behind you. God is beside you. Keep riding!
Just checked your mileage, and you are doing amazing putting on those miles! Praying for you as you rest or pedal through the night. May you feel God close to you giving you all the strength and inspiration you need to keep going. With him, you can do it!
keep up the good work 9c-qn0nucy9n09y0b66fb
