The God that we serve is in the business of Redemption. And Christian Encounter is in the business of partnering up with God doing the same. Redeeming stories, healing traumas, and making a way for a new life in Christ. During my time at the ranch, I have seen the Lord working in these students lives. You see them struggle, feel completely alone, forgotten and abandoned. And over the course of time, you start to see light and joy in their eyes as they start to experience God’s freedom. You see this through the supernatural love that staff, interns, & residential volunteers pour day in and day out. CER is a special place and donors through the agony ride, make it possible for students to break generational cycles. I will never be fully able to understand completely laying my life down the way Jesus did for all of us. But I do know that I can give 24 hours so that this place can continue to house youth for many more years to come. For healing, restoration, and hope. As difficult as it is, I will always say yes to advancing the Kingdom of God for the sake of young people knowing Jesus. I am hopeful that you will choose to partner up with me and be a part of something bigger than ourselves. To continue advancing the gospel.
John 15:13- "No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends."
Philippians 2:3-4- "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Do not merely look out for your own interests but look out for the interests of others."

Ride like the wind, girl!!
Dude, well done!! You are amazing!!
I have been praying the Holy Spirit would strengthen your inner being throughout the ride. Thank you for giving the students and all of us an example that helps us grasp the depth of God’s love for us. God’s great power is at work through you! “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:14-21
Did you make it?
Hey girl
Jacqui....you went to work and THEN started a 24 hour bike ride?!?!? You're AMAZING!!! May God bless your efforts, not only for the ranch but also in your life! I'm praying for you as you pedal along towards the end of the race and will share a verse that has kept me going so many times... "Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" Galatians 6:9 YOU GOT THIS!!! Jennifer...Kendall's mom :)

Jacqui, you're doing amazing. Keep pushing, and I'm praying God would be your strength, song, and salvation in every mile. "You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?"
Jacqui, You’re beautiful inside and out. And strong. Father, bless my friend as she rides. Love, karen

You got this frienddd! I love you! Im so proud of you!
Praying for you Jacqui! You are such a testimony to the students and all who know you that “ we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-9
Jacqui, you are so articulate! I love your encouragement included in this post! And your times between sags are very impressive. God be with you and bless you and keep you safe and warm for every rotation of your pedals! Love to you!
You are amazing! This is so impressive. I love that this ride- this work- means so much to you. You are a gift,!

In all that you do, whether you eat, drink or not do it all into the glory of God! - 1 Corinthians 10:31

Thank you so much Jesus for a wonderful sister like you. It’s going to be a beautiful blur for you 🫶💛🌻
It's only through mistakes we make We learn where we went wrong. It's only when we're far from home We realize where we belong. It's only when we close our eyes Our dreams seem clear and bright. It's only in our darkest hours We truly see the light. It's only when we lose our way We pray to the stars above. It's only through times of grief We learn the true meaning of love. It's only when all hope seems lost And our weary journey seems so far, When all the world's against you, We learn how strong we really are. All things are sent to try us. We must strive and give our best. I believe God is watching over us, And he guides us in our quest.
Sister!!!!! I’m so proud of you as you travel the road less followed! Not conforming Pushing boundaries Loving people in action!!! I know you will have strength, perseverance, joy and grit through all of these miles because you trust in the father! And if we are in Him, He is in us And grants us exactly what we need. So do not be scared to ask and receive!!!
