“May the road rise to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine on your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.” – Irish Blessing This beautiful poem dates back to Celtic heritage…
Read More4:13 Ranch is a Christian Cowboy Ministry with a vision for glorifying God by impacting youth, families, veterans, caregivers and teams through the application of life lessons in and out of the arena.
Our mission is to create opportunities for connection, inspiration, and communication through the love of God and rodeo life.
“Maybe it’s the smell of the hay and the horses or the feeling of leather reigns in your hands, but being in a rodeo environment brings me back to a place where I have such a greater sense of roundedness, of being able to connect and pay attention. That’s what we want for the kids, the families, the teams, the caregivers and the veterans who come to 4:13. Our hope is to bring them to a place where all of the noise of life just gets quiet and all they hear is the gate opening and God leading them through.” – Brandy Gray
Creating treasured memories and valuable lessons will be priceless! To build our facilities requires the blessing of support. Will you help hold the reigns for the future of 4:13 Ranch? Support Our Mission
What We Do
Our programs are geared toward strengthening faith and an appreciation for rodeo heritage and cowboy culture. Each program includes presentations and testimonials from revered rodeo names, small-group activities, reflection time, free-play, on-site lodging, and home-cooked meals. Who doesn't love hearing rodeo stories, waking up to the sound of cattle baying, swimming in the pond between sessions and having bar-b-que for supper?

New Morning
The finches and meadowlarks are singing a welcome song from the oak tree that drapes along the fence line behind the ranch house. The horses share their alfalfa hay breakfast behind the stock pens. The sun brings light to the shadows of the creek bed while we reflect on the hospitality we have been shown…
