PrayerPosse

We are thankful for those who have prayed for Returning Glory for the past 10 years.  Bringing the workers and the horses before our Father is of utmost importance.  We welcome you to join us in praying for this equine ministry and the wounded hearts that our Father sends to us.  If you are interested in being a part of the PrayerPosse please email Returning Glory at info@returningglory.com.   You will receive prayer updates and  information on PrayerPosse gatherings.  We also welcome any input from you that you have received from our Father during your prayer time for Returning Glory.   

Posse definition: “a group of people with a common interest with power or authority of the county (ministry), summoned by a sheriff (Jesus) to assist in preserving the public peace.”

Preparing Pardners

PreparingPardners is a training program, designed to equip volunteers to be a Pardner for those children, adults, or groups coming to the Returning Glory ranch.  When awareness is developed that recognizes the interaction between the horse and human with understanding of the “experiential learning” concept, we are prepared to have a more safe and effective learning experience. As a Pardner, you will always be under the supervision and general instruction of a certified Returning Glory facilitator.

Please call the office for information on the next scheduled PreparingPardners training for 2012.

You are a special part of what God is doing here and we value your participation. On His Trail ~ Gary and Roxanne Van Riessen

Preparing Pardners classes consist of:

  • Horse training
    • Equine Body Language
    • Horsemanship Skills
    • Round pen work
  • Pardner training
    • Solution Focused Methods
    • Paralleling Life with Equine Experiences
    • Getting Yourself Out of the Way
    • Understanding Experiential Learning

The Pardners will experience and discuss how an equine activity parallels life and God’s truth, and then, how we can help others discover their own heart issues and solutions. The goal is to not get in the way of the effective and simple ways horses teach us.

Other Opportunities

Returning Glory has many opportunities for volunteering, from painting fences to cleaning tack, cleaning the barn. Those needing Community Service hours are also welcomed to put in time at the ranch.

Please call to ask about our current needs and scheduling possibilities. Thank you for considering helping this ministry.
