The Morning Star Vision
From our earliest childhood memories, Rita Kay and I wanted to live in the country, raise animals and live a country way of life. Little did we know our childhood dreams would lead us into a full-time faith-based restoration ministry.
Rita Kay and I were living in a suburb of Dallas, Texas raising a family, when the vision began growing in our hearts and minds. Few understood our longings and desires, but God's purpose for our lives was being revealed one miracle after another. Praying and seeking God's will, the dream of a ranch ministry became alive in our spirits. Feeling the call of God on our lives to be instruments of hope, love and encouragement, we were led specifically to this beautiful place in Milano, Texas, we now call Morning Star Ranch.
When we purchased the current 166 acre ranch, there was a simple pole barn and working pens - precious little for a viable camp ministry. One day at a time with the love and support of God's people, Morning Star Ranch has become a reality.
The Mission - To Provide
-An affordable facility in a secluded, peaceful ranch environment for individuals, families, and organizations
-Leadership training by applying Bible-based principals through spiritual and recreational activities.
-An outreach to youth whose families cannot afford the expense of sending them to camp
-A special place for Pastors and Missionaries who need a time of rest and restoration

Opportunities to Give: The proceeds from this ride will go toward improvements to the Mt. Olive Cabin. We are looking for a connections for discounts on carpet, brick and metal roofing. Call 512-455-2552 if you know someone who can help!
BOOTS Be sure to tell your friends that we collect boots for the financially-challenged teens that come for camp. Most of them cannot afford boots, so we let them pick a pair to wear while they are here. Check out those boots in your closet - if you haven`t worn them in a couple of years, you probably won`t.
SCHOLARSHIPS Here is a great BIG TEXAS-SIZE HUG for all of you who donate scholarships for financially challenged teens to attend our STAR program!
So many of you always ask what we need. Here are some items that would help tremendously: A good used riding lawn mower, Leaf Rakes, Wheel barrels, Gallon Can Goods (Corn, Green Beans, Ranch Style Beans, Refried Beans), Book Covers for the Bibles we give each teen, White Card Stock for name tags and projects.
