Jubalee Ranch
Some information on where we are staying:
Jubalee Ranch is 650 acres, 15 minutes southwest of Corpus Christi, Tx. The ranch is located in the Chapman Ranch area and borders the King Ranch. We have 7 species of deer, horses, miniature donkeys and horses, cows, goats and several other domestic animals. The ranch also has feral hogs, coyotes, bobcats, turkeys, hawks and various other wild animals.
John and Tammy Hearn, owners of the Jubalee entities, believe that everything they have, their assets and their talents, are blessings from God and belong to Him. When they were blessed with Jubalee Ranch...they asked God " What do you want us to do with this, how can we serve?" The answer was to open their home and ranch to youth.
We are very thankful the Lord has given us this connection!

Email to Parents - 11/18/09
Just a few helpful reminders:
1. Keep in touch with the blog
2. I see a couple of familes doing this and it is not a bad idea - they have been adding a little bit of money at a time to their student's account. You don't have to do this, but in the long run it may be better than writing one big check in March.
3. Reminder - January 8 is called the “point of no return” – final decisions need to be made on your student's participation in the trip, otherwise after that date you are responsible to pay for your plane ticket. (This is for the adults going on the trip as well)
Keep praying!
Any questions, let me know. Thanks
