Testimonials

“He exposed idolatry and put Christ back on the throne of my heart. After that moment, all other pains, hurts, disappointments, and sin disappeared. Everything had become clear. I am a child of the Lion of Judah, the Great High King! He loves me and has fought for me. I felt at home for the first time under the outspread branches of His tree.”

“After passing through the gate at Watchtower Ranch, this feeling of peace came over me; and passing through the door, I was overwhelmed. If I can say one thing about my Z experience, it would be: Life changing.”

“Years of struggles, pain, and shame came to an end on my Z weekend!“

“To say God used Z to help me “turn a corner” would be an understatement! Chains were broken and healing began during my weekend at The Ranch! This Spirit-filled ministry helped me understand the grace and love God has for me!”

“The unstoppable love of God broke down my walls and healed what was broken in spite of me.”

“Z gave me uninterrupted time with Dad to sit at his feet, hear his voice and receive what he had for me. It was a protected time and place; every time I went out, I knew I was being lifted up in prayer by brothers who cared for me.”

How did Pursued change you?

Testimonials

"I am grace. I am free. I am fierce." 

"He revealed the key to unlock forgiveness. He revealed who my real enemy is. He revealed His fierce love for me. He revealed who I am. I am known."

"I am a child of God. I have a renewed spirit that is ready and willing to seek God in relationship on a daily basis."

"I have confidence that God is by my side, that He loves me unconditionally, and that He will never go away."

"I have found a new identity in Christ. I've known Him for a long time, but I always felt like I had to perform perfectly and found myself running away/hiding (like that works) from God because I felt so much shame and guilt. To know that I have been pursued since the day I was born by God and nothing I do changes that is a very freeing thing!"

"I walked away from Pursued with a sense of freedom I have never experienced before; forgiveness, yes, but not freedom. I now can experience a daily presence with my Savior."

"I am more rested, less weary, and at peace. I am loved by God. I am His daughter. My heart is softer, and I have a more gentle spirit."

"I feel more love for my Father and a closer, more intimate relationship with Him."

An enemy might be able to defeat one person, but two people can stand back-to-back to defend each other. And three people are even stronger. They are like a rope that has three parts wrapped together — it is very hard to break.

• WHAT IS TETHERED?

Tethered is a weekend designed to provide fathers and sons (ages 11-17) an opportunity to spend one-on-one time together to bond with each other and the Heavenly Father. We believe God designs us for connection, and fostering a healthy connection between fathers and sons brings honor to God. We believe when two people seek after the Father's heart together, a bond is created that can withstand any adversity and echo blessings to future generations. A tethered bond creates hope, heals old wounds, and changes the future. We would like to invite fathers and sons to a 48-hour weekend at Hi Point Ranch with no distractions or barriers. This opportunity provides intentional time together to pursue the Heavenly Father's heart for you and his will for your relationship, as a reflection of His relationship with you. A biological relationship is not required. We encourage any type of father-son relationship to attend, as long as the man plays a significant role in the young man's life and is committed to staying engaged in the young man's life.
