Dearest Friends and Partners,
We have some great news to share
with you this time! Many exciting things are going
on at Loving hearts and YOU are a part of every one
of them.
Our first ladies have come into our
women's home, the Ruth House! One of them is Becky,
a precious lady that is here by court mandate. Becky
is excited to be with us and she daily thanks God
for a fresh start. The women in the home are in a
six-month program that is like a spiritual "boot
camp" as they go to classes, serve and prepare
for success in the free world. Thank you, partners,
for believing in us and making a difference in Becky's
life. Every life we touch, YOU have a part in!
Tulsa Police Dept. Donated Two Horses
for Crossroads Ranch
The Tulsa police department had to
cut their budget and ended their "equine officers"
unit last month. We received an email that invited
us to adopt their horses as long as we qualified after
we filled out the paperwork. Loving Hearts-Crossroads
Ranch were recipients of two of them! We recieved
Ned, a 16-year-old bay Quarter Horse gelding, and
Jack, an awesome 14-year-old red roan gelding. The
other horses on Crossroads moved over and immediately
let the police boys at the top of the pecking order.
Must've been the police brand on their hip!

Cowboy Camp!
Our first "kid's
cowboy camp" will be held in March during Spring
Break. The link above gives more information on this
as well!

Happy Valentine's
Day!
We rejoice for our
own, Tim and Candice, as Tim recently got out of jail
with Candice waiting for him on the outside. As they
have been faithful to attend marriage counseling,
they will renew their marriage vows February at our
Valentine's night. Congratulations, guys! We are so
proud of you.
MAILROOM:
"I am an inmate
here in Georgia. I never really believed God was real
until I read your book, A Bear and a Dove. If God
can do it for a guy like Bear, I know he can do it
for me. I have a brand new trust in God now. Thank
you for caring about us."
George, inmate, Valdosta,
Georgia
"I laughed and
I cried when I read your book..but most of all I gave
my heart to the Lord in a brand new way. I look forward
to meeting Bear in heaven some day, but for now, I
take the Bear Challenge to walk like he did. Please
send my wife a book so she can be touched as much
as I was."
Steven, inmate, Ocala,
Florida
Thank you so much
for your giving into Loving Hearts...many are the
lives being saved! Because of you, our communities
are a much safer place to live and people are making
positive changes in their lives. We love you and pray
for you daily!
In His love and ours,
Dove
and all of us at Loving Hearts Ministry
We Love You!
Dove, and the
rest of us at Loving Hearts
