Strong Tower Ranch: A Christ-Centered Refuge for Youth
Strong Tower Ranch is a Christ-centered refuge on 114 acres in Foristell, Missouri, offering hope to children, teens, and families through summer camps, equine programs, and retreats. Mary Martha Thrift Shop is proud to support Strong Tower Ranch, with our charitable awards funding vet bills, horse care, water troughs, a tractor, work days, site maintenance, a new beach area, and monthly operating costs.
A Place Where Young People Find Hope
Strong Tower Ranch uses the beauty of God's creation and the powerful connection between humans and horses to share biblical truths and life lessons. Through summer day camps, horsemanship camps, Trailblazer Retreats, and equine programs like GATES and Remnants, the ranch engages young people in hands-on activities that build confidence, character, and faith.
Caring for the horses and the land that make these programs possible is a significant ongoing effort. Vet bills, horse care, water troughs, tractor maintenance, and general site upkeep are essential to keeping the ranch safe and welcoming. Mary Martha's awards help cover these costs, ensuring the ranch can continue serving young people year after year.
