Testimonials from participants

My family and I were blown away by the luxurious accommodations at River of Grace. There were so many options for rest, exploration, and beauty right at our fingertips. There was the equipment for exercise, high end & spacious living areas, nice cookware, beautiful scenery, access to national parks, and even the close by family friendly activities in Buena Vista. My family of 5 was taken care of so well. The owners were so helpful & kind to us with whatever we needed. I can't say enough good things, but lastly I would like to share how helpful the solitude was. We were able to get away from the cares of ministry for one week & immerse ourselves in God's creation just as Jesus did. The space for prayer, beauty, & intentional time was so healing for us as a family. I'll never forget the moment we drove away when my 2 year old daughter spontaneously prayed, "Thank you God for Colowado." My wife & I drove out with tears & smiles on our faces as we prayed the same thing.

River of Grace provided our family with a beautiful home to stay in and riverfront property to explore. Our week at the ranch gave our family much needed time to get away and make memories together in such a refreshing place in God's creation.

River of Grace was such an amazing place to get to stay at, the outdoor setting and home are absolutely incredible! It is such a surreal setting and the coolest house I’ve ever been in, without a doubt.

Wow! We are blown away by this beautiful space and its surroundings. Thank you so much for allowing us to create memories with our sons this week. From fishing in the river to sitting around the fire on the porch, cooking breakfast and dinner on the grill, and even getting in a workout, we found so much peace and rest.

Thank you so very much. I saw my husband take a “breath” and “weight” fell away that’s been there for a long while. God’s already using your amazing place to refresh his soul.

From the quiet solitude to the beauty of the river and mountains and the hiking trails (and the Fall colors!) to the opportunity to take time to pray and read Scripture apart from other distractions, this week has been everything I could have wanted it to be and more. I am forever grateful for this opportunity!
