Ken Solem, Horse Program, Stonewater Ranch
Ken and Sabrina have been a part of Plain Community Church since moving here about three decades ago. They moved to Plain to be a part of Alpine Boys Ranch (ABR) which was a group care facility for at risk teenage boys. They served with ABR for 17 years, and while at ABR Ken started and developed a horse program for the boys. While there, God showed him how horses can be an incredibly valuable tool in revealing God’s true nature and shaping character in these young men.
Youth Dynamics (YD), who had been working with youth in rural areas for more than 40 years, took over the property when ABR closed its doors and renamed it Stonewater Ranch - and launched their first ever camp. Ken approached them about starting a horse program and they said, “If it will reach students for Christ, let’s give it a chance.” One of the things that Ken loves about YD is the desire to lead youth into a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ and then get them plugged into a Christ centered church. The Solems are blessed to be serving youth and living in this community among friends and supporters of their ministry. God is at work in this valley, across the Country, and around the globe!
