Men of Valor Ranch, located on the Columbia River in northeast Washington, opens February 1st 2007. Struggling young men ages 18-25 will come and live for up to 12 months in log cabins on a 40 acre farm and orchard.
Director Matthew Bruner and his wife Dawn are teaming together with Richard and Sharon Bruner (counselors and family members) as well as a full staff that includes former Job Corps trainer and drug counselor Robert Merrill. Other staff advisors include a health coach, a medical doctor to oversee medications, and other life coaches and mentors.
Men of Valor Ranch is dedicated to helping young men deal with the issues that have
kept them from coming into maturity and successfully transitioning into manhood. While living in the beauty of the wilderness, the men will experience "
on the job therapy", :question: as staff call it. This includes therapy as needed both individually and in a group?..dealing honestly with themselves and each other as the issues naturally arise.
The men will work on personal issues while learning skills in various construction and agricultural trades, making them "job ready" when they graduate the program. Men of Valor Ranch will offer all residents certificate training in basic construction, wiring, masonry, and nursery stock farming. [
Ahhh, another "slave labor" program.]
The program also has a strong emphasis on wellness through both diet and rigorous training.
Men of Valor Ranch is committed to men finding freedom and destiny with good diet, work ethic, life skills training and direct mentoring.

Men of Valor
Bruners- Richard and Sharon (counselors)
Matthew and Dawn
Richard has experienced a level of pain and anguish that God reserves in particular for those to whom He wishes to entrust attributes of His own character and nature. Richard and his family have endured and persevered in the face of overwhelming odds, and have come out of their trials and afflictions transformed. He has always ministered powerfully in a prophetic dimension, but God is adding a passionate love of the land combined with a heart cry to minister a lifestyle of healing, leadership, and dominion, particularly to Christian men. From his small farm in the beautiful mountains of northeastern Washington, Richard and his family have much to offer as God?s people seek to find the ?old ways? that will bring rest to their souls spoken of in Jeremiah 6:16. I commend Richard to the body of Christ as a man who passionately loves God, honors authority, is a loyal friend, and has a heart overflowing with a desire and an anointing to be a vessel God can use for healing the hearts and souls of Christian men.
