THE
OMEGA RANCH PROJECT

In 2009 the Holy Spirit
birthed an important mission, THE OMEGA RANCH PROJECT into
the heart of Perry Stone. While praying and asking the
Lord for future direction of the ministry, the Holy Spirit
spoke and asked Perry, “Do you want to go where I am going?”
Of course the answer was “Yes!” The Lord responded, “Then
prepare to minister to the children and the youth, as I am
going to pour out my Spirit on the sons and daughters of
this generation.” (Joel 2:28-29). At that moment, two direct
plans were dropped in Perry’s spirit. He began praying and
searching for the right location to build this future
ministry campus. The answer to his search was located
directly behind VOE just across the railroad tracks. These
80 acres will be developed in phases over the coming years.

PHASE I
The first phase will be to construct a large facility to
house a youth ministry center, along with a larger meeting
place for events, gatherings, conventions, partner
conferences, camp meetings, youth and prophetic conferences.
After completion of the Omega Center International Facility,
a youth, singles, and young couple’s weekly service will be
conducted on Tuesday or Thursday nights. The music,
teaching, and worship will be geared for this generation,
and as the youth movement grows these gatherings will move
to the larger facility. Each month Perry will host an
area-wide gathering in the main center, inviting youth,
singles and young adults from all backgrounds to this
non-denominational facility to worship, pray and hear a
fresh Word from the Lord! We will also mentor young people
for ministry on a regular basis.
PHASE II
During phase II, we plan to construct one of the most unique
youth camp and retreat facilities. Situated on the “Ranch,”
the buildings will have a western theme and will include a
game and sports pavilion (at the Train Station), a large
barn for morning and evening services, other buildings such
as the Freedom Jail, the Omega Bank, God’s Theatre for the
arts and worship, and a huge cafeteria in the town’s General
Store. A theme park type of setting will blend into the
farm/ranch atmosphere on the land. Each summer, youth will
come to the camp’s facilities, not just to have fun, but to
experience two services a day and encounter the Lord in a
setting among their own age group. We can visualize
thousands of youth passing through this camp receiving
Christ and being exposed to the mighty power of the Holy
Spirit.
Perry Stone, Marcus Lamb, Jentezen Franklin and other
ministers have all encountered the Holy Spirit in church
youth camps. Perry said, “Our youth need a place to go where
they are not spending hours on cell phones, text messaging
and playing computer games, but where outdoor and indoor
activities and the spiritual simplicity will attract and
impact them. They also need to get away from hectic
city life and be on land that is like the “old farms and
ranches – a place with animals, a large lake with fish, and
a place to ride boats and to baptize young believers in a
lake of fresh water!
Phase II of this project is to develop the Youth Ranch.
However, the OCI Prayer Barn presently stands as the first
building on the Omega Ranch and it is currently being used
for weekly prayer meetings. To God be the glory for what He
has done and will do in the days ahead!

PHASE III
To maintain the favor and blessing of God on this land, the
lower section will be farmed by a young man named Nick
Williams. Much of the food grown and raised on this section
is given away to the poor and needy in the area and sent to
special feeding centers! We believe that by farming parts of
this land and supporting the poor it will maintain the
blessing of the Lord upon our efforts.
THE
MIRACLE HAS BEGUN!
As Perry was searching for land, he eventually met the
owners of this farm. The owner was not interested in selling
until he heard the vision and plan the Lord had placed upon
Perry’s heart. Perry told several partners, “It’s not that I
need one more thing to do, because I am very busy right now.
But this is a God thing for a long term ministry. It will
continue long after I’m gone, if Christ tarries!” He also
said, “I know it seems strange to talk about building in
what some have called a recession. However, the Lord always
tells me to advance or build when it seems like it’s not the
right time. This is because he alone wants the glory for
providing the needs to pay for the project.”
One of the greatest miracles concerning the 80 acres is that
it was paid in full the day the land transfer was made!
Perry saw this coming in the Spirit and set aside funds for
3 years. We are now applying for permits to dig the lake,
and prepare a dirt mound for the Omega Center International.
We will need many miracles of financial provision to
initiate and complete phase one.
I believe that many parents and grandparents are burdened
for their children and grandchildren, and want to invest in
their spiritual future. There are some who have no children
or grandchildren, and God will place it in their heart to
support this project with substantial giving to carry on
your name and legacy and plant seed for your eternal reward.
I also believe that somewhere in the United States there is
someone who has been blessed in an extraordinary manner, and
they will plant a major financial gift to help move this
project forward.
If you want to be a part of the ground level of this
project, you can give a donation for the “OMEGA RANCH
PROJECT” and we will see that it is placed 100% into the
building fund for the first phase, which includes preparing
the ground and surrounding area for the facility. As God
provides we will move forward. We will keep you updated each
month in the VOE magazine, on the Internet, and through the
Manna-Fest telecast.
I believe we must move quickly and accelerate this important
assignment. I pray that the Lord will speak to those who
have a burden to help financially, and bring others who can
assist in other ways to see this vision fulfilled.
