Seventeen years ago, John and Mary Gaither began their ministry at Eagles Summit Ranch as volunteers. They came, intending to stay for only three months but God had other plans for them!
They were an integral part of the building of the ranch here in Westcliffe on County Road 271. John spent days helping to dig footers, while Mary helped with notching the logs that would become Eagles Summit Ranch. After many months, the Colorado Ranch was complete, and they moved again, “temporarily” to Texas to help with construction of that ranch as well.
With the completion of both ranches, in-depth ministry to veterans, active military, first responders and spouses was ready to begin. Thank you to John and Mary and the many volunteers who have made this amazing ministry possible.
Now, after the death of their son-in-law, John and Mary have decided to retire and return to Alabama to help their daughter and grandson during their transition. Mary will continue to work for Roever Evangelistic Association as a Program Coordinator out of her home in Alabama; and John will be able to spend time in his workshop, working with his hands, as he loves to do.
Roever Evangelistic Association and Eagles Summit Ranch would like to extend a huge “THANK YOU” to John and Mary for 17 years of hard work and commitment to the ministry of Eagles Summit Ranch and to our heroes. Best wishes, John and Mary! Thank you for your service!
